WoW easily has one of, if not *THE*, worst community I've ever experienced in an MMO. I've noticed some of the smaller games tend to have more helpful people. For example the Runes of Magic community is rather helpful which in turn makes people want to help others as they get higher level. Sure you get the random person screaming "n00b" but not much after that they get panned for being a jerk and the person who asked for help gets help (if anyone can help them). This is a radical shift from WoW where asking for help is a sure fire way to get nothing but grief.
