    This exactly.

    @Alipoprocks You are also, once again, only using your own judgement and dismissing those that disagree. Even in your own example. You can't take a handful of the population you met while living in an area and use that to define what the area actually is... and you'd almost 100% be wrong if you're using that experience to judge the rest of the people in that state. Countries, States, Counties, and Towns can all be -vastly- different from each other. I assure you that my next door neighbor is vastly different from myself. That's where stereotypes come from that aren't right at all. There are some things that can be backed up by facts.. say statistically one area has a higher crime rate than another area, you could say living there was more dangerous. You couldn't assume most the people living in that area were criminals though, that'd likely be incorrect.

    You also don't have any facts, or statistics, to back up any claim that one community is better than others. You can't say "well in FFXI only x% of all the players were kicked from parties while in FFXIV y% get kicked".. that survey has never been done. What you're doing is talking to a mostly like-minded set of people (those who like FF and liked FFXI) about your experiences, which are no doubt going to be similar. So of course you're going to find a lot of people to agree with you.. just like in my circle of friends, who mostly didn't like FFXI, our experiences are similar. That -still- doesn't make either one correct.
