So true. Something along the line that the person is intelligent, but people are ignorant.

That's the single greatest problem in EVERY online game.

Scared little kids all of a sudden turn into huge, ignorant, bold racists over the internet. Its amazing.

Lol, so true! ^^

Disagree. Coh has those things and very very few "dickwads". Games attract types of people based on premis and design. If you make your game anti-social by making it too solo or ganker friendly, or of a negative tilt, you attract anti-social people that, via anonymity, feel free to express their inner dickwad. If you make your game team friendly and cooperative, and of a more altruistic tilt, you get more nice, well adjusted, helpful people.

It's bizarre since I find CoH really really boring so you'd think people would be fraustrated by the bland grind but instead they turn polite? :o Then when presented with high quality dynamic content they decide to nerd-rage of the colour of a pair of gloves.

So this has nothing to do with the idiots in the MMORPG industry making crappy games and bad decisions? Right...

If you need examples there's a whole lot of em over at SOE.  There's also the problem of inbreeding in the MMORPG industry.  The guys that worked on a crappy game are the same guys working on MMORPGS in development now. 

I'd say the biggest problem with MMORPG's aren't the players at all, its the lack of execution, bad management, and bad decisions that are destroying this industry.

And once again another poster assumes that since they find a game "boring" and "bland", it therefore follows that the rest of the world must also find said game boring.

Please try to understand.

We don't care!!!

And I have no idea what that last sentence means?

Well for me it just depends on the MMO. Some games you have a vast majority of the community that fits that profile while other games seem to have very few that fit the bill. "Those people" tend to play newer style MMOs (i.e. WoW clones) as far as I've noticed so I stay away from them and stick with the old style MMOs (i.e. EQ clones).

Carebear easy game like WoW or Warhammer + ADD kids = horrible community
