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

Community reviews are like steam reviews, no?

The more positive reviews you have, the more "positively rated" you are.

People have, on average, more positive interactions with the community than negative, so it is seen positively.

That's doesn't mean there aren't "bad reviews" where people had bad interactions. It just means there are fewer instances.


In 10 years of playing, I can probably count on one hand the times where I had truly terrible experiences, and then some meh experiences are more numerous. Rest tend to be positive.

Some of my longest lived friendships come from people I've met in XIV.
