| Personally, I think the problem was setting up the expectation that the GMs were responsible for policing the behavior of the players within the boundries of the game world. It may have worked in Pen and Paper RPGs to have a GM dictate what you could and couldn't do to other players, and it may have even worked in a small mud with 2000 players.
But the unreasonable expecation to get 10,000 people to all get along and share and hold hands while they sing koombayah just seems really out of whack. Everquest established who gets loots rights to a mob by which person, group, or raid did more than 50% of the damage to the mob.
While it was occasionally gay to be leapfrogged to a chest in WoW, it seems like the even more immature thing to do would be to beg for assistance from a GM to get your chest back than it would be to take the fact you got outplayed like a man.
