I dunno why people base views on entire communities on individual negative experiences.
No, not quite literally every single person in FFXIV is open and friendly but if you compare it to other games it's fairly commonly understood and accepted that FFXIV is more open and friendly.
There's a lot of unwritten rules like waiting for people to finish a cutscene that sorta hint at this too, yesterday night I had to rush to tomestone cap since I had neglected it last week and it was five in the morning and I dunno why but both in the Expert dungeons and the trial I did for the last cap had people in every party who were doing it for the first time and watched the cutscenes.
Five in the morning or not we still waited.
Do you think you'd see this in most other games?

It's toxic negativity incarnate lol.

I don't think it's toxic at all to report someone who's blatantly being an asshole.
When you don't and you just accept it is when you get garbage MOBA and FPS game situations which are downright unplayable.

I play Mount and Blade too and I can't even login to a server without people having VERY heated arguments and '' debates '' about Jews, Muslims, black people ( usually referred to with the slur ), politics, weirdly racially charged history etc.
Every, single, time.
EVERY server.

Expecting a base level of respect and just decent behaviour from people isn't that much to ask for, I am not saying I am perfect and that you should get perma-banned for something really tame.
But I think reporting is fine and if it becomes a common occurance that the GM's keep seeing your name then perhaps there is an actual problem there that needs to be solved.
