It's made roulettes pretty terrible though. I don't mind sprouts, but seems like a good chunk of them can't handle any advice even when they're doing inanely stupid stuff. Then you have the boosters that jump into level 70+ content without a clue. Duty finder always gets pretty bad in the x.5+ patches, but it's a whole other level right now.
For anyone that hasn't dived in and here about the "great community", think of the complete opposite of Wow. Instead of toxic elitists, it's a severe case of toxic casuals. At least 25% of the people you will come across do the absolute bare minimum (good chunk of people watch Netflix while playing -- if you need to watch Netflix while playing, you're obviously not enjoying the game so why play?). Any attempt at advice to get them to do more than pressing a single button every 5 second will get you called toxic and/or kicked a lot of the time even if you're carrying their lazy butts through the content. Sad thing is, most of the time, it's long time players that do this so they really have no excuse.
I've been forced to take more advantage of my alts lately. You get a 30 minute penalty for dropping an instance, but instead of fighting or getting reported, I just drop now when I get these players. Often times, their only "defense" is "Chill. It's just casual content". Yep it is, and you're doing damage that was pitiful two expansions ago.

Don't get me wrong. It's generally a fun game and has a great story, but the player base will leave you just speechless at how terrible they are
