I don't like FFXIV's community

If Crystal DC is that bad, then no wonder nobody goes to it.

I dont think its any worse than any other server out there personally. see these threads occasionally, and I get it, some people have a horrible experience. but I have to wonder how that is. never run into anything like this, never been told to kill myself, been yelled at or abused. have to admit I generally avoid Limsa, but, when I first started I played on a potato computer and it didnt handle crowds well, just kept that habit going.

sorry to hear the OP has had over a decade of horrible experiences in game... hope the next one is better for you.

crystal dc is where all the erpers and snowflakes go. it is literally the festering hole of the NA servers.

I've experienced more crap on Aether than I've experienced on Crystal despite not playing on Aether as often.

And part of why I left Primal (where I was when I first started playing) because of the toxicity I had been encountering there.

Crystal is fine.

The problem isn't the data center or even the game. The problem is a tiny percentage of people who choose to be hostile over stupid stuff. But you'll find those people in any online multiplayer game and most of those communities are far worse than this one.

I can wish the OP luck but if he's that sensitive to this community he might as well give up online gaming.

You can say this all you want, but I've been on Balmung since ARR released and could count incidents of toxicity on one hand. Content is usually a bunch of people saying hello, cracking jokes, and being silly. Even when a lot of wipes happen, people usually are supportive and encouraging("we'll get it this time friends!").

I don't believe for a second that someone is experiencing rampant toxicity on this data center as I've got literally thousands of dungeons, trials, raids, etc under my belt here and simply don't see it. And new folks are always commenting how nice the community is in the game.

One person having a few bad experiences over the course of 9 years? I'd buy that. Constant and unrelenting toxicity though? No way.

And I love it. Best choice ever moving onto Balmung. It's been way more social than any other server by leaps and bounds.

It isn't that bad. I have probably only had encounters with 5 toxic people in 4 years on Crystal.

Name a community that isn't filled with a-holes in some capacity. Literally impossible to do.

High School, Church, place of employment, there is always the same type of people that make any community terrible by association.

10 years is a long time to not grow completely desensitized to the garbage people of this community so I'm going to take it something happened and OP is just lashing out at everyone, like Flanders did in that one episode of the Simpsons.
