"Everyone's so open and friendly" is a lie

[Sotaris]

Let me start with saying I've been playing this for 8 years and FFXI for 10 years before I took a break and moved over to ARR back in 2013, overall I've had mostly good experience with people even after the fact I've jumped between servers and FC's over the years until I found "home" and made my own FC, 3 years ago.

Now, to the topic. I partially agree with OP.



We keep hearing everyone in WoW is so toxic and unwelcome. I disagree with this sentiment, there is a big amount of bad apples though but that don't make up the whole community for that game.

When it comes to FF, we have a big amount of good apples and a good amount of passive aggressive gatekeepers and white knights, whom I believe is the type of players and defenders OP might be refering to.

In conclusion; yes FFXIV community is just as toxic as any community, we just hide in passive aggresiveness and ToS.

I am disgusted that you want an open forum to disrespect other people. The game is fine how it is.

Not surprised hearing this from you. "Everything is fine".
Is FFXIV one of the better MMORPGs on the market right now? Yes.
Does FFXIV have their own fair share of issues? Omg yes.
Is it a bad game? No.
