*EDIT: Sorry, adblock squished it, spaced out now.

*Rant START*
So I'm having to quit an mmorpg or at least a certain aspect and server of it that I enjoy because of drama reasons.
I found a guild I finally enjoyed a whooole lot, but a former guild member started defaming it.
And it turned into such widespread defamation that it was all over in game chat.
Then it showed up in the forums.
Then social media.....
I tried to fight it in some form, but bringing it up was just seen a causing MORE drama even when it was simply defending a guild of people who did nothing wrong.
If I ignore it nothing gets done but if I fight it it feeds the troll.
There's no winning.
And so....
Had to ragequit.
Yup.
Pretty damn pissed, but at this point I just want to avoid the game for a while, and when I play again I'll play on a different server because I'm bitter that I could get NO support from fellow gamers within the specific server this affected.
So there.
I'll just play a different mmorpg and really hope that any drama that happens doesn't get so widespread that there's no escaping it.
*Rant END*

Now to actually bring up conversation, has drama ever made you quit an online or gaming community?
Is there a reasonable way to handle it that I'm not considering?
