Anonymity will do that to anyone ... anywhere... anytime.
Being among strangers in an environment where you cannot be prosecuted for your actions, will cause you to develop and portray your own alter ego. Some say your alter ego is not the real person you are, since you show no signs of it when met in person, however your alter ego is the TRUE you that you would reflect if nobody watches over you.
Your morals dictate your actions when nobody is around to find out. Character dictates your actions despite people being around.
Learn to ignore them? It's really not that hard.
Wait... what?
It is true..even more so in wow..I recently started playing world of kung fu, i haven't had 1 issue, everyone is more than willing to help out where they can. Watching my cousin play wow is quite disturbing, as most of the players he plays with are all around 16 years old..the language, the way the treat each other ect.
I agree with voicy, It happens on forums ect..people hide behind the internet cause they know there is little chance of tracking them down, they can do or say what they want because they can get away with it. Ive had this experience on MYBB, that's why I no longer visit the site.
Eat - Sleep - Overclock - Repeat
The forums are a nightmare... all the 12yr olds crying and whining over how X should be nerfed and Y (their class) should be made better. Thank <insert deity here> that the wow devs don't just read the wow forums for feedback.
Ingame the starting areas are pretty bad... sure there are some helpful guys every now and then, but majority of the high levels in say Goldshire are there to stroke their epeens by dueling the level 1-10s. The problem is:
Since WoW has been out for 3-4 years already people expect low level players to have played the game before, to know how to play, to know where everything is without the constant harassment of begging for gold, spamming for boosts etc.
I personally like the heirloom items in that since, immediately you can identify someone has a level 80 who appears to have a brain to be able to acquire heirloom gear for their alts

Yeah Juggernaut.
But it's ok, I have an epic 80 DK, and busy leveling a Druid, Paladin and Rogue. They are 60+ at the moment. Hopefully I have chosen the correct classes come change of FOTM. Heh.
