    Poor community in this game?

    Okay, so, I understand most MMORPGs will have its a-holes and trolls, but there has been something bothering me about this game for a minute now--its community. I have been playing for almost 8 months, and it seems that almost 4 out of 5 (maybe 9/10) dungeons runs is usually full of arrogant, rude, and impatient players. I have played other MMORPGs over the past 10+ years (Maple Story for 3 and World of Warcraft for about 5, and others as well), and... I did come across this, but not to this extent. I even went back to WoW for about 3 months, and still nothing to the extent of this game.

    Don't get me wrong, this game is great and far better then a majority of MMOs out there, but is it just me, or is this game community just down right awful?

    For me it is absolutely the other way (except 2 fails kick farm parties etc. in PF, but if I join them I expect no excuses and I am not surprised when people are angry if someone makes dumb mistakes) I usually have fun with strangers in Mor Dhona, Fate parties, Frontlines and so on. Sometimes someone rages in dungeons but usually when someone says they are newbies to their class/job people are fine and patient.

    Compared to other MMOs I have played it is better but only because most of MMOs I played had mass pvp and in games like that people usually rage more and the worst communities I have met were in free to play games like Dota, LoL and P2W MMOs.

    EDIT: BTW when I tried Wildstar for month I have read topics on reddit about how their community sucks compared to community of FFXIV. ) I kinda feel like FFXIV people have more sense of humour and are willing to have fun, especially the reddit community.

    A lot of the time when you're running in the Duty Finder, you are getting people who are completing their dailies or are running something for the 100th time to get something for their relic. They want it done quickly and they want it done now, and they don't have the patience for someone who is new. I'm not saying everyone is like that, but as people get higher levels and fall into that grinding category, you'll meet more and more of them. My advice is to find a nice social guild to do your dungeons with. Most servers have an FC where they level together, or do their dailies together. It creates for a much more relaxed atmosphere.

    Generally the community is quite friendly and has a good sense of humour (so many humorous shout moments) but you do get people who are much less polite than others, especially in the duty finder. Outside it the worst I see is people giving everyone abuse for missing an S rank or pulling it before they could get there in time.

    In the DF though, it can get harshly toxic, I think everyone can attest to meeting really unpleasant players, mostly in EX primal and raids (hell in the Binding Coil, new players are talked down to in my experience)

    It's so strange because I'm on the same data centre, and all my friends and other acquaintances I converse with mention that this is one of the nicer communities they've seen in an MMO. To the point where they are actually annoyed at how overly nice people can be. How people wait for hunts instead of just going at it. How greeting people and making small talk is the norm for even the most quickest of dungeon runs. The overall politeness is apparently jarring to them.

    I haven't played many other MMOs so I can't really compare.

    The only place I constantly ran into rude players was Labyrinth of the Ancients, but 1 or 2 out of 24 isn't too bad.
