Maybe this is why, I am sure the younger also have simliar stat.

Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.

EDIT: Using this stat there are a few of us posting right now that fit the category.

No argument's here except that I think it's pointless to put in I'm going to treat you the same if you were 3 and never touched an mmo before.

I've to say that, sadly, players in this game seem to have little or no common courtesy/manners.

Thats the way people are. If you don't like it try not playing with other people or only people you know. People treat friends differently from others what you might not thank a pug for you might thank a guild for surprisingly some people don't even notice they treat people differently.

I'm talking about a simple "hey there" when you join a group.

99% of the time when I join a group (that's if I join a group and not just h/h it) I'm there to get it done not to make friends.

Or perhaps a, "thanks for the run" to the leader if it was a good run?

You either pay the runner or it's something they were probably going to do anyway. Yes if it's a free run I'll thank the guy. But if I'm paying them unless they do an extraordinary job I won't say anything.
Because if I'm paying them they should be thanking me. No offence, It's just customer service.

Or perhaps complimenting the healer for keeping everyone in the party healthy or even rezzing the reckless zerger that keeps getting killed all the time?

If they aren't willing to do those they shouldn't be a healer except the reckless zerger leave him dead he's hurting more then he's helping.

Again, is it too much to ask for folks to have common courtesy? It's an MMO there are people behind those 'toons' you group with (except, of course, henchmen and heroes). It's not only good for your in-game experience but you'll also find out that being courteous in real life is a very good trait to have.

Yes it is to much to ask. People are courteous in real life it just so happens that when I'm playing a game that's my time. While yes it is their time to they don't have to party with you. I feel no need for courtesy. Go ahead and say what you want it's just the way thing's are.

While I'm mindful that there are a lot of angst- and raged-filled teeny-boppers, the fact is that age and life stage alone is no excuse for being rude to your fellow players.

Just like you being married and having kids is no excuse for acting like you deserve more respect then anyone else.

or me, who is asking for it.
