Why do people blame WoW for the rude players? They existed and acted like this before playing the game, it didn't magically change them. Having to deal with these people is just a consequence of the genre getting noticed and gaining popularity over the years. I also find it silly people claim the genre is getting "dumbed down". It really is quite simple, the games have been made to be less time consuming, because face it, how many people can dedicate the kind of time EQ1 required to gaming nowadays? Oh, they should just not play MMO's then, right? Wrong, just because MMO's started out as huge time sinks, doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Time consuming doesn't make things any more difficult, just tedious. Well I seem to have gone off on a rant. Ah well, I hope you all have a great day, don't let the rude ones get to you.
