Anyone have any reason for this phenomenon here? In some of those other games general chat was often abusive, a lot of griefing, kill stealing, people would train mobs on you to keep you from gathering, public shaming over performance. I fave seen so little of that here. i think the mechanics help prevent much of that. The bonuses for grouping with first timers is great. Is the MMO community starting to evolve? or does this game just attract a more mature player because it requires a subscription and is not World of Warcraft? Whatever the reason I am incredibly happy I decided to play and I must credit the now shut down site of Massively for giving me the idea to try. They wrote a ton of very nice things about FFXIV and I am happy to say they were right about every single one of them. I hope they relaunch as MassivelyOP soon.
