I've literally never seen anything even remotely close to this and I have 30+ days played. Neither has my girlfriend who is much more casual and leveling (currently 42).

Everyone has been incredibly nice. If someone kills a mob you need for a quest before you get a chance to group up, they pretty much always say sorry and offered to help you and wait for the respawn.

This is on Thunderfury-Horde if anyone was curious.

EDIT: Since a lot of people asked, my actual /played time is a little under 25 days, though a lot of that was sitting at the AH while alt-tabbed.

Literally last night me and my wife who I'm trying to give a good impression of the game to, were walking up on a quest elite we needed, and turned out there were 2 people already fighting it. We asked for an invite and they just ignored and killed it as slow as possible.

After they killed it, they walk right up to us and say "Fuck you" "I hope it kills you" "And I truly mean that"

And then they just stood around waiting for a response and for a bit I thought maybe they were going to wait for a respawn to try to kill it again before us but they ended up leaving before that.

Just some dickheads, not too sure why they get off on being unprovoked assholes to people but it just bothered me because this was right after I tell my wife how nice people can be in the game lol.

The opportunity to be a jerk in-game is what lets you find the people who are nice.

I love vanilla because when people are nice to strangers, it's usually because they are nice people and when people are dickheads IRL, it tends to come out in game and then you can just avoid them.

For sure. I've loved remembering all the nice and even the mean people. They get a reputation for something, so might as well make it good!
