A good friend of mine started playing LoL and she plays support. I think someone started giving her crap and another team member stepped in and helped. Saying things like, "If you think she's doing the job wrong then teach her." And just kept repeating that every time their one teammate complained. Sometimes you meet nice people and sometimes you meet mean people, it all depends.

I remember watching another friend play WoW, she was a hunter with a pet and her pet kept aggro-ing everything and pissing off her team. She tried a bunch of options to get her pet to stop until someone told her.

I think that's one thing most people miss. They get so wrapped up in playing the game and trying to be the best that they just flip out when someone messes up. If they just sat down and tried to help them or were at least encouraging, people would not be so afraid to try new MMOs.

And as far as microtransactions go, I feel it's a gray area. Some places do it very well and some do it very very wrong. For example, Guild Wars 2, you pay for the game and then they offer microtransactions. I don't believe it covers anything too outrageous I only looked at it briefly but they also offer the chance to convert in-game currency into cash bought currency and vice versa. I'm pretty sure that's correct. Or when games offer an item for money and game currency but it's just "faster" to buy with money. But then you also have games that charge outrageous amounts for purely cosmetic items that add no stats. Or they sell you cosmetic items at decent prices but they're temporary. Again, I think it's a gray area, it can go very right or very wrong.
