I get annoyed that everything is a considered a community now and if there are a few a holes out of thousands of people it’s “toxic”
ESO has a playerbase that is, overall, very helpful and friendly. But just like any other game/activity/sport, etc. with thousands of people participating, there will be people with different viewpoints and playstyles.
I would consider forum users a “community” more so than all of the ESO playerbase, and this community is not toxic.

I mean, I get it, I have seen players defend the games they love with the same method (attack other games and tryna make this game looks good), but I have never seen a community use the same method again and again so many times like ESO community before. And some of them (tbh I would say lots of them) are being really toxic toward to other mmos for no reasons.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding, but how is telling you to not compare this game with other games "toxic" in terms of this game's community. I would have no problem with someone telling you to stop such a comparison. If you like that other game so much, go play it. It's not about being "toxic" to other mmos, it's about recognising that this game is not that game, and so the comparison and accompanied whinge is rather pointless. If you like x game so much better, why spend your time here complaining instead of playing the game you obviously prefer?

It can be toxic just like any other game, I can tell you for sure that not a single day has gone by where I haven't read something so unbelievably racist or just as bad and other completely unhelpful things, especially see this in Cyrodiil. I Pretty much completely ignore the zone chat as a result.
Having said that, also just like any other game it has a lot of helpful people as others have mentioned and it can be a lot of fun because of that, most games that I continue to play for years are because of the people i play them with.

I like PC NA Cyrodiil chat. When you say goodnight, you get like 30 gnights back. Plus it can be hilarious in a silly way.
This, now it changes for old games, Skyrim got loads of flack during preview and at the start.Shadyboss420 wrote: »I hear lots of complaints of people saying this game has a toxic community and aside from pve elitist (that ive rarely encountered ) and competitive pvpers ive never known this game to have anything but a friendly helpful community atleast on ps4. what are your opinions ?
People on forums tend to do that. Go to every games forum and its still the same trashtalk. Like how the game is the most toxic, how devs lazy and incapable, how its no skill, how devs are illuminati... Gets boring after a while.
