    Here are some reasons for the community being the way it is.

    - FFXIV is alot faster paced than FFXI, so it attracted WoW players and other MMO hoppers that wanted to try out something new. MMO Hoppers do not have a community, because in essence they will just leave when they are not longer interested in the game.
    - Duty Finder
    - It's the internet
    - You play on an NA server.

    FFXI Players in general are used to a tighter community and since this game attracted the "Gamers" then this is the majority of the answer. "Gamers" play and sift through multiple games and only truly care about the gameplay. These are the same people who skip all the cutscenes, care nothing of the community within the game, they pretty much just don't care.

    Hopefully after free subs run out, and a maximum of 2-3 months, we'll see many of these toxic players drop away, never to return again. Here's hoping and cheers to all you people that actually care about founding a decent community.

    I had such a nice experience today with my FC. I decided finally, that I would join the teamspeak they had going on. Now, at first it was nice. Then a FC member logged in and started a conversation, but he ended up saying he wanted to ask a player to join him in a run but because he was African american he didn't want to ask him because, apparently, African american people are all ignorant. He also said he doesn't want to have a conversation or even talk with anyone who "had more than 3% black in them."

    Now from this point on I was a bit on edge about my FC, but I stayed for awhile longer thinking maybe he was joking. But then another member ended up saying the word "nigger". Something annoyed him and he called it a "nigger."This is when I got suspicious and uncomfortable because I myself, am African american. So, like any normal person, I said my goodbyes and left the FC.

    Anywho, I'm not angry at the situation or anyone personally, I just feel like this a sad truth in the community.

    It is for this reason I will not join a free company that requires any type of voice communications. A lot of FC's say it is for end game, but when I was in FFXI my end game guild had no communication besides linkshell chat and we did just fine. I also do not want some teen (or an old man acting as such) screaming obscenities into his mic because he thinks someone should be playing their job a different way than they play it.

    Until WoW I never really saw any bigots in MMOs but now they are everywhere. My FC had to kick someone out the other day for a racist joke. I am not of any race that is likely to get attacked but I still can't stand when others are... it is mostly because I know that anyone saying those things is a total idiot and a waste of perfectly good oxygen.

    I honestly cant wait for the jerks to go back to GW2 and WoW and Tera. Right now this game is over saturated with rude trolls and idiots who cry all day on the forums that this game has "Nothing to do endgame" when they have not even got their full DL or Relic weapon or even friking SEEN the entrance to Coil of Bahamut.

    People need to take a chill pill.

    Its a deep seeded issue that permeates online game communities, but it is essentially born from the outside. We live in a society where everyone is told they are "special" and where realising your shortcomings is only something for the few. We all have shortcomings, and in their humility, ones who realise their imperfections learn to respect others.

    In short - people are becoming dumber and online games are becoming more like a single-player experiences with online aspects, further fueling this issue. However, its unfortunate to say that you are part of the problem, because complaining on a forum only creates animosity. I'm really not sure what you were trying to achieve here.
