The real reason why WoW's community sucks

[Goradan]

honestly I feel that all of the topic about the community and the blaming on LFD/LFR is just the thing over and over and there nothing being done to finning the true reason for this mess and then trying to solve it

3) Way too many people basing their real-life self worth on pixel loot, and thus taking it way too seriously.

As pathetic as it sounds, Bovinity has it right. Whilst many things have contributed to the 'decline'of the WoW community, I believe the above is at the centre of it. Shame really.
