This is actually quite normal. I don't mean just for the FF14 forums. All of this behavior is for every forum, every game, every comment section, across the entire internet, it's just human nature. The amount of community places online that are not like this is extremely few and far between. Every game forum I've been to and been a part of has been like this. I go on the Overwatch 2 forums a good amount since I like and play OW2 enough to want to do so. You should go there and see how bad it is for yourself. I haven't been on the FF14 forums long either, but from what I've seen these forums are for the most part like a walk in the park compared to OW.
