So which is it? Are we actually a stellar super-nice community that can be trusted with information like this, or do we only appear nice because of strict behavioral censoring and anti-criticism policies?
It's both, to be honest. There are two sides of the spectrum and funny enough FFXIV excels at both sides of that very spectrum.

Some of the genuinely nicest random people I've ever met have come from this game. There have been joyous memories created of people I've only partied with once.

And I've also met some of the ignorant, toxic, asses possible in this very same game, in a completely different and unrelated instance. Some that makes me seethe and need to step away from the game to calm my nerves.

The community is great and also have the largest thorns on the rose bud that I've ever seen. Quite the interesting juxtaposition.
