I know (and was one of) the original WoW raiders that refused to use mods simply because they felt it was cheating. If the devs wanted attacks called out, they'd add it to the game naturally (and they eventually did, but having it so early on destroyed any sense of challenge).

As for this game's community being MOBA-like, nah. I can't agree with that one bit. MOBA communities are horrid enough to keep me from ever bothering to play in them. You're going to have pricks wherever you go, but the design of the MOBA space in general tends to bring out the worst in people.

I think that's because MOBAs are a 40-minutes-or-more team combat that's actually decided in the first five minutes who is going to win.

You're not wrong. An incredibly small percentage of MOBA players will ever be spotlighted. Yes, you have an internet moniker, but the chances of you running into the same people after the hour-long match are slim to none, so why bother being nice in a competitive environment? Not to mention that if you're grouped with people trolling you or just being dumb, it can be frustrating as you know you've wasted an hour of your time. They keep trying to find ways to make the environment more friendly, but short of actually changing the entire design, I don't see how it will ever happen.

I played League back in the day when it only had a handful of champions. When its community became shit, I bailed and went to Smite when it was still in beta. Now its community is equally as horrid, as is every other MOBA I've ever tried. At this point I just stay away. If I want someone to tell me (or others) how bad we are, I just spend a little time with Faye. She's Satan or something, or so people tell me.
