I almost felt like people got worse at RPing over time. First roleplay I joined was free, about 5 years or so ago, and in the latter stages of oldguild, I swear to god, half the threads in casual were less advanced than that first free RP.

EDIT: *Sorry*, I'm an english language student now, so apparently it's improper to call people 'bad writers'. Replace 'worse' with 'fulfilling the role of a lower prestige.'
