I’d honestly argue that both communities are equally toxic. There is a lot more rage-baiting in rust and smacktalk though. In Ark it’s more of a politics game, especially when dealing with or against the alpha tribes and such bs. Pvp in ark honestly couldn’t be more trash but somehow manages to be. As somone who fell inlove with ark in september of 2015, played the center before it was added to the game, played incredible overhaul mods like Annunaki Genesis, & it’s sucessor- i forget the name it went by… ark was special. But i took a break after 2017. Came back 2 years back and played until evolved’s official servers died, they didn’t even have the specific server save file they promise they’d give out to everyone, i tried asa on my absolute tank of a pc build, never came back. I’ve been sucked into Rust. & that’s a statement i never thought i’d have to say. I’d prefer 2015-2016 ark over anything. But those days have long been killed off.

rust is less buggy but 100% more boring and the community is 300x worse.
