The community discussion in mmo's has always been predicated on comparing current connections in the community and how they're made to previous iterations. It's going to naturally follow that people draw direct comparisons to older mmos and their methods. When I called upon UO, EQ, Runescape and the lack of moderation in chat, I'm specifically referring to how players are forced to talk to each other. In example, early on you might not know where to begin your exploration into the world or leveling so you consult the local chat and you quickly meet a broad manner of people whereas FFXIV's chat only provides saccharin helpful responses; I miss the guy who used to get away with "your mom's house" and general being unhelpful.Personally I've been kicked from the NoviNet for telling people to do all the side quests and that's a damned shameful blight upon the community when you can get kicked for something so harmless.
