Sigh...
I agree with some things, disagree with others. I really wonder how many truely tried to find folks to play with. It's just like Everquest or any of the other old games. You had to go out and be social to find people to play with. There are going to be total jerks out there, of course... but man there are some of the BEST RP bars in town on WoW while I was there and a lot of good people. There was a ball I went to, we had a grand time and even set up some events at the Location. Drunken Brawls, or hand to hand fist fights. We had a beauty contest, for the ladies of course =) They wore varying dresses and it was rather amusing. Some dinner stuff, a dinner sit down and chat stuff. People of that guild hosting it [which i was not a part of ] even had waiters and servers, and they were dressed in tuxedos.
Heck I found great RPer's just wandering around grouping too. Yes I went through my fair share of rotten apples to find the sweets, the sweets aren't that hard to find though.
Sigh...
I guess I was just really lucky, or very open to exploring and finding people to play with.
