I have visited many public worlds recently, all of which are filled with 90% steam visitor desktoppers, your occasional raid with obnoxious avatars, a very high chance of being crashed by some obnoxious nigger that joins the instance and immediately kills everyone with a billion particle effects, and basically, it's awful.

Public instances used to be somewhat decent, there were some interesting people that hung out in them, but they're just garbage now. I know it's not just me either, because I have talked to people that also visit pubs from other groups that I don't really even know, and those people also say the quality of people in public worlds has just been drastically dropping and dropping. So it's not even just /vrg/ people that I talk to saying this stuff (although they also say the same thing), it's just something that a lot of people have begun to notice.

The reason why this is, I think, is that the game has now been around long enough and gotten to the point where the interesting people are going off into their own friends+ and private worlds with the other interesting people they've met, and unfortunately all that's left now in publics are uninteresting steam visitor desktoppers, wolfboy particle effect spammers/crashers, and people that are actually still trying to get in on the Knuckles meme because they just saw the video for the first time now and think that that's still something people do 2 years later.
