I played for about 6 months on Blue after coming back to EQ after ~20 years, and enjoyed it for the most part, but was really looking forward to a fresh start. I ran into my fair share of asshats, only got involved with GMs twice after trying to reason with blatant douchelords, but was ok with the general population.

I had a feeling when the news of "Green" was posted on IGN and Kotaku to name a few, that a lot of trolls, griefers and min/maxers would go through the trouble of setting up the client, downloading patches and provisioning accounts, just to be douches. I was not wrong.
When Teal opened, I figured that'd probably sort some chaff from the wheat. I was wrong.

Between camps being rolled over because "population is too high", people ninja looting while waiting for a dead group member to get back to loot (from Surefall to Blackburrow... calm your tits), and being bitched at about being under-geared (in full banded with a combine weapon at lvl 12, 24 hours in) made me realize that it really does take a few bad apples to fuck everyone's day.

And the "kthnxbai" respondents are likely the same assholes (or their enablers) that I'm talking about.

TL;DR:
Some people are just miserable cunts who take pleasure in ruining others fun. If this hadn't been a magnet for said people, I'd still be playing.

Well, you sound like a dismissive asshole, sorry you're terrible at empathy.
Why is it that posting anything negative about the community automatically makes you a whiny bitch?

Lesson learned, either be cowed and put up with assholes, or play something else entirely and remove yourself from the community.

Pretty sure I have some screenshots depicting the bullshit, if I do I'll post some examples.

That said I'm genuinely happy that the majority of your experiences have been positive. Carry on.

It's a video game you don't need empathy to play a video game

This is absolutely true of any single player game. The fact you don't believe empathy is a factor in an MMO illustrates my point exactly.
