Are People getting ruder and ruder?

[Captain NightWolf]

It's really disheartening to read all of this...Disney had a made a game, following the success of Toontown as well as the POTC games and movies, to be a fun & enjoyable pirate adventure with a nice family atmosphere...now it's all of this drama...

And while you can't say it's kids or adults, I will say that honestly nowadays many of these so called "l337" teenagers as well as young adults are the cause much grief...and it's not just in MMO's, it's also in FPS games...I call 'em youngins with attitudes...it's that whole pre-teen to age 23 or so that's rough before they finally grow up and see the real world...

Now I know why rum is in the game and it's always gone by true pirates...the onslaught of drama in the last year or so...don't fall prey to their rudeness...hang in there mateys...

Another reason IMO that we now have more of these instances where pirates come up and get into it with others while looting or leveling is because of the number of high level pirates now and because of the looting system.

First of all back in the day there were not as many mastered or high level pirates or high powered weapons around and most people actually needed a decent crew to take down enemies they wanted. Also the loot system was not in place and the aggressive nature in which some pirates try to "claim" there turf was not as strong. There are many more pirates trying to loot or level by themselves than ever before not saying it's wrong just a observation.

So the nature of the game has changed whether right or wrong and probably will never go back to the way it was.
