New Player; Community toxicity issues
Okay, so I will start off that I have played other MMO’s in the past and have seen other communities turn into very negative spaces. I won’t make them but I’m sure you can guess which ones.
With Evercold coming out, I wanted to jump in and try FFXIV again. I got to Shadowbringers before and life happened so I had to stop; I come back after so long I decided to start over since I couldn’t remember much of the smaller details of sections.
From what I remember, the sentiment that FF has a very welcoming community was something I was basically yearning for at this point. But has something changed? Because there were so many moments that were player interactions that made me want to stop playing. Of course that’s a me and my own situation, most things are subjective. But the amount of people who don’t wait for cutscenes, try to pull your character from using their LB, or are rude in alliance raids in the messenger blew my mind. So I quit. Again.
Is this common? I guess I’m just surprised, I know there’s going to be this kind of thing in any online game, but for some reason I was under the impression that this community was not this way I particular (not completely obviously). Or at least enough to be put off wanting to continue.
Apologies for the more negative post, just genuinely wanted to see how others experience was. Hopefully better than mine.
