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

[Solowing]

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?





Have you seen the forum?
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.

Here the funny part, you praise the game and the community, oh yea people wanna jump on and agree! But when someone says they dont have the best experience, players will jump in to try to invalidate someones experience....So only my good encounters count at all?

We define toxic positivity as the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations. The process of toxic positivity results in the denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience.

"You experience cant be bad, because the community is good!"
