A good number of my friends play Final Fantasy XVI, and something that surprised the heck out of me is how friendly the community is. The moderation team of the game is quite active in muting problem players, and the community seems to have come to the consensus that acting like a toxic WoW player is frowned upon. They still run into them occasionally, but they're outnumbered.
I am hopeful that, when I'm old, I can be in the nursing home raiding ZG like it's 2005 again!
I think Classic WoW was sort of like "New Coke" in that it wasn't at all the game as I remembered it. It was more the "Private Server" version, where everyone min/maxed the fun right out the door... and (because I'm old now) I didn't understand what all the "GOAT Chads" were saying. And various Discords were all just alt-right Trump Frog memes and I lost interest in that fast. There's like a generational lingo that I just wasn't part of.
