I think it comes from game developers making games too accessible, in that theres always low-level guns (for example, not necessarily fps but easiest example) that are way to good, plus noob features like GLs to 'even the balance'. They say themselves they like to 'give new players a chance'. They try to make it so even the worst and youngest and most retarded gamers can play and have some success - if games were harder, kids and faggots would give up, oldfags wouldnt get so irritated and frustrated at newfags having OP items etc and there would be less flaming from both camps. Nam sayn? Itll never change ofc, because the more accessible your game is, the more sales ofc.
Communities would be a lot worse if the opposite were true though.
Basically, devs need to hire community managers that aren't afraid to make examples of idiots, and make sure rules are enforced in online games.
