Poor community in this game?

[Leigaon]

The dregs of the community will always overshadow the the good of the community because that's all anyone really remembers.

True, and because they all post a lot of the same thing over again demanding answers!!! Guess that can stick with you..

Yet there's only one Show your Roe thread..and that will always be memorable for me.

The community though in general seems to be split, there's some real cruel people out there and then there's some very fun loving people. I'm on primal server and you get good with the bad. Most of the bad ones are ones that have played way too long for the day and need a nap...and a hug.

My server is awesome, Never really have any issues. I assume you're on a North American server? I use to be on Exodus and and found it similar to what you're saying.

Welcome to North America.

Remember though if you are using the DF for dungeons, you are being grouped with all servers within the same data center.

This kinda mimics a thread I started about DF zombies. Though if you read that thread, it seems that the majority of people care not for you, or even wanting to talk to you. Though I have had some better runs through the DF, but most people just say nothing, go full zombie mode, may have even forgotten why they are here to begin with. Atleast if they are rude, you're getting a response, and there is a human behind that character.

Or they could be playing on the PS3/4 and trying to chat on a controller is a huge pain in the butt.

You can use a keyboard with the playstations, and if you aren't prepared to do that you probably shouldn't even be trying to play this game. Some degree of communication is necessary and playing on a console is not a good enough justification for people being unable or unwilling to communicate with other players.

I play with a keyboard and controller, but honestly its still not that easy to chat while dungeon running.
it will unpop your cross hotbar and sometimes you need to retarget just for a "lol". or you think you're about to type and it opens 17 menus and you run off a cliff.

No ones talking about integral communication here, just your boring idle dungeon chitchat

I've met a lot of people who are nice on here, especially through duty finder. I mean of course you get someone/a group that just doesn't work well, but it's few and far between really. In fact most of my DF runs are pretty quiet, with just the standard hellos and thank you/goodbyes.

What are you more likely to remember, a standard run where no one says anything to each other (but gets everything done), or the time where everyone did everything wrong and you all fought for an hour and a half?

It's a pretty average high pop MMO really. There are bad groups, good groups, meh groups, all sorts.
I haven't had many problems, but i've seen it.
The way I've determined it, jerkass behavior is actually a ratio: the more players there are, the more jerks their are.

[MeridaQ]

Yeah I love the ff community it is one of the main reasons I play the game. I can't count the amount of drive by cheers or hellos I have seen or the amount of random silly conversations. My fc and link shells will shout out things like fat chocobo party in mor dhona or manderville flash mob in limsa. My fc did a secret Santa and play games like musical chairs at the house. The community is great you just have to find the people that make you smile!

I've played a lot of MMOs over the years. XIV 2.0's community isn't as nice as it was during, say 1.0's beta (probably because we were too busy pointing out the exact same issues to ad nauseum to be mean to each other). But there are far worse communities out there that make this look tame.

WoW, FlyFF (post Version 9), but Aion's is the absolute worst when it comes to community. Even their CMs are awful.

[ZephyrK]

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?

I think this game has a reputation of having a great community and I pretty much agree with it.

We had an altercation between staff members at work the other day, and afterwards one of them was shouting, in full view of the public, "Why is everyone picking fights with ME? No one talks to anyone else like they talk to ME!" I don't know you, so please don't take offense to this, but I believe opinions formed on particular gaming communities tend to be based more off of the individual than the community itself. Maybe you need thicker skin? Maybe you need to avoid your own trigger points? Myself, when I tank, I turn into a complete assface. I just can't help it... so I mostly avoid tanking or avoid the people that can trigger that in me.
