That’s an interesting juxtaposition of “sociopath” with “community”.
A video was posted yesterday of a list of ten reasons why any individual might chose to play a massive multiplayer game, solo. Reason #3 on this list was their being a sociopath. In that context, I do not quite see your connection with “community”.
On the other hand - and joking aside - what evidence are you using to support your claim that the forum “community”, dysfunctional and combative as it is, is also an accurate mirror of what happens in game? Let’s agree that these forums are more or less toxic. What’s your evidence that the game is too?
You might be correct, and in all your assessments, but, 1) what evidence are you using, and 2) how would you change it to better attract & protect newbies?
Alternatively, if you think this game already “lost”, does that mean you have left, or are just planning to? (Which answer has further ramifications re posting on these forums - see point above, about possible disconnect between those who post and those who play. Must be some overlap, but how complete is it?)
