I wonder if the reason I'm not seeing any hate is becaues I haven't had a group higher than 27 yet?
Mabye the majority of people playing are in higher level zones?

In WoW, there are always 20-ish people in the starting areas spamming the general channel.
(ps - If you haven't multi-boxed in WoW, you haven't seen hate yet! :P )

I even multi-boxed the EQ 10 year aniversary event and shot fireworks off on all 6 toons at the same time in front of a GM (before the server crashed, lol).
