I think in the case of ANY MMO, as time passes, many lasting friendships are formed, but on the flip-side, people discover players that they can't stand. I wouldn't say that I think this makes things more toxic, people just sort of learn who those are that they don't want to affiliate with. My suggestion here, is to do just that: avoid those you find you just CANNOT be friendly with. Otherwise, try and talk to them about things you might have heard, CALMLY! It could be that your issue is all just a misunderstanding at the core. It's also good to try and avoid believing everything you hear about those in the community. Take rumors with a grain of salt and form your own opinions of the people you interact with. All we can try and do it be fair, right?
