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

I wouldn't be able to say, I don't hang out on WoW forum and don't play the game enough to tell.

Sounds like you hang out there and play the game enough to say it is or are just you just speculating?

I used to play the game until January of this year, actually, but I still browse the forum from time to time around news announcements time to gauge community reception, so I see the same kinds of discussions just like here, just the topics are different.

So saying that people here are being passive aggressive doesn't sound true at all when it's not unique to FFXIV. And that's even assuming we're defining the term the same way.

"how dare you criticize our lord and savior yosheep"

People can criticize and people can also defend.
