In classic EQ... I recall 'greed' being a major issue, really.
Dunno how many groups and even guilds split over just those issues. Of course, you WILL find more people who are willing to be 'good sports' in general.
Reputation - in a game where just leveling to max level is a BIG deal; means a lot more.
It's not so easy to just pop up a new alt if you have tarnished your name. I thought about that last night - perhaps one of the 'core' things that makes EQ so much better - is in fact how dang hard it is to level - you become more attached to your first main, other people in the game mean more - the names have some MEANING.
In WoW, maybe a few names of friends have meaning, but you rarely hear about people talked about like they are near legends - which I recall on EQ Classic. Some people had skill, some people had personality and others knew it.
I still remember some people from old EQ - and mostly because of their personality. You'll find more 'good' people to group with and stick with them.... That's less people for the ones with bad reps to 'use', since you already have a group.
