When I was new to that game somewhere around early to mid of last year. When I did my first dungeon in that game, I know tanking basics because I have played a tank before in WoW but I was kinda nervous as the game was still new to me. Somewhere in the middle of the run, I asked “am I going the right way?” someone responded that I’m in the right direction and I was doing well and I was like well thats something that I’m not very used to where as like receiving sh*t from someone because I wanted to pull a mob because most of the time it gets pulled anyway in WoW.
Thats the only story that i have in my memory because I do sometimes have a… goldfish memory but even if its not directly towards me I have not seen someone berate another person for their dps or told others are bad in groups I have been in.
The only thing I will come to an agreement is that the FFXIV community has this toxic positivity about their game, say anything remotely negative about their game and they will get overly defensive like their life depends on it and some other weird stuff like the billboard thing.
