Threads like this remind ne that the XIV community dislikes the *potential* of aggression so much that they go full horseshoe and enshrine passive-aggression as some sort of moral imperative. They don't call you out for bad damage numbers on JP servers, nor do they often try to turn a bad pull into a teaching moment. They add you to the passive-aggressive 2ch blacklist and silently kick you going forward.

FF14 has a really pleasant community...on the surface. The "you don't pay my sub!" crowd is evidence that it's not exactly better. They're just cattier about conflict. The mere fact that the community actively hides from basic information like damage output and pretends that even knowing it is "cheating" speaks for itself.

Very often being sympathetic is all that it takes, players who do that are very rare.
