^on my phone so quoting doesn't work well, but it's funny you say that cause I've had the exact opposite experience. Terrible things happened in other RP communities, WoW in particular, but I've had a blast in FFXIV.
But then I've also stopped worrying too much about, well, anything and just focus on enjoying myself as much as I can. One way or another, as I see it, I'm going to walk away with stories to tell.
Before this I was incredibly bitter and jaded, too. Now I feel really content just drifting around from event to event to random walk-up before falling back on my FC, who are good folks, too.
I think not worrying too much about my character's story too much, and, ironically, making her a bitter reflection of sorts, helped a lot. Taking things as they come has led to a lot of unexpected twists and I love it.
