Different strokes for different folks, I'm afraid. You just haven't experienced what others and I have. That being said, the game is certainly not overrun with such behavior. But it is there, it's the sort of thing some would expect to be present, yet the majority of FFXIV's player base doesn't consist of it.
I think the same will be true for the WoD MMO. The sorts of players that Raccoon suggested will definitely be there, but I highly doubt the overall percentage of stupidity is going be 40% higher or more than that of what is found in most other MMOs. A small part of the reason I think this is actually because of what you said about longtime WWolf fans typically (though not always) being older and more mature.
That, and... I don't think how accessible something is, nor the self-perceived estimate of the amount of effort one hobby takes over another, are necessarily the best tools to be using for this sort of speculation. But that's just me.
