Why Are MMO Players Such Jerks?

Bright Hub writes: "We've all encountered them. The grumpy elitists who feel the need to mock and ridicule anyone whose achievements aren't as significant as they perceive their own to be (self-delusion not withstanding).

They sit in trade chat and belittle anyone who has the audacity to seek help with an innocent question and promptly boot anyone from the guild who doesn't meet their exacting standards for damage or healing ability.

They mock your gear and spec, calling you a noob for being a casual player or not knowing all the latest PvP tactics.

To them, it's more than a game, it's their entire life."
