The bully mentality comes from the FORCED to repeat the same damn Dungeon over and over and over and over and over to get your weekly cap of myth

I actually just posted a blog post about this. The game does not, at all, force anyone to reach their weekly Myth cap. If you want to, there's nothing wrong with that, but if you're doing it and not having fun, then it's time to rethink your play style. Like many other MMO's that get the "G" word thrown at them, this game is only as much of a grind as you make it.

OT: Most of the players I encounter aren't outright rude, but then majority of players are also pretty unhelpful and self-focused, which is a problem in itself.

This is a very good point and perhaps stems from the same issue. I've seen several instances (especially in CM) where new players are never advised on how to deal with a boss, approach a set of mobs, use a specific function (such as cannons), or simply left behind to fend for themselves. Lack of aid and a self-entitled mentality seem to also be more likely than rude players.

I think I'll add this point to the OP, if you don't mind.
