it's just the internet community in america in general

people are just getting progressively more vile and nasty by the day.
back in the everquest and ffxi days you could screw up encounters that actually cost a lot of resources to start and people would be patient and teach you until you got it
even in the early days of WoW you could make groups of total strangers and get stuff done

nowadays you have stuff like the guy in tera that just powers to max level in a couple days then spends the next month in the lowest level zone he can kill people in one shotting and harassing people with the intention of trying to make them quit the game and can't even understand how that might be seen as poor behavior
or in ffxiv you need to know every encounter before you even try it for the first time or you get blacklisted by entire free companies for not doing it perfectly

every safe zone is littered with people in crafting pose because logging in is too much to ask for. Funny thing is if we didn't have such a huge population of people doing that we would have no queue instead of an extremely short queue

if you actually do fates with the intention of completing them you get blacklisted by the giant hordes of people trying to exploit the quick spawning mobs for fast exp

and everyone sings the "leave me alone it doesn't effect you" song but once you do something they don't like they completely 180 on that stance
