There are are so many racists, bigots and closed minded people, it makes me fear the future.

It's like that in every game. That's how the world is ;P

Make up for it with sarcasm, most of those people won't understand it anyway.

Sarcasm, world's last weapon against idiocy.

Look on the bright side, the kids go back to school in about 2 weeks time here in the uk

Just like in RL, OP! The future is already here....

I think the online community just reflects society as a whole, unfortunately. People are a little more open with their views here because of the anonymity, that's all.

I was in a mixed-race marriage for many years and we and our children had to deal with bigotry and racism constantly. And i don't live in the inner-city, i live in a quiet seaside town in Dorset! Allthough they are adults now and deal with it very well, my daughters still have to take that kind of abuse regularly.

The world is full of angry people. Such is life. We just have to rise above it- and its worth saying that the world is full of incredible, wonderful people too, so its not all bad.

So they do here in Poland ;) The "siemka" curse will be lifted... hopefully.

Yup. Another two weeks. Then future is ours ;)

Might I suggestion you stay away from ANY online news source that allows people to comment... its much, much worse in the CNN comments section then our forums or in-game

not so, I've also been playing quake for what, 14 years now? now quakelive, and tbh, apart from the odd rage, everyone's pretty nice over there, coming here has actually been quite a surprise, I like tanks though so I just ignore it....
the rng and other random elements however, mmmm.

People are more likely to be offensive when the target of their bile can't punch them in the face.

I must say the verbal abuse is very high in this game vs others ive played. Sure you got the occasional "noobs".
I think its cause there are so many frustrating things about WoT ppl vent there anger and frustration wrongly directed.

Sure your team might be full of nubs, but its matchmaking that made the team with you and the noobs. Certainly isnt the noobs fault.

This game lacks alot of stuff id say was plain logic, like number of artys in a battle, scouts vs scouts.
It doesnt take into account for player skills, nor is there any "Leagues" separating the good players from the bad ones.

The good players would have better games, and the noobs would have better games not getting owned as easy.
Changes in this game happens kinda as fast as politicians work, talk and talk and nothing ever happens.

If WG acomodated more of the players needs i bet youd altso se less abuse in chat. Happy players wont go on a rampage, sure you have the occasional idiot that will abuse no matter what.

In Poland, schools will swallow kids on september 1st, so that's good news for all the "siemka" haters

Are you serious? Lets look back at history. There is no mass colonization going on, there is no wide scale slavery. People are not being gassed in concentration camps.

No, overall the world is progressing. The difference is the 24 hour news cycle.
