It's a shame, too. I don't really mind playing with other people, usually PvE, but when you're just so much more mature than they are the whole dynamic can be grating. PvP though? I'm not sure what's worse, the shit talkers or the teammate griefers who throw a game for some silly reason.

That said, I met my wife in an MMO and you very much can make genuine connections with strangers on the internet. Just... You know, if you're hitting 40 and they're 14, the FBI might want to have a word with you.
