Based on the number of rude/mean people I've bumped into in WoW, there must be a ton of haters out there. <br /><br />I guess I'm just a carebear at heart.

Not seeing who is affected by your actions has always made a difference to how we decide to act. Trolling is one thing, ninjaing in instances, calling people names and all the other things we have to put up with from random people on a daily basis are other such things.<br />No one becomes physically hurt, so it matters less. Or so they seem to argue anyway. <br />This was an issue already when they invented the bow! People said that since you didn't have to necessarily look the person you hurt in the face (as you had with fists and swords) it would be "too easy" to kill them.<br />It is interesting indeed.<br /><br />People will always troll.
