What happened to players?

[Jyoeru]

I don't think it's a problem with game mechanics or specific games per se.
I think it's a general problem with kids growing up without any kind of respect to others on the internet (or in general). You don't see them, you won't meet them, they won't know who you are so why be nice and respectful to them, right?
That sounds super stupid now but I think there is a lot of education needed to actually teach internet manners (so retarded to have to write this..) but people have to realize that there are other human beings on the other side of the screen and they deserver respect as well.

Not to mention it's the parents responsibility to teach their kids to respect others..something that is really lacking nowadays.

Yet you sling the word "retarded" around like drinks at a bar. Just saying.

English is not my native language. I guess it's considered not political correct to use that term? If so, I apologize.
Glad my comment made it possible for you to appear witty and funny though

You speak it well enough that I had no way of knowing, nor will I give you kudos for pointing this out. However, in that regard, you're correct, our penchant for using derogatory words and thinking them harmless is very strong to the point that we rarely realize our lingo was once and can still be highly offensive. I was pointing out the irony in your post to illustrate that; not to attack you. So much is lost in textual translation.

And I am a witty and funny guy. Sorry if you thought my attempt to be hyperbolic in speech (to highlight irony) was an attack and not light-hearted sarcasm. I will conclude with an emote to demonstrate warmth and regards.
