To answer the title question:
From my experience, the general community hasn't changed too much.Â
The endgame community has been tense, now that more endgame content has been introduced. Everyone's racing to get content done ASAP, myself included. There's also growing frustration among the raiders who have yet to beat Titan Extreme. But I assume once the they get their fix of progression (and loot), the whole "l33tilvl9999exp'edpplzonry" attitude will start to drop like it did with 2.0's content.
Someone brought up a great point about the frequent DF griefing and a few of Balmung's FC's have been noted for doing it. The one I remember being talked about is an endgame/social FC (won't namedrop). On that note: if said FC leaders/officers/member are reading this post, reign in your trolls. (If you need me to be more blunt, stop being asshats in CT.)
So if you interact primarily with raiders or have been griefed/harshly criticized by raiders, I'd understand why you think the community has become more toxic. But it should die down in a month or so.
The RPing community is much the same. We still get trolled once in awhile and will continue to get trolled. Let it roll off your shoulders and keep doing what you're doing.
