once again... MMORPG?!? LMFAO!!!!!!!
I'll let someone else put down this sorry excuse for a gamer.
Is GW the worse community. Yes. Why? Because I didn't see anyone in WoW or EQ with the name Hitler hates Juices (or Jews for anyone who got that one) or Black Nagger. Or how about the racist shouts over the chat like "Kill the Koreans," or "Someone please run me to the next town, don't be a Jew."
4 month of racist remarks eventually made me leave that community and game.

Lol, we weren't discussing if Guild Wars is an MMORPG. We were discussing the communitty of the game. And also, we don't need any more people to say that GW isn't an MMOPRG, that fact has been argued since teh betas. I would argue with you about it being and MMOPRG, but I agree, it isn't and that just fine with me. Its fun as hell and nothing you say can make me think otherwise.
-ummm...how does the discussion of the game's genre as a mmorpg reflect on the game's community...to tell the truth -I haven't seen a community in anything as bad as these forums...
i agree, half of the people in these forums are complaining about how a game sucks or how the comunitity is so imature and crap, it is a bunch of people whining about a GAME, i think that is as immature as the comunity on GW. and the reason that the comunity is full of kids is that it has no monthly fee (which means no credit card). so people have to just deal with that, or dont play the game. if u really think that the comunity is imature, think of the one word GAME, contemplate what that means. KIDS play games. KIDS whine about things...along with alot of people in this forum. just stop whining and play the game, if u think it stinks dont play it and forget about it.
i have played GW for 3 or 4 months now, and i think it has a good comunity, other than the spammers, but newbs dont make a damn comunity suck, it is people that complain about them and be assholes. much like people in this forum *hint* *hint*
Tell me how does Racist names/remarks, spammers, exploiters, anti-complainters and fanboys make this game less of a bad community than complainers in general? People don't complain for nothing, you give them something to complain about and you are going to get complaints. Even if you ignore the other stuff, the racist names and remarks enough to make this game community the worse.
I mean I've seen racism in other communities, but not as THIS community because these people will break their necks to say or named themselves in offensive way. It doesn't matter if they are KIDS or not, if the KIDS are shouting racial slurs over the net, what's that tell you of the parents? And GW has done nothing to stop offensive names within the game. I mean if this were my MMORPG, it would be half empty I would kick/ban everyone with offensive names, even if it's a variation of the name's spelling. And it's not all kids by the way, grow ups are doing this too.
And because GW doesn't have a in-game moderation service, people think they can get away with anything, which seems to be the case. I've suggested the idea on the first day, but they have yet to add it. Until other players will suffer at the madness of fanboys, spammers and the racist players on this game.
While I will certainly agree that every MMO has it's fair share of idiots and spammers, I just can't believe that there is any game as bad about it as Guild Wars.
I mean, I've had someone constantly following me around spamming "Plz touch my butt", or someone else the other night decided to announce "Hey I just got my d1ck sukked by a necro!!11!!"
Now, while you will encounter immaturity like this every once in a while in any game, only in Guild Wars does it seem to happen EVERY TIME YOU PLAY.
At times I find the GW community... lacking maturity. There are some real jerkoffs out there. And the scammers... But then again, every game has those people in the community and ANet has done a fantastic job weeding those people out.
The thing is though, that because the game is FREE, we are bound to accumulate immature players who couldn't otherwise play a pay to play game because their mommies wouldn't let them.
Now, I'm not making excuses. I am not exactly silent with my opinions on what I think ANet should improve upon. I am not a die-hard GW fanboy. But then I don't really think that they can do anything more than they already do to keep the community in order without charging us a monthly fee. So, we've got to take the bad with the good I guess.
GW does have a lot of immature players but ya just gotta say "screw em" and do the quests/missions on your own. Why have some idiot named "Dome Plz" ruin your gameplay. But yes they GW should have some sort of in-game service to report these idiots.
If you linger in Local chat... then yes GW probably does have one of the most immature, eye bleeding communities that ever existed.
The instancing helps this, as if you only spend a little bit of time in towns you don't have to turn off your chat. Where-as in WoW many people just turn it off and never look back.
Find a good guild... More likely from a forum then any in game advertising... You'll end up holding fast to your guild. Just like most games, being in a guild that suits you can make or break the game for you.
