What is far less rare is a considerably more vile breed of player: the veteran that has zero patience for even the most basic instruction being given to newbies, while being all too happy to take their share of the new player bonus.
Literally haven't done a dungeon in a month (#dirtycasual), so I can't speak to how it is currently, but prior to Christmas, the number of helpful, nice people I ran into far outweighed those with shitty attitudes in terms of numbers. The vast majority of people seem pretty helpful.
Personally I have no problem allowing people with a poor attitude to die. I've done it before. It's not as easy in FFXIV to kill someone, but it's totes possible as a healer.
And if it's a Group Effort to be a total dick, I just leave. No need to subject myself to that crap.
