The difference between WoW and FF14

[Charisma]

Been playing the game for over a year an a half even called Asahi sas Brutus a c*** one time in Castrum Fluminis. Dunno where all these so called crybabies are...Maybe its different on an EU server. Pretty sure it's possible to run a trial or raid without effin' and blinding at people apart from Asahi tho that guy really is a 'see you next Tueday'

Yeah, i don't know about that as well, my tank mate i play with all the time is toxic af and goes to yell at people for messing up and he never even received a warning. Sometimes it gets so extreme that i tell him to leave them alone.

FFXIV appears quiet because the community is... well, rather insular. I assure you people are talking, but it's all "behind the curtain", so to speak. Linkshell chat, FC chat, /tells, and whatever other private channels people use. Conversation is happening, it just isn't all that common to see it happen out in public channel.

If you get upset about mean things some random stranger in an online game throws at you, how do you cope with actual life on a daily basis?

Well first of all, people can come on the internet and say whatever they want with little to no repercussions. I've never ever seen or heard
anyone say something straight up racist or homophobic or any other severely mean thing to or around me in real life.
They're scared so they come here and be mean.

Secondly, we are here to play a video game...not sit around and be bullied and have some random cuss you out into the next universe.
That's where they get a ban and hopefully see the error of their ways. We are still human and have feelings and should either be nice or don't say anything at all.
If you live somewhere where you get thrown out random insults and feel that's the norm then I actually feel bad for you and sorry that happens.
People can be so cruel.

There is a toxic side to XIV's community (Or rather, my server's community) I seem to have run afoul of...somehow.

Long story short, I've gotten kicked from two different FCs after people slandered me and made blatantly false claims of me saying hateful or derogatory things about the FC and/or its members, and on both occasions the "reputable" sources behind the claims were evidently so influential that literally nothing I said would get the FC leaders to reconsider, nor were they willing to even give me a chance to defend myself by offering specifics about when/where I was supposedly saying those things or who told them about it.

It's left me feeling rather distraught since I feel like there's someone just lurking in the background waiting for chances to drag me down and make me miserable (And rather coincidentally, the second incident happened just a day after I had expressed joy over finally clearing ES4...).

That is pretty much FFXIV in a nutshell. I seen it REALLY bad on Balmung with a lot of the RP FC's where the leaders always want people to play along and be nice to each other. Don't you dare say that one thing that won't offend most but offends that one special snowflake in the company cause if they cause a storm oh boy the leadership will crack just to make sure they stay in the company and remind everyone that 'nothing should never ever be said to upset people cause we are just one happy family who plays the same game'
