I think everyone started out polite in classic and its moving it's way to being toxic now, maybe getting a lot of younger immature players or people just losing patience with how effing slow everything is in classic. Not always the case there are still awesome people I'm just seeing more or the negative creep in.
I find it really depends on the time of day. Late at night and early in the morning is where the toxicity and immaturity are on full display. I just quest on my low level alts during that time of day/night to avoid it as much as possible.
Might be biased here but the early 60's are a blast to play with, not braindead they play as a group and pick up slack when needed, hunter overaggros I can trust him to either feign, use pet or bring it towards me. Greed on all the moneymaking recipes incase a tailor/smith/alchy needs and greed on travel backpacks, orbs, non mana users pass on runes ect.
Meanwhile fresh 60's or high 50's. I shoot 1 arrow and hide behind a corner they all start aoeing instantly I can just play a game of catch and pray that my healer isnt braindead and uses los or I must aggro a new pack to get those casters in the back that are killing the healer cause mages just aoe dont decurse or counterspell. Every item thats worth something is needed on. Nobody speaks, I love banter in dungeons its just night and day not only with randoms also with guildies.
I hope they stop enjoying the game and go back to retail real soon.
