Not often. Meet a lot of nasty people in shout chat but I do get one hell of a kick out of winding them up.

I've only run into one person that was obnoxiously rude. Most of the time when I do duty finder everyone is either silent outside the initial greetings, or jokes around. Today I had a CT run that almost every fight was a near wipe, but man chat was hilarious.
Questing is like participating in an Old Spice Commercial - Talk to me, talk to him, talk to me, talk to him, Now Talk To Me...Sadly, you are not done, back to him, look there, its that mob I never liked, back to me, back to him...I'm in the Waking Sands.
I was on Halatali with a pug group, i dps and my friend healing. The tank was awful and asked all of us like, is this your tenth dungeon or something (yes, it actually was for me :P ) A lot of rudeness like we were so stupid an did my pet even attack?? (Yes it was) Since I had been playing very lithe then I felt it was like a blow to my face and this guy made me sad. After that it took a loooong time for me to go into dungeons with ppl I didn't know. Now I've had som positive experiences also, but still mostly like do stuff with my FC.
It is the Internet. Met one on my first login in Beta.
MANTASTIC: I got 1017 problems, but playing FFXIV ain't one.
Llyren: Lala Tanks hit point density levels attract small planets
A French player once called me "damn Nazi" in a run lol never found out why because I did not do anything irritating in that run. Good thing was that the other 2 players (not from Germany) gave that guy a really hard time afterwards. He was DPS and healer didn't heal him anymore and when he grabeed aggro, the tank didn't even try to get it back so he died a few times till he left cursing us all. :xd Oh well, some peeps are just special. And that some use the Nazi card on German players in 2013 is something that shouldn't be commented further lol.
Mostly just ran into less skilled players. No actual disgusting people yet.
i started encountering lots of unfriendly people inside lv 50 story end , lv50 dungeons etc. , insulting and votekicking people new to the instances is nothing uncommon
I normally tank, and I'm pretty good at keeping aggro/using CDs and making sure I go at the right pace depending on the group. So, I normally only get people that are nice.
However, yesterday, while tanking brayflox longstop for the first time, I had a summoner who kept complaining and whining because I skipped a chest off in a nook some where. Then I said, "Oh, again (because I said it at the beginning), I don't really know this place". And he replied "Then how about you follow the people who DO know, instead of just running all over the place?". I responded "Na, you're a D***, so I'll just go where ever".
And then later on, the healer asked me if we could go into a side area that drops a ring and I told the group "Oh course. I don't mind doing whatever, I just didn't appreciate the way the summoner was presenting his case".
Basic decency goes a long way while asking the person "leading" the group to go some where extra. I'm always very cordial to all my groups and I never mind doing anything to make the run better for all. Heck, I'm that tank that waits at the bosses door in Prae until everyone is inside. But, I do expect to receive the same kind of respect. A simple, "Can we get the chest over here?" would have been enough to make me head your direction. Saying stuff like, "You're skipping loot AGAIN." is not the best way to get me to cooperate.
Also, this same guy kept attacking whatever he wanted instead of going in order (I always mark on low level stuff). So, if there were three mobs, the unmarked one would always rush him after a bit even though I'd use Flash a couple times. Some people just don't know how to act when in a group with other humans.

As soon as I hit endgame. Unless I'm playing with a group of friends it seems like I get nothing but nasty people.
I'd also like to add, that my first really nasty person was when I did CM the first time when I first hit 50 on my Dragoon. Most of the group was new and the tank wouldn't explain anything well and then call us all noobs when we would die or not do some mechanic right the first time. He would say stuff like OMG, KILL THE ADDS!" and then when some add spawned that we were supposed to ignore, we attacked it and died. He also kept saying stuff like "You guys are never going to make it in end game and I'm ashamed that I'm helping you get there" and stuff like that.
Heck, he was probably the main reason that I'm such a super friendly tank. I don't want people to think all tanks are like that.
