The problems with World of Warcraft.

I've been playing WoW for two weeks now. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game and I love it, but there are some things that really shit me about it. The worst part is that they aren't part of the game mechanics, which means they won't be getting updated or patched later on. It's problems with the people that play it.

I've noticed that there's not a lot of help available for newer players. Something I find really odd is that more people on the older servers (where most people have one or two level 60's) are willing to help out newbies than their are on the new servers.

Instances
The problem with the community and instances is that if somebody is even one level higher than an instance, they won't go back to it and help you out. I know a group of people that are levels high enough to give me a hand at an instance where I'd really like a robe drop (Robes of Arugal, best robes I can get at my level) yet they're unwilling to help. The people in question did help me once, but two of them ended up going AFK half way through the run and one left. The other, the priest, stayed to help me. But we didn't get very far.

World PvP
I've heard of some guilds rushing to help out a newbie guild member after being ganked several times while trying to quest. I've heard tales of 40 man raids being held on an area where there was maybe two Pkers that were repeatedly killing one of their members. That's great generousity.
However, on this server, none of this generousity is to be found. A 32 mage and a 29 paladin ganked me five times before leaving the area while I was on my warlock. I asked for some help. The response: Anybody for RFK? and then silence for 20 minutes.


Bokra had a cry today. We were discussing raids in Vent (we're still sorting out a lot of things for the new guild). He doesn't talk to Bigmac a lot, but anybody that has, knows that he has a different way of talking to people, and just the way he talks makes him sound like a total asshole. He really isn't, but you just can't take him literally. Where somebody might say "talk a bit nicer" he might say "just shutup next time". He's a nice guy though.
So Bokra got sulky because he thought Bigmac was being insulting to him. Anybody who had even half a brain cell could tell that Mac was really enthusiastic, and grateful for Bokra's knowledge of end-game (he's pretty experienced). Anyway, then he got pissed, Mac asked him what was wrong, and he said "I don't like your attitude".
I just thought "Shit, what does this 17 year old little bitch think? That everybody should conform to his ideas just because he's done MC before?".
Whatever. Mac explained to him that it's just the way he talks. I think he's over it now.
