I am cautiously optimistic about this. I think MMOs could in theory really shine in vr, though so far they haven't been all that great, often relying on old and tired tropes.
A meadow with mobs evenly distributed that have a sight range of a few meters is something that I have a much harder time immersing myself into in vr.
Couldn't what we typically call concern trolling be a type of toxic empathy? Of course you could make an argument that concern trolling is entirely removed from empathy, but then things like toxic positivity tends to only be positive at a very surface level view.
