While being a jerk to a newbie for being new is one of my pet peeves and I will do everything in my power to punish those personally who do it. The amount of players who complain about minor things is getting a bit ridiculous.

If you want to see toxic communities. Go play a Free to Play game where you have to game with the riffraff. In those games, racist slurs and sexual insults are normal speech since you can't ban thousands of players a day. Where harassment goes unpunished because the number of violations is too much to moderate. By comparison you won't see this in FFXIV because no one is going to buy the game and a first month sub just to say a bad word. Or risk months of work (and sub fees). But in a F2P game, its as simple as making another fake email addy.

We literally do NOT need a new thread every time someone says something mean to someone else. Get your thick hide on people. You're all adults and adolescents, harsh words and attitudes are something you have to deal with in life.
