The few front lines I have done are one of the only places where I have seen people call out others so negatively and be super toxic. Im really glad you at least can't see the names of enemy team mates.
Uh, what? This is such a narrow-minded view of things. Online games have toxic communities not because they're competitive, but because people are under an online persona and in turn feel more comfortable being rude. FFXIV has a good share of toxic people, but of course the moderation in this game is better therefore you see less of it being written out.

Some of the deepest bonds I've _ever_ seen in games were made in competitive games (like E.V.E online for example). Meanwhile in FFXIV you never know when someone is going to throw a fit and be passive-aggressive for petty stuff.

Also... Personally, I've never seen people being toxic in frontlines - at all, and frontlines are not even taken seriously by like at least half of the people that queue for it anyway.

Basically. I never did extremes I'm not interested in - I don't know why the FFXIV community feels that they NEED to do everything and that it has to be as fast as possible. I swear I saw people that literally did not even touch any battle-content besides msq spending their whole day doing fates for relic and thanking that "at least I can finish it in one day". Go figure.
