This has to do with the very toxic environment SOME raiders have set up in the early days (uproar because allagan weapons were only i90 like relic, uproar because i90 gear was available for "scrubs" not doing coil, etc etc...)

Then, every now and then, some people on either side (vitriolic non raiders or vitriolic raiders) throw some oil on the fire and the rage starts again.

Want examples ? Look at the thread I made about coil story mode. You can clearly see bad behaviors on either side or the stick.
