My experience with the community over the last few weeks or so has literally shocked me.
People don't listen to instructions no more, the aggression has worsened, and it feels like half of the game's population is 10 year olds.
Every time I enter FoW chest run, I always tell people don't talk to Rast or rush. 80% of the time people rush or talk to Rast. Whenever I do missions I always tell the leader a suitable pick of the team, like mabye an X? and they alway reply "We can do this without an X" and when we die, "lol, mabye we should have taken an X" or I tell 2 monks to decide who'll be prot n who'll be the healer. Half way through the game, they realise and every1 else find the situation hilarious although 1 hour of my 3 tight limited hours of GW is wasted.
The worst more annoying thing happened to me yesterday. I went around asking around if I can join a guild and some1 replies, "Join is but we are PvP" and I reply "No thx" since I'm more of a PvE player. And the child replies "WE DIDNT WANT YOU ANYWAY" "LOLX" I say how old are you 12, 13? And the typical reply to this is, "No, I'm 27" I insult him and he just keeps replying "No you do"
I've had enough of this and I seriously hope Anet remove the Cap of 3 heroes to unlimited because Heroes are more effecient and now I'm starting to think more intelligent than some people.
Btw, if a Wow player replies with a stupid comment I will really lose it, be warned.

Lack of mature players is probably the #1 reason I got sick of GW. The community was amazing at one point, but as it's grown so have the idiots. My advice - join a guild... a good guild not just any guild... a guild with ruels and laws which hate imature players as much as you do. Then, play with members of that guild.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.
I agree with you about the community. It's a shame, really: the graphics are great, the soundtrack is awesome, the gameplay (for the most part) is fun, but what brings it all down are the idiots that seem to infest the towns and PuGs.
All that noted, I just finished the Gayala Hatchery mission with a PuG, and they did pretty well at listening. We got master's reward there with no problem (most of the people had done the mission before, so that helped).
So can decent PuGs be found? Yes. Are they common? No. Wish it weren't that way, but that's the way it is.
And I agree about abolishing the 3-hero limit per player. Heroes are better than most players and definitely better than henchies.

New Low ? Are you nuts ? LOL ! I been playing GW since the first days it has come out. It is by far the best mmo on the market. Does it have its flaws ? Yeah no game is perfect but over the years now GW has over 3 million plus playing and shows no signs of slowing down. It is by far has the best pvp content out of all the mmos today. Having no monthly fee is a major thing for people not to mention the game is just alot of fun. Yeah you get some people who don't act mature in the game but you get that with every online game.
To me it sounds like you just have had some back luck with people. Try taking guildies with you or friends you know. It is alot more fun that way
Come on man you can´t make a thread about this, in evry MMORPG you gonna find people like this 70% of the time why ? no matter how old you are evrybody wanna be the leader of the group, obviusly this affect the people because no one wanna take orders by someone you don´t know and when you start a fight with someone don´t pay atenttion to it, i mean evrybody feel save behind a computer the best thing you can do is mute him and unmute after a couple of minutes.
One time i spend hours and hours in an instance and when we were infront of the last boss the Tank says something to the Healer 1 min later group Disbanded, believe me it will happen more than one time but those things are part of life you just gotta learn how to deal with them.
Actually no, This is probably one of the best, but i wouldnt call it "The Best" because in my opinion there are other games that own this one in pvp. (Eve-online)
And as for immature players, Unfortunatly when factions came out the ammount of little kids spiked to 50% an fromthere it went up slowly. And yes, best way is just to join a guild of a bunch of people who can work well together as a team and have a blast doing it. Most of these guilds require leadership, not so much rules. But just people with some intelligence. And i guess this is prob 50% why i left guildwars about a month after factions was released. I play eve online now. The ammount of immature players there is very low. But you still get the random 20-30 yr old dumbass.
But This is a good game non the less. Just all depends who you run into and who you hang out with.
Or join an already established guild of mature players.

Nothing new, people have been talking to Rastigan and rushing for chests since release.
You're right, the community has taken a turn for the worse and unfortunately, it's people like yourself who have decided to lead the way.

EDIT:I was wondering what you said when you declined?
Don't you think games are for children even if they are 20-30 years old child inside? As Sovrath said start your own guild and you will be fine.
The key to GW is understanding skills,and getting good at it pvp.
If you are stuck on storyline misstions its not rare to need to do one where theres a low amount off ppl trying to do it.the ones waiting to do it have probly failed a few times and are sick off the crap same as you,.seek them out,.make a balanced group and pwntz the misstion..
Finding a good guild is not easy,.the best way is to get dam good at pvp,.join random 4vrs4's,.If your good ,. other good pvpers will see this,.and you may get a invite to there groups or guild,.Get good with a monk or a mesmer,.play in randoms get good there,.Its easy to spot a pvper that plays a key role good,.And they will seek you out and recruit you,.just get dam good,.dont over look any skill,.and dont be bias to any skill.
This is how you find your mature players,.and have a clear mic.or ears.
im not going to rant about the game becose that is pointless , ill rant about people in one zone and gw comunity still learning and growing facts.
DOA , ok for more then one month i only play doa , i have LB6 almost 7 , ok that doesnt mean anything , but its really anoying seeing people that all they know is what they read in wiki , and they come with this " i know all " tone in teamspeak , for crying out loud !
last time i was doing a veil run , people keep telling me to cast and run back from a group of 3 monsters .... camon ,.. 3 monsters is not the gloom cave noobs.
and then the mob was unagroing from the tank , becose one of the noob eles was casting a bizarre skill i dont remember the name , we were playing for more then one hour and they still the reason for the ungro was me camping casting sf and gg , but it was not , it was that noob spell. they didnt belive me.
one reason i dont like wiki , before wiki was big people had to learn from others experience ingame , now they read wiki and they think they know more about that quest or zone then everyone , SUCS !!!
anyway , that last run i didnt have the energy to try to explain to the group , normaly is what i do and its what everyone should do , just explain what and why is roung. but i didnt .. i call them NOOBs and left the group , i dont remember doing this before , might have been my first time , its also hironic i have to call people noobs in the elite town.
something i never do anywhere else.
this is why i say , everyone is a noob until they reach citadel in DOA , and same for pvp , everyone is a noob until they reach the halls in HA.
ok no more rant , this might be one of my only posts complaining about gw comunity.

You completely misinterpreted what I said. Use your brain. I replied "sorry I'm alot in to PvE." Then he replied with "WE DIDNT...." So asked him "Why are you acting so arrogant?" Then he randomly insulted me about my mother, which I take pretty offensive. In your defence you can say why didnt I say it first but I'm not going to make a 2 page rant am I?
Thanks to the people who gave decent replies, I have found a friendly guild, and I do almost everything with them now.

I guess i wasn't one of the "decent replies" but yeah, you didn't give the whole story. I'm not saying make a 2 page rant but if you're gonna try to make a point, make it where it doesn't seem YOU are the one at fault, which, you did. But again, even with his comment, you could have been more "Adult" and just let it go instead of replying back and insulting him back. That's what ignore is for. I wont debate this any longer as I doubt you'll agree with me but you too acted immature and like you were "12, 13" when you traded insults with him. I suggest that you not let the idiotic simpletons that play the game drag you down to their level. But, like I said, I'm not going to debate this because I'm sure you don't see what you did wrong in the situation and I'm not going to debate it endlessly.

A notorious GW player said: "Don't argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."
Heres some advice, if somebody is rude just say "loveley to meet you" if they trash talk back just block them, EASY
Also you might wanna try and find a strong guild that farms alot, youll find it rare to get a good PUG FOW team
P.S. Joey boots please paragraph your long replies it was almost impossible to read :S
