How I See FF ARR Community

[Aerostein]

The overall community in this game (specially on the forums) remind me of Tera's.

Haha oh god, no. TERA was much worse. I think that game attracted much of the CoD crowd more than anything else half the time. Community here is far from perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as TERA imo.

I have run into a number of "unkind individuals" but on the whole the community is pretty good. Btw Aerostein I absolutely adore your signiture!

Thank you. ;v

Anyone who think's this community is as bad as tera's was obviously not around in tera at the beginning lol. Tera is by far one of THEE worst gaming communities that ever lived ever. Well either that or you were on a carebear.. i mean PVE server. ^_^

This one has it's ups and downs. The funny thing is the most stuff I see people qqing about is the fucking cut scenes and the lag issues in the game (that some don't believe in at all even with the mounds of proof)

All in all not too bad.

I wouldn't know, there's not much need to interact with the community.

Which is kind of sad, I've tried to interact with people, but half the time it's rare I even get a "Hello" :/ But apparently that's what people these days like, unsocial mmos where you can pretty much solo the whole game or if you have to have people, never say a word (Sounds kind of like they're more wanting single player rpgs lol)

Honestly Behemoth is hands down the worst server NA, I've transferred to about 5 diff servers, and Behemoth has the most elitest/ADD/crybaby/quit if it doesnt go ur way server out of all of them, I hate this place and would switch If I didnt like my guildies so much.

One word: Elinware.
That. Is. All.

On topic: I've quite enjoyed my time here and everyone has been nice. In fact the game itself has frustrated me way more than the people have.

One thing I noticed about this community is that it's always cool to bash it. People seem to like that. Oh, and they consider Yoshida and all of his decisions to be perfect.

[HoroBoro]

I've yet to meet a purposefully mean or unfriendly person in Cactuar <_<
Most of the people in my linkshell/FC are willing to drop whatever it is they're doing to help people organize and run anything ^_^
Perhaps you guys need a server change >_>

Eh on the flipside of things, the "trolls" are so godamn weak, it's a major facepalm. People on my server think it's actually new and funny by spamming "sammich", "octopus" to everything. Then 5 minutes later of this they tell in flat out text "we are trolling" . . .

Like seriously did you guys just discover what trolling is ffs.

Let's also make one thing clear.

Forum community /= Ingame community

I'll say that the FFXIV community is good, better than most mmorpg's. But calling it the best one? No, not really. Too much of people easily raging/quitting over minor stuff. Or people not wanting to listen to good advice. And also the mentality of wanting to help people seems to have mostly faded. (Seriously, it doesn't take long to help someone clear a storymode primal fight...)

FFXI had the best community in my eyes. But that was also because the game caused such mentality to exist. iRO had a good ingame community as well.

I agree forum posters are more vocal then the ingame community. What I am talking about is the ingame mostly. But even the forum is much better then WoW or such. Less QQ or ragers here that demand the game to be what they want. Of course they are still here but even they are more civil.

When they add PvP there will be more "Nerf X class" threads but that is common with PvP
