The community made me leave

[Vahlnir]

Compared to the community in FFXI and our server, yea this one's bad. Face it this FF is WoWified period. Dailies, mounts, glamours, etc. including the poor attitudes and behaviours of other players based on experience with WoW and it's various clones. Never have we encountered such rampant "toxicity" as we have in this FF so far not only in game but in forums too.

They drew a bit of inspiration from WoW, but NONE of these things are WoW exclusive...People can say that the community is toxic all the want, and while there are people who act in a toxic manner it isn't as bad as people claim to be. I'm not saying there's any shortage of jerks either...there's more than I'd care to admit. It's just the way people on the forums portray our community...and it's not very accurate. XI's community was much more friendly because of how it was made, and you can't really compare it to XIV, though ours is pretty accepting as well off and on. Also, WoW's community is worse, though such issues exist in every MMO on the market. Been there done that for 5+ years.

@ Vahlnir

You are someone I can have discussions with. In the end I just feel more people need to have patience and be helpful. For me helping others is an accomplishment worth achieving. Granted there are some you can never help because they simply will never get what you try to teach them.

[Kiroh]

Did you seriously just blame the "bad" community for ruining the game while simultaneously telling everyone they suck and can't play right?

I don't even...

If you think this community is bad, try playing league of legends.

Priya, these three seem to be the ones with the biggest end game/raid communities -

Balmung
Excalibur
Leviathan (I think?)

Yeah, I'm thinking Levi or Gilg. I'm on Excal, but it's been hard to find people who meet my times; I see a lot of PST peeps which is too late for me.

Levi may be your best bet. Isn't that the server Blue Gartr is on?

[Keres]

I kind understand how you feel.

I lost interest in being a guild and raid leader after my first MMO thanks to the community.
It took me 3-4 MMO's to lose interest in being a hardcore end-game player thanks to the community.
After playing all these MMO's I've lost interest in putting up with the drama. It's a pointless cost just to get digital loot. I'd rather take the long boring route and see a slight increase in gear than care about BiS. All thanks to the community.

You didn't even read his post, did you? LOL.

(Hint: you think you're siding with someone who's sick and tired of elitism, but you're actually doing the opposite.)

BG is on Excal, not that it particularly matters.

I don't think the OP means "bad" as in "toxic" but actually just bad. In which case, recommendations to join a Free Company or linkshell are OP's best bets. Set up Party Finders for difficult content and add people from that who you think are good to your friends list. It really helps to network and meet people.
