The majority of WoW players have a "ME ME ME ME ME ME ME" attitude, so when things don't go right for them, they lash out like a bunch of careless douchebags.

I agree with you that people don't need to be jerks about it, but I don't think it really matters if it's a game or not. Sure, it's not saving lives, but that doesn't necessarily mean faster times either. (Have you ever been in an "emergency room" and had to wait for hours?) Basically, we're paying for a service that just so happens to be a game. It's hard work, yes. We don't have to be jerks about it; I agree. Do they deserve thanks? Sure, you can if you want. So, yeah... I agree with you. I guess just your emphasis that it is a game (like that's less important) kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
