Its like implication of saying "if you have doubt about this community then why are you here?" But every legacy players would defend their community because they had been here  longer than anyone else. But everyone had previous experience with previous players and other games regarding the communities. It is true that FFXIV is totally different from Tera, WoW, and possibly FFXI. But is it really any different?  Also most FFXIV players from FFXI and there has been severe players that gave hard time to newcomers.
Telling someone to do their homework is just provoking players. Just saying.
How do you figure that to be true? I can't believe I'm saying this - Joining any community is like buying a car. Are you going to put your money down before you know what you're getting? I just finished making several points stating why this community is so open to new players. Yes, different MMOs offer up different communities because each MMO has a variable difference in how their environment promotes role playing.
And what type of players am I provoking by telling someone to educate themselves on the community they're about to enter when doing so benefits their transition into the community anyway?
Just saying.
