I was going to agree with you because I thought you were titling your post in the fashion "The Stone Age", not talking about specific QQ messages. It really seems like lately the quality of communication in WoW has gone downhill. I remember when a decent percentage of the people you encountered in the game were generally rational, grown-up individuals who were interested in having a good time. Now it seems like nobody is in that boat, and everyone is interested in being condescending, belittling, and irritating to everyone they meet.... always. Say anything in trade chat, be it a question or a statement, and if you get any answers at all at least one will be aimed as far away from helping you as they can get. That's why I don't see myself ever going back to solo-boxing - I couldn't play this game anymore without the nice warm niche of independence I've carved into my server.

On an unrelated note, I got turned down for tanking a pug Karazhan run on my Paladin last week. (Solo, not with my multibox team) I've tanked Rage Frostwhisper, Gruul, Magtheridon, Void Reaver (Through 100% of the fight, the warriors couldn't keep up with my threat rocket) and solo-tanked all of Karazhan. Their reason? "She's a no-skill hacker" Direct quote relayed to me by proxy, several of my guild were in the group, but left after hearing that. I suppose that was my poetic justice, their pug most likely fell apart after losing several of my guildies who didn't want to have anything to do with their condescension.
