Generally yeah. There are some in the sanctioned spaces who suck too. The I grinded more so I should beat you even if you are better than me crowd is super annoying. Games like WoW, especially classic, with players like Asmongold are super toxic. Back in the day Raiders, top PvE players, could beat top PvP players because high end PvE gear was better than PvP gear. And there were people who deadass defended that.

Not as bad as the griefers obviously but still annoying. It's the same mentality of enjoying hunting sheep and it just makes everyone else not want to play. MMO communities are almost universally anime-game tier toxic
