While far away from the most rude of player bases (give that to World of Tanks and League of Legends), I would say the community here in general are the most existential I have ever seen.

Existential. Nice. Code for self-absorbed or that the only way to make this game what it could potentially be is through application of the self? Perhaps both.

But also better guilds/clans and all that good community stuff.
Also if that day someone pissed off then super rage activate that no kid can pull off.

Player morale, OTOH, seems improved by the MechCon announcements. Especially (possibly exclusively) by MW5.

So, still a better love story than Twilight, sexier than 50 Shades of Grey (look at dat Roughneck. DEM CURVES) and still more functional than the US congress.

You forgot the anime. Never forget the anime.

I'd give most rudest community to Elite: Dangerous. Their official forum is a massive "safe space" for PvE carebears, PvPers not welcomed.

Apparently you've never played EVE. That place is just the worst. Even the "friendly" people you meet wouldn't blink at shiving you the first chance they get if they would profit from it. And the not-so-friendly people do much, much worse, all while being total ***holes about it.

The MWO playerbase is relatively harmless compared to other "communities" on the internet. Sometimes you encounter some really childish and aggressive behaviour from what you assume to be an angry teenager, and then it turns out to be a guy in his 50's with a wife, a dog and three kids, which is always a bit weird. But for the most part, it's a relatively nice community. Some people even give away free stuff to people on the internet or volunteer money to support tournaments and stuff.

I don't think all of that comes from PGI as the base has much to do with chasing new players off and this forum is an example of that. Its populated by squareheads and moderated by the same. As in life most often the majority is wrong as it is here.
For example the majority in the US believe our founding documents were written fought over and approved by the majority where its no where near the truth. Far from it. At the time of the founding roughly 3% were actively bearing arms against the king and by the time the conflict was over more colonists wore redcoats than blue. The sqaureheads than convinced themselves that they were a part of it and the big lie continued. Pretty much like that in anything and in any art. Science is a good example too. Most every major discovery was by outliers or those outside the box.
Now if you come back to the forums you can see that in practice. Only the party line carries here. All other opinion is quickly shot down castigated and dropped. Then the sqaureheads pat themselves on the back and continue to arrange the deck chairs on this titanic. Reality will come at the end but they will just move on and corrupt some other game.
Only thing that can change that is a leader with vision. Sorry but I don't see Russ filling that role. He is a squareheaded as the population is as examples abound.

Oh i've heard of EvE. You haven't seen E:D till you see legions of "carebears" gloating that they abruptly leave the game when a player engages them in Open play and PvPers are treated like greifers no matter what.. Heck the mods there are even actively assisting the "safe space"
PvPers are more likely to be jaded but that's from the community and not the game.

I've got $800 set aside that will be spent on this game if the CW addition makes the mode viable and fun.
Community has a definite split between old and bitter and new and entitled. Be nice if the Community Manager could do something to bring these two groups together.
