How one offers advice plays an important role. "Lmao learn 2 tank [insert slur here]" is different from "Can you please get this mob off of me?"

On the other end, some people are just toxic jerks who don't want to be told how to play. It seems to differ by data center because on Aether- wew, there are some hot messes I get in DF over Primal.

Every community since ever has its stinkers. It's not a high crime, it's just the types of mentality that gets exposed with tens of thousands of people who get awfully stupid when they forget there's another person on the other end of their monitor. XIV has them in droves because it's T for Teen, meaning haughty high schoolers are getting home and being idiots online. Nothing new.
