Community death is what happened to WoW with the introduction of LFG at the end of Wrath of the Lich King. Cataclysm adding LFR just cemented the issue.

Before either you were only ever going to interact with those on your server, so anyone who fucked around would soon find out a reputation of their actions would follow them about.

Be a twat in dungeons, you'd start getting blacklisted by various guilds.

Spam chat channels and harass others, you'd end up on a lot of ignore lists.

LFG however meant you could join 4 randoms you might never, ever see again no matter how long you all played so why bother being polite when the prisoner's dilemma was presented? While many issues have been addressed over the years there are still many present as there is only so much the devs can do to avoid the implemented fixes from then also being abused

The less said about Looking For Retards the better because even for something that is meant to be the ultimate easy mode in WoW there are still far too many that can and will fuck it up.

I almost got curious enough to get "new" WoW whatever it was at the time about a year ago just to see. I imagine it's a shell of it's former self. I quit right around the Crusader Arena Trial or whatever in Lich King, came back to kill the then nerfed LK, played into Cata a bit and quit for good. That 2006-2009 run though was the only time in my life I ever played just one game.

All their reasons for begging for all those features was just asshats wanting to be asshats freely with no recourse. It was never that hard for me to build rapport with people in top guilds and get to join in on things occasionally even though I was never going to be able to invest enough time to be anything more than a second-tier raider.
