Community in this game is unbelievable.

I guess you did not play the same i played from 2003-2010.

Even parties are respectful to each other, how often you see /bow in FFXIV? lmao

About as much as I did in XI. Part of that has to do with the fact that the group doesn't have to be in the same zone when you do a piece of content "lmao".

Please explain to me how after doing something together as a group, how do the parties disband? leave without telling anything?

Sit around and chat, just like we did in our Linkshells on Cait Sith. I even *gasp* meet new people and add them to my friends list when doing PUGs.

How about when parties waiting for others members to join? how often do people leave the pt without saying anything?

A bit more than in XI, but I don't see it as an issue. Most people will talk if others initiate a conversation.

Players don't even have the courtesy to say, "sry gonna join the other pt, this party is not gathering members fast enough" or even a simple "hey guys sry im dropping pt"

I saw people ditch xp parties all the time in XI. Did you ever do merit parties? It was normal for people to join, farm like mad, then leave.

I guess you like that kinda attitude, im sorry i dont, this community is sure as hell not like FFXI... where people drop pt without warning, fight for 5 mins and disband, rage quit like there is no tomorrow.

Because I'm not blind to the similarities between the communities, I condone bad behavior? wat.

Those are not rare occasions, sadly those are general way of doing things in FFXIV.

Absolutely NO COMMUNICATION.

Yeah, we definitely played a different game. I never bought the sunshine and unicorns expansion to XI I guess. XI had a great community sometimes, but your nostalgia is seriously blinding you from how that community actually was. I can tell you never participated any HNMs. The community is what you make of it. Engage in positive behavior and it will be reciprocated, but if you keep pining for a community that never existed (XI) you're going to leave disappointed.
