The community is absolutely fine.
agreed, and i will elaborate a bit.

I play on PS3 with a keyboard. I don't like to chat all the time while I am fighting, but I do chat at the start of a dungeon, when someone does a good job with something, or in town talking to people etc.

The only "toxic" situations I have had are when people have different expectations. When you start a dungeon, and everyone besides one person is new, you can't honestly expect no one to make a mistake. When a mistake happens, people freak out for no reason. They have different expectations than other players and for that reason some people might get upset. That is not really "toxic", though. That is just frustration in general about having your expectations not met.

In addition, I find a lot of people mention that the community is toxic because people ask for certain things in a group. this is a problem for 3 reasons.

1 - people should be able to compose any kind group they want. If you don't like that, thats not a community problem, thats a you problem.

2 - people think that having group requirements is "elitist" when in actuality it is just preference: I personally like having 1 ranged and 1 melee DPS. When I put a group together myself, I usually look for 1 of each, regardless of item level or skill. I am willing to work with people.

3 - Put your now groups together if you have a problem or think that the above 2 reasons cause "toxicity". This is an MMORPG where different people like to do different things with different groups. just because YOU disagree with something someone else does, doesn't mean its toxic, its just a difference of opinion.
