FF14 has an amazing community!

Im kinda mixed on 14's community, there is some really nice people who are kind and very helpful , even some funny people I can joke with and make lasting friendships with.

But at the same time this game's community doesn't wanna handle conflict well at all, instead of solving it themselves like an adult they just think OMG I gotta report him or her they said something I don't like or there fc tag offends me.(lol even though they aren't even in that fc or have anything to do with that fc).

All in all it's a really great community but at the same time could be less kindergarten when it comes to conflict management.

Just the other day, someone was yelling in shout saying "LFG for guild that will have thick skin" complaining about how he got kicked from a FC for using slurs like the N word and many others. He was shot down by everyone in the community the very instant he said that. I found out he came from WoW, he was level 21. Yes, many can't handle conflict but toxic conflict is a big no.

There's negatives to it and I've noticed an uptick in it lately.
But it's still miles ahead of basically any other games I've played imo.

Considering the levels of toxicity on the internet and in other games FFXIV is incredibly calm.

The reality is that there is no solving things when people are being toxic, no one ever gives ground online or admits to being wrong.
Peoples egos are magnified by a billion on the internet.
Are you really going to sit here and pretend like conflict solving is an actual thing on the interwebs?

I really don't see this at all when it's in good faith.
Only time I see people getting upset about it is when it's clearly in bad faith and people who haven't played the game or are just hating on it on purpose.

People here and on the reddit criticize the game all the time, the difference is where it's coming from.
If someone isn't even giving the game a chance at all and/ or are just talking out their ass then I think calling them out on that is justified.

• You can actually report rude behaviour.

You can do this in WoW, too. The difference in WoW is that they only rarely ever act on those reports.

Thank you My Heroes ^^ FF14 is such a fun game

[Warpstone]

The community here is much nicer than WoW's. I even had a complete stranger come up to me and give me gil and ask if I needed anything else or help with anything. Was a great experience.

Welcome, glad you've been having fun, enjoying the people AND the game.

Last week I got told to kill myself in a Lords of Verminion match of all things. The dude is still in-game despite being reported.

That being said, the community here is pretty great overall.

Over a LoV match though??
