The biggest news you've missed <G> is that I'm actually playing WoW,
though
on a seemingly asshat-free Aus PvE server (Kha'Goroth) & actually enjoying
the game (got an undead warlock chick to 20th now). Of course, I haven't
given Buzzard a cent of my own money & still have $100 as a Christmas gift
I
can spend on game cards, so my conscience is clear so far >8^D

I always said I thought there was a decent game hidden amongst the general
asshattery and whatnot, if you could find it, or had the patience to search
for it while wading through the associated BS.

And I repeatedly pointed out that the servers I play on (all European)
were not like your description either.

Furthermore, everybody I've met who has played on US servers says they
are much the same.

Either you were very unlucky, or your tolerance of asshattery and other
human foibles is simply abnormally low.
