i dunno, i played a bit of both and it seems like ff14 is a bit too friendly while being a bit lazy sometimes
any kind of criticism, no matter how valid is snuffed out because the devs don’t “deserve” it, you can’t talk about how someone is performing in game or you can get banned. seriously, if you notice a dps ignoring most of his skills and doing no damage, you can be reported for being “toxic” and get sent to player jail
not to mention the fact that the players of ff14 are constantly saying how great the community is, but if you bring up how mentors don’t teach new players, or how the party finder is filled with weird “join my e brothel” parties, or any thing really, you get a passive aggessive response, and the passive aggression is only getting worse because of how draconic the rules are about player communication, since any direct insult, or anything that can be perceived as such gets you yeeted to in game jail and a quick break from the game
tl;dr: ff14 community isn’t as good as people say it is
