WoW and idiots seem to stick out like sore thumbs more than any other MMO I've really poked at (aside from freebies), mainly because it's so popular and accessible (easy)... But I <i>definitely</i> ran into the same issues on FFXI the past few years, and LOTRO is creeping up with the same issues (slow, but surely). I've also found it's a percentage of those that are nastier in PuGs than anything else because they hide behind anonymity, paired with desire of just getting through a grind quickly, and the thought they'll never see the other four people again, so it "doesn't matter" how they behave... But get them in their guild setting and people they know, they're generally pretty nice. Very few that are just pricks and assholes all around no matter who you are. I'm kind of stuck on Draka... after shelling out as much money as I did just to transfer and faction change five characters (husband included)... the idea of rolling another character, even an alt... overwhelms me, as I have to justify the expense (which means play them). Plus, after healing my way through two sets of T9, my husband's armor, and three guildies... I respec'd to feral the other day and I now tank... I'm at the point I prefer to let full parties die than cast a single rejuvination :p It’s speculative I think.

All anyone talks about is gear score, who fails, “l2p” and end game. I wonder how many of the 10 million actually play to enjoy the game or get involved in the social side of it. If you ever find yourself on Stormrage(US) I know a tank who can use a healer :) Is it me or are there more idiots in WOW these days?
