What happened to players?

[ArcheustheWise]

All types of players existed before WoW did. *snip*

Then consider yourself lucky or not using the df enough lol. In any case he is right it got worse because of wow. (not to blame all the players there, some were nice) but the general culture and it widening the doors for everyone to come enjoy mmos is what did it.

Ill make an example. EQ1. People would train mobs to end zones and shout out about it so that people wouldnt get caught up in a line of death. Sure you had your bad grapes, but that was few and far in between, because if you were an ass, people didnt want to party with you. Try and do stuff like THAT now today and people would use it to grief you to make you get out of "their" zone.

So what happened? Wow did. It changed the mentality of mmos/players (again noting not ALL) in general and now all of a sudden its some kind of "standard".
