It would seem that things such as WoW attracts a higher than average proportion of emotionally unstable people. Either that, or it's more difficult to keep it reined in while logged into quasi-anonymous virtual worlds.
If you guys were LARPing instead, I'm sure it would go down a bit differently.
Or maybe not.
I know office politics happens in workplaces everywhere, but some of the stories I hear coming out of WoW are rich. But, then again, the way things work on WoW are out of whack compared to the real world. The management of guilds, raids, and loot isn't conducive to the common practices of the real-life Western world. Maybe that's why I didn't really get into it. Maybe Eve Online is more my speed. Then again, maybe it's all the same.
