Just because something is better in comparison doesn't mean it still isn't problematic to begin with. Take it from someone that's been abused plenty of times through duty finder, experienced countless diva tanks that take a thirty minute penalty over the most minor of mistakes and all sorts of petulant behavior, most prevalent in the crystal tower raids.
Perhaps you have the privilege to play in pre-mades all the time and thus can avoid these sorts of people, but outside of that exception? The community is nowhere near as good as you're making it out to be.
