In my time in MMOs I've had the worst of Drama in my past MMO, TERA. The problem is the word popular and my name appeared all too often. It was annoying, because of the people it brought out. During my time as a guild leader there were people who joined my guild SOLELY to 'Hang out with Sefrah'. It hurt. They fought with each other over who was Sefrah's 'Favorite'. People left the guild over this stuff. A wise friend put it bluntly, "Welcome back to high school, and you're the popular girl."
In short, what I've seen, is either 1. People want to be the center of attention, or 2. They want to get approval from someone who gets the attention. I'll be honest: My strange popularity I didn't handle well. I wasn't used to it, and thus, I created tons and tons of unnecessary drama. Friends didn't help either - more than once people placed me on a pedestal because I'd draw attention.
My advice to people who seem to be surrounded by drama, or seem to have a bunch of 'stuff' around them -Â Separate your friends, and everyone else, out. As a friend told me, "There's your friends, and your fans. Your friends are who you spend time with. Your fans are people you smile, wave, give them their moment, and move on."
I have no idea if anything I'm saying is helping, but just, enjoy the game! Say hello to people! Be nice and don't be afraid of meeting people! Faye's jiggling is not that intimidating! You never know what'll happen!
