I agree that most players in WoW are ruder and less mature than in EQII, and playing that game I expected to see that behavior. When I came to this game, I realized that it WAS more mature-and came to expect maturer behavior.
But just because you have come to expect 'good' behavior from a variety of people there, doesn't mean every newbie who rolls of the Isle is going to be nice-and if they arent, they dont have to be from WoW or 'kiddies'
I hate that kind of thing, most people I meet on MMO's believe that *almost every* 12, 13, 14 year old are immature and rude. And some of the time that is true, but lots of 12,13,14 year olds act and say that they are older(and maturer) BECAUSE once people know(or think) that they are younger, they start to look down upon them. I can't count how many times I have had a guild, friend or groupy turn away from me just because I let one thing slip, they find out Im 13, and just instantly hate and look down on me because of that.
Bottom line- Dont compare age/previous experiences(WoW for instance) with how mature the person is. It's just those few people who act very childish that give us all a bad name.
