I rather have what we have now than something like League of Legemds level of toxicity. People talking behind other's back and stuff do happen alot in ff14, but that's also true in games that have any sort of social aspect. I used to play mmorpg without much policing (not WoW) and it was so much worse. My parents were disapearing on daily basis and people were being toxic to each other behind other's back anyway.

I do agree that FFXIV playerbase can be toxic in its own way, but I say it really is not the worst. I rather have someone talk behind my back and kick me off the fc (personal experience) than have someone harass me, with their whole guild, the whole week because of some dumb argument we had.
