What is wrong with this community?

[Raxion]

So I'm farming CM with a friend to help him finish getting his Darklight. I get into a group with a pull-happy tank that pulls the second boss and locks a couple people out. We wiped, then he starts trying to trash talk me (the other tank). Then AFKs when I talk back to him.

This is just one minor example of what running with random players has been like in this game. The online community has become nothing more than a cesspool of trash floating downhill to a sewage plant.

If this is the community I can expect to have to deal with, I'm not sure I'll stay. I just can't take being verbally assaulted in every other run for absolutely nothing.

I'm sorry a lot of people have to deal with people like this.
I know it's not a comfort but, they will be gone soon. Hopefully we'll get back what we're all missing, a real FF community.

A "FF community", if you mean "FFXI community", didn't magically appear. The game (FFXI and to a lesser extent FFXIV, although that was influenced by FFXI) shaped it. This game doesn't attempt to shape that community. Duty Finder is creating these monsters, like it does in other games. EDIT: Actually, FATEs are just as much to blame. Who learns manners brainlessly spamming AoEs?

true
the first ones to left the game would be the rushers
can't wait!

I also went to Japanese servers because of the trash community in NA servers. I rather play with polite Japanese players then rude NA players who waste my time trash talking to each other.

yes, i also prefer the Japanese
if you understand a little Japanese language, you'll notice that in every run, they'll start with "yoroshiku", almost every single one of them will say that
"yoroshiku" means please take care of me or some sort
while i'm joining a dungeon and didn't see anyone chatting, i know that i'm not with them

Yoroshiku is actually more like "Nice to meet you". Usually when you meet someone for the first time you'll say "Hajimemashite Yoshroshiku-onegaishimasu". Literalliy is something like "Meeting your for the first time please look favorable upon me, I'm begging you"

I would imagine you would end the run with something like "otsukare-sama deshita" or maybe just "otsukare" its like "thanks for the effort". You'll say it to your co-workers at the end of the day, or my mother in law says it to me after I've driven her all over town to buy things.. seems appropriate for the end of a run.

By real you mean the V1 community that forced a V2 because they didn't like V1. You heard it from them first folks FF14 is dead.

Bogus Alpha-male nonsense.

This fake alpha-male post right here is the reason most of you frat-boys are held in such contempt in this community. What the hell is "soft" about acting like you have some sense in an online game? If you tried talking crazy like you just did in any major city, you'd likely get your behind kicked from one end of the street to the other.

I'll say it again for the thinking-impaired cave-dwellers: You're playing a GAME! Act like you have some damn sense!

Is this a trend? You meet a few bad eggs, and you think the whole community is like that.

This is just one example. It seems to be getting worse on a daily basis. Out of the 7-8 runs I do a day, at least 4 of them are just outright toxic. The people I have run with have almost killed the game for me.

To be honest, yeah, a lot of the people doing end game stuff (darklights, relics, primals, etc.) are like that at the moment. I'm not sure where they came from or why they what they do. The only things I can say is I hope it gets better for you and that me, personally, I'm putting off on doing end game stuff until things settle down a bit and most of these people have their end game stuff done. Also, when I can do it with my ls mates.
