Why does everyone compete with eachother?

Why does everyone Compete to eachother? i mean if you say something you get instantly flamed with: you suck you wont get it, Like: I didn't get the Kingslayer at 10% but at 35% now u suck. Why do they do that? :P It's a game but a lot of players are too fanatic.

EDIT: Neither to troll nor flame people, just a question.

Because this is the internet, and anonymity makes people assholes.

Because it's a game?

And because 10% is the last chance to prove you arent casual?
I'm just guessing... I've never had the issue youre saying but think about it.

The more "hardcore" players are harder to distinguish from casuals nowadays and even more so when 25m has equal loot to 10m, just let them say 35% is crap for now. Let it be.

Kingslayer is a crappy title anyway, I think they could have come up with a better one.

It's human nature to compete. Why wouldn't this apply to a game?

competing is human nature

When what defines a player as "good" is attaining gear early, killing difficult bosses the quickest and getting the highest ratings, you tend to compare yourself to others. When you notice someone worse than yourself, some people try to push them down to make themselves seem as better players.

Its nature, survival of the fittest.

Wrong. People are assholes in general, it's in our nature. Due the internet's anonymousity, people can get away with it. In real life, you'll probably end up in jail or worse, so you behave in real life.

Do the math.

Chazz(Will Ferrel) from wedding crasher's. 10g please!!

Real question is, why would anyone care about some keyboard warrior who thinks they're all that for no reason whatsoever?
I mean, kudos to the guys who's on the bleeding edge of whatever it is that they're doing. But when someone tries to belittle me because i don't have that title/item/mount/whatever, i just laugh it off and keep on enjoying the game my way

Because people love to compete with each outer it's human nature. But the rude one's are just being rude because that's what they like doing.

From a raiders point of view i would say that the compete part is essenssiel for every raider cus that is the drivingforce that pushes you do better and better, but if your thinking about tradechat ect then i would say its cus its tons of raging small kids who just dont know better yet. Its something you see everywhere on the net or online games.

Sad but true.

Anonymity doesn't make assholes, its just that assholes thrive in anonymity.

since when is there a 35% buff? :s

Doing lich king at 10% means u just have more skills then the random guy who did it at 30%

Doing lich king at 10% means u just were in a group who have more skills and time then the random guy who did it at 30%

Fixed.

Seriously, it takes 25 of you to defeat the top end content, and it takes a lot of hours of raiding to get it right. Kudos to those who are in guilds who can do that, but the best ones don't need to "prove themselves" by belittling others. They just do it, and get on with the next.
