Well...
Friendship is the hardest thing to define, since often friendship is abuse...
Personnally I limit my friendship to a minimum with almost everyone, the day they expect me to do something for them, I show at something else and shine as much as possible in the other thing!
The more humans you involve, the more the challenge is around social issues instead of the real topic! Same goes with friendship, so easy to be friend with any of those 10 persons on an individual basic, but all 10 of them at once, yike, impossible!
Sound to me like you have a conflict with what you expect from friendship and what they expect. The oldest argument of the world, different expectations that where assume to be right and granted by both sides.
The enemy is so dumb...they believe that we are the enemy!

Most common reason is people get bored.MMORPGs live a long life(UO is now a whooping 7 yrs old.Any other game but a mmorpg would be long dead).
Majority of people can stand 2 yrs if they really like the game but eventually you get bored.
I tend to not put too much faith into the anonymous people I meet in MMORPG's.
I have quite a few relatives and RL friends that play MMORPG's and we usually play the same one together. This is also why I do a lot of soloing in game. If people I now personally aren't on, I tend to not group with others. If I do, it is for short amounts of time, maybe at a specific spawn or in a zone for a purpose.
I have only joined one guild in all of my MMORPG'ing and it was in DAoC after my brother had joined and convinced me to. I did have a very good experience with it, but I still did not put a lot of faith in my Guild Mates. Would not trust one to hold something valuable for me for instance (I mean, REAL valuable). Or, I would not give out my account info to someone I did not know personally.
I don't know what experience you had, but it must have been pretty bad to make you want to actually quit.
I never thought I would give out my account info to a "friend" I met in-game but then I came across a couple guys, formed a tight bond with them and we started a small guild and that's exactly what happened. This didn't come about haphazardly but took months of getting to know each other in-game. Equipment flowed between us freely and I soon came to trust that these guys put friendships over in-game rewards. Realizing that it was just a game and that without them I probably would have been bored and quit months prior I shared my account info with them (I had the only cleric that could xp-revive them) and they gave me theirs. In the years that followed none of us burned each other and having in-game "friends" like these made the game 10x more fun than it would have been.
You can meet great people in these games just be very choosy about who you pick and make them prove themselves to you before putting too much trust in them. Watch out for guys that seemed driven by loot, powergaming etc. I'm not saying their aren't great people who care about these things but it does suggest where their priorities might lie so just take extra caution is all.
Don't give up hope, just take this as a lesson learned.

Those are usually the kind of experiences I get when I try to play and talk to other people in an MMORPG. Whenever I join a guild or something, I would always for some reason end up meeting real nice people, and they were very trustworthy as well. We use to share accounts between each other and such, and it was really cool, we would all give each other items if the other needed it, and we would also share items, I remember in a game I got some really rare item, and a couple of people in my guild really needed it, and I really didn't need it, so I gave it to them to share. It's things like that that keep me going in an MMORPG, trusting people that create rich experiences ingame. One of the guilds I was in went so far that we started to play another MMORPG and actually stayed intact as a guild again in that game, which I thought was cool.
So to the topic poster, some people just suck, and are plain lousy, while others are good, and very trustworthy. I hope you find those good people, those are the people that make an experience in an MMORPG so much better.
