Is it easier to find friendly people in F2P games than P2P games?

Since I don't play P2P games lately, yes.
It's so very hard to make friends on games you're not actually playing, though I TRY. I try so very hard. I think friendly thoughts at EVE at least two, three hours a day, for example.
Okay.
I don't think this is a valid parameter by which to determine the friendliness of a community.
there are elitist jerks on in f2p and p2p!
In my experience the F2P have actually been nicer generally speaking.
Rappelz and Cronous are the two F2P examples. Although the nicest community I have been in was Lotro, but Guild Wars and WoW is just arguing all day long.
F2P games don't have barriers to entry, meaning anyone with a PC and an Internet connection can join. Couple that with the fact that a lot of F2P gamers don't pay a dime, they're not risking a monetary loss by being banned... They can just open up a new account for free ad jump right back in, and potentially return to ban-worthy behavior.
Is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
Looking for friends in video games these days reminds me of Diogenes The Cynic. An anchient Greek Philosopher. He lived a life of poverty,slept in a tub in the marketplace,while he carried a lamp he shined on men's faces during the day time,in his search of the world for one honest man. By the way. He never found an honest man,but was captured by pirates and sold into slavery.
Man Of Constant Sorrow
This sums it up.
Although it is possible to find a good group of people to play with in any game, but P2W is always the worst option. I think in game mechanics have a larger effect on player behavior than the payment model.
Well uh, f2p kids were the reason why I originally went to play p2p games.
Then suddenly, the kids got their parents' credit card info and parents started accepting mmorpgs as an alternative to raise their kids with the good old tv. Now it doesn't really matter anymore, does it?
I find it to be the exact opposite. This might just be because there are more rude people in the world, or more people who like to act rude online. And because more people have the opertunity to play free games than payed ones there might be more rude people in free games... or maybe it's just my experience.
I've been a F2P gamer for a while, but the times I've dabbled in P2Ps (City of Heroes, Star Wars Galaxies, ect) the community has been nicer, and a lot more outgoing than the times I've played F2Ps
I've found the communities for p2p games to usually be vastly more mature and friendly. Most f2p games I have tried have had pretty bad communities overall. But as said you can find wheat and chaff in any game, since you won't be playing with every single other player there you really only need to find a few who are nice to play with is all.
In my limited experience with F2P games, it has been really hard to find guilds of mature people. they all seem to be composed of teens or kids. as such, I just cannot fit, their chats bore me to tears, and Im quite sure they feel the same about me...
in P2P games so far I could almost pick a guild at random and I knew I'd find mature people to play with...
I don't think it makes a difference. It's hard to find friendly people online. Period.
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.
Well from my limited experiences P2P games have better , more mature communities than F2P games generally.
For some reason I have it easier finding both jerks and nice people in F2P games, it seems to be more extremes in them.
But generally is there not that much difference.
Speaking from my own experience, p2p games have just as many griefers, annoying children, gold spammers and otherwise bothersome/unfriendly players as any f2p, if not more so. I don't think the required subscription serves as quite the jackass barrier that some people are inclined to believe it is.
