The most toxic communities I know of are the Genshin community, Payday 2, FFXIV and source games communities in general.

      Told someone I played rust and they asked if I was racist or suicidal because those are apparently the qualifiers.

      It really does bring the worst out of humanity, but at the same time I’ve met and known people for years who were my neighbors or even rivals

        Same people I game with today I meet on rust. Only a couple of us still play as we are all older now and have real jobs but great friends.

      Was looking for this lol.

      I bought a Rust ages ago, back when the development basically had it turning into a new game every year. Maybe I just got lucky back then, but never had a toxic interaction.

      Cut to last year, when a group of guild members went to Rust so I redownloaded it after 5 years. Most of us only lasted a few hours and we tried half a dozen servers lol.

        Yes, it’s crazy to me that people would think another game is more toxic because in rust most servers (I’m talking main/ official servers) are really popular for at least half a week being Thursday wipes and Monday, if you build next to toxic you deal with them that whole wipe and then monthly servers same thing. It’s not one match and done with them I’m talking days and hours of just straight toxic gameplay.

          Those people just have not had the misfortune of playing Rust.

            Yes, I say all that with love though I have some of my best gaming memories on rust.
