Not entirely sure if I just ran into a d-bag group but it killed my desire to RP so I created a new character on Gilgamesh.
This really sounds like an entirely isolated incident. I didn't touch 1.0 and I've played on Balmung actively since 2.0's launch. Not once has anyone told me this, nor have I seen anyone else saying they were told this. D: Sorry you had that happen!
Oh this was long ago, months before the NIN patch. I ended up making some friends on Gilgamesh namely Adolar Stone, but left the game for 720 some odd days, came back and my friends were no longer there and Gilgamesh turned into a more secluded RP scene(no open world RP that I could find) so I paid the transfer fee and moved to Balmung. Took me about 2 months of playing to make any friends but that was mainly cause I didn't put myself out there(was nervous) got more comfortable and found that I loved the community on Balmung, aside from a few "people".
For me it felt as if the 1.0 crowd that I ran into got drowned out during my time on Gilgamesh and while I'm not playing currently I'd advise the OP to keep trying and ignore that crowd should s/he come into contact with them....unless that's his/her type of crowd.
But I appreciate the concern none the less
