The FFXIV Community

[Tigercub]

Sadly, this is irrelevant. The forum community is the most Visible display of the players of the game. While most people will never actual read this page, any Serious gamer who looks in to games before he tries them will have his first experience be the opinions seen here. A lot of people who refuse the even try an MMO typically do so because of what they hear about the people who play.

I'm an avid believer in this because I tend to do it myself. It's not a super accurate assumption to make but I never found it to be too far off. Word gets around quickly about the good and the bad of MMO communities.
