Unbelievable Rudeness!

[Vahlnir]

I would quite freely bet a lot of gil that at least half the playerbase has felt like not playing due to rudeness at some point.

I have had those days where rude behavior sorta ruined the game for me enough that I had to step away for a couple hours or even until the next day, but there's usually other things at play such as illness, a lack of patience to begin with or even just having a bad day all around. So yeah, it's definitely a thing, but I don't think it can necessarily be blamed on the bad behavior of players exclusively sometimes. Even when such factors aren't a thing, it has to take A LOT for that to happen, and that itself tends to be the result of multiple instances of encountering jerks. I'm speaking largely for myself but I would doubt that I'm the only one. I will admit though, a lack of player intelligence is what gets me more often than bad behavior. lol
