This is a forum conjured rivalry, not a real one.
Verbal backlash isn't as common as the forums make it seem, but it does happen. I've been hit by the "U dont pay my sub" and the "Whatev just play the game" from people performing poorly. I do try to be polite when I make suggestions or ask for things from other players, but the most common response is silence and no change in play.

The silent players don't stick out in my memory as vividly as the willfully bad players do - not to say that they aren't playing poorly and refusing to learn as well, but they're not talking about it.
