You surprised? Mature people were probably realize where this game has been going and quit or chose to play the forum game instead. All you have left in-game are... well, what you see in-game.

See? There's a reason for everything.

I've been playing online games since Starcraft in 1995ish and Guild Wars has absolutely the worst community of any online game I've ever played. I don't bother pvping (or playing for that matter) because of all the 100% pure stupidity that flooded the AB I had to do for factions quests... not to mention all the asshattery in general & trade chat in towns and outposts. The only reason I can think kids feel the need to do this is because it's a free game and hey, mommy paid for it so who cares if they get banned? I've played various other free MMOs and every time I come back to check out Guild Wars I'm still hit by a wave of stupid when I enter a town.

OP, give up now and try to get a refund, this game isn't worth it. The game devs abandoned it over 2 years ago and will likely do the same to GW2 when they get bored with it.

I'm guessing you didn't play DotA?

The actual top players are all generally pretty laid back. If they act like jerks its usually tongue and cheek.

The real world's pretty f*ed up as it is. What's so surprising about the internets? It's the real world with the same malice, except amplified times infinity. Keep your cyber-doors locked!

The actual top players did that thing that the Elves did at the end of Lord of the Rings. Got on their longboats and left all the peasants in the dust.

The top players are more than happy to stick to the international or Asian districts, as well as H/Hing. They never have to interact with anyone but their own, leaving the populated servers for the 12 year olds to throw their tantrums.

The biggest problem with the internets is that it's a perfect democracy. Age, intelligence, freedom from undesirable mental or emotional defects doesn't figure into anything. There's really no way to slap that cretinous 12 year old upside the head unfortunately. Not in GW, not anywhere else.

ignore the noob callers, after all we were all noobs. i'd like to see what they say if you just say "yes ich bin ein noob".
anywho the people who always go WTF and stuff are the minority in most of the game (shing jea and AB excluded) Guild wars actually has the best In game community in most MMOs

I've been playing 2 years and I'm still a noob, handy with a Necro but noob at pretty much everyother prof. The noob callers are usually angry kids who don't know that caps lock can be turned off, just ignore them.

95% of the folks I speak to/play/trade with are decent, but there always one stupid moron who comes along once in a while, just have to get used to it I guess

This is ALWAYS what I do during any and all PvP situations. People call you names to frustrate you, distract you or because they're mad and they need to take it out on someone, you don't even have to suck to get called names. And believe it or not, after a while you won't care that some anonymous douche is calling you a name, after all, why should they or their opinion on ANYTHING matter? Right?

I had to grow a thick skin to play pvp. It sucks, but now I just don't give a shit when some jerkoff calls me (insert favorite name here).

Elitism leads to hostility. Hostility leads to rage. Rage leads to HA, GvG, and Solo/Dual SC PvE players who'd rather H/H, or simply quit/uninstall rather than play with a bunch of 12 year olds who just aren't old enough to know what "care" is to give it as well as play smart, and learn to play competitively at a competent level. There's always that one bad apple, and I see it time & time again. Who can blame 'em? I sure as hell can't.
