I saw so much atrocious behaviour in WoW that it put me off the game entirely. It wasn't so bad before LFG; if someone was a raging jerk in a dungeon, you'd notify the rest of the server and they wouldn't get another group again. LFG erased any sense of accountability or community so it became a free for all. The toxicity wasn't usually directed at myself but seeing a new player be abused for being new made me very angry. Everyone starts somewhere.
One of the last dungeons I ran, the druid had just dinged 85. His dps wasn't great but we were doing fine. The tank voted to kick him. I asked why and he said his dps was shit. I reminded him that he'd just dinged and was trying to gear up. The tank said he "wasn't here to help people". I asked him how exactly did he gear up then and left the group.
For those reasons, I was incredibly wary of duty finder but so far my experiences have been quite pleasant. Someone always asks if we've all been here before and if anyone says no, they go through the tactics. We shrugged off any deaths, picked ourselves up and tried again.
I can only hope it stays this way.
