Hunts bring down this game.

[Acesfool]

This is a completely normal pattern for hunts. It always happens at the major patch releases.

Yes, there is always an increase around patch time. I've never seen it get this crazy. But there has never been DC travel before either.

Their behavior has nothing to do with what other games someone plays. FFXIV players can be just as rude and toxic. It's a person problem, not a game or community problem.

WoW breeds and encourages toxic attitudes. Although every game has its toxic players, when I see that "Me me me" attitude I'll bet dollars to donuts it's someone who recently came from WoW.

Their attendance will start dying off in another couple of weeks and trains will get back to the 60 or so that you're used to seeing

I certainly hope so.
