The community is only nice to you until you go against the mainstream opinion or God forbids, be disappointed with the devs. It's more obvious in community outside the game (reddit, Twitter, etc). But I've also encountered rude players that can't take any criticism against them or the game, at all, when playing. And gods, the amount of passive-aggressiveness is way off the chart.

If I were to use example, I would say this community as a whole is like Gridania. Cheerful and peaceful on the surface, but beneath it not so much.
