The reason for this behavior is mainly because of a games popularity. I've played quite a few MMO's, from Guild Wars, Warcraft, and on to Lord of The Rings and Phantasy Star Universe, to name a few. GW, LoTRO and PSU have, by far, much more solid and helpful communities than WoW does, and I believe that this is mainly to do with the fact that those games have a much, much smaller community than WoW. The more a game permeates the general public the more immature players its going to get, I'm afraid thats just how it is.

Agreed. If anyone plays on XBL, you'll understand this from the behavior of people on games like Halo 3 or CoD4.

I used to play DAoC a lot, and the community was small but it was a great community. Sure, there were griefers from time to time, but it's nothing compared to what you'll see on WoW. I'm not saying every player on WoW is like this, it's just since there are so many players that it's just much more common.
