XIV is a game, online, at the height of the internet era. It's going to have assholes in it. You were just lucky enough to had avoided them for so long, OP.
I agree, blaming "WoW refugees" for all the bad apples is feeling like a bad meme now. I mean that both in the internet definition and the real/metal gear definition.

Look at the df thread, its existed since 2015. XIV's community wasn't some super happy hippie community "until the WoW refugees attacked"--by and large it hasn't changed much at all.

People are people. It sucks, and we all hate it, but this is the box we're stuck in.
