The most toxic communities I know of are the Genshin community, Payday 2, FFXIV and source games communities in general.

As a FFXIV player, your experience or understanding of the game sounds like an outlier... I've played for 2+ years, it's the most positive, welcoming and lively community I've ever come across!

    Totally agree. I’ve been in some dailies where we keep wiping over and over due to new player and usually everyone is super understanding and gives pointers and help. I’ve rarely had a toxic pug in FFXIV. One one of the reasons each expansion brings me back.

    Agree. I've been playing the game for the last year and am now almost at the end of the MSQ and I've basically encountered zero toxic people and plenty of people that went out of their way to be helpful. If anything, a few BLM players were trying a bit too much to help pointing out issues with my BLM rotation, which isn't helpful when you're still below LVL 50 and getting new spells every other level. Haven't seen anything like that since switching to RDM, so it may just be a BLM thing.
