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

What about those who think this community is nice enough?

this might come as a surprise, but I do think it's nice enough in a sense, as I think it's not a bad one but it could really use a little bit less handholding/coddling

If the community is super toxic, you wouldn't need a special place to collect bad experiences. It will just be the norm of what people expect.

lol, lmao even
you know why they had to make that place? because everything in that sub got - and would get - downvoted to oblivion and further by the 'nice' community
ffxiv is filled with YPYT drivel, filled with people enabling 0 dps healers in high lvl content, filled with players that go at your throat if you insist that one should learn their class a bit, ones that attack you for 'ruining players fun' by wall-to-walling or asking the tank/dps to use their combo and not only an uncombo'd finisher etc
of course people will make a subreddit where they can talk about their bad experiences if talking about it on the mainsub would get you shunned/attacked/harassed/downvoted

Because they're part of the community?? They're ffxiv players who are active in ffxiv platforms. Everyone has equal parts in representing the community.

Using you logic, no community is toxic because they can just say "no no, that person break the TOS/toxic, they're not with us". Pretty convenient I'd say.

Yes, it is pretty convenient. That's why the ToS matters for the community. It's what helps to protect the community from bad actors, though not perfectly, still better than not having it.

Well, that's my point. People have disagreements (and that's fine for a community), and that's why the complaints of one subreddit is not as universal as some might think.

your point would have merit if people could freely express their experiences and frustrations without being attacked by rabid horde of cultists that's the mainsub
never said the community was super toxic, anyway

So you want places where people just agree with you?

no? how do you get that from my posts?

Then it doesn't matter if people respond negatively as long as the responses don't break Reddit's rule. As long as you don't break Reddit's rule yourself, then there's no reason to run away to a different sub.

Or if Reddit is not suitable, then head to the official forum if you haven't been banned.
