Very highly dependent on streamer tho. And dependent on which area of the game.
I mean there are streamers (popular ones) that are quite literally people that got boosted. If people take those peeps as an example as to how behave in pugs then dear god we are lost. There are propper streamers that know how to play tho.
The old players are more toxic than the new ones.
Whats worse is that its not just ingame, its here on the Forum aswell.
I can promise you OP that atleast 45% of the people who replies here acts to be all
âGoodâ but when it comes to actuall Ingame content, its completely Different.
But yeah for those that says that
No it has not, itâs gotten way worse with the years.
I could tank with ease in MoP, not knowing all the tacts 100%.
I could ask the Off-tank if he knew what stack we should taunt off eachother the bosses.
Now, i donât dare to step into Tanking Raids, because it would be waaaay different.
It would play out like this
Me: Yo, at what Stack do you wanna taunt-switch?
Him/Her Going into Raid chat.
Him/Her: Yo!, can we kick the other tank?, he is clueless!!!.
So yes, for you who says its always been like this give me a break, thats a Actually weak excuse.
The thing is, Yes Newbies can join the game sure.
But as most peoples in todayâs Generation of WoW, about 80 - 85% of the players are
(Selfish - Elitelist, sees themself as the best, and everyone else sucks)
No wonder why new players donât wanna play the game, they donât feel WELCOMED
EDIT:
Whatâs even worse is that if new players decides to stay and play WoW, They will most likely join the 80-85%, making the game even more Unfriendly to new peoples, as they sees all of it to be Normal to be Selfish or being a Elitelist.
Nowhere did I said applicable to all, neither the question was about all, just how
Fair enough.
But with Streamers in general: If you take everything they say at face value then one is already lost to begin with. Even the âgodsâ are talking bull more often than not or exaggerate
Thatâs so true 
Luckily for streamers people value opinions/ personal experiences higher than some factual information. So itâs a mutual relationship between viewers and content creators 
Its a problem tho if people tend to forget that a streamer may in the first place be an entertainer and not consider that what she/he might say should be looked at with an âehhhh???â in the first place.
But oh well, thats people i suppose.
Thatâs why people elect comedians and tv celebs as presidents btw 
Fair point. But in his particular case they would have elected anyone that isnt a politician considering how fed up they were. He simply had the money to support a nationwide campaign. Not the smartest idea but ah well, i can at least somewhere deep within me understand that thought.
I am shutting up, cause itâs politics and itâs toxic anyway.
Just had a good fun overall talking to a player, not viewer 
Blizzard can revamp the leveling experience to make the game more attractive to new players and all, but it will not matter as long as the community is so toxic and unhelpful to them.
Without a harsher punishment system in place to tackle toxicity nothing will change. We could bat ideas around this post for hours but ultimately it just comes down to the fact that Blizzard has always had a very toxic community because of their ignorance towards the toxic players so the unless they impose some more serious punishments this will happen until the game ultimately shuts down.
The reason is because you canât get slapped into oblivion through the monitor, I bet in real life they are not that vocal. I look down on those people, there is nothing to them. Sad excuse for a human being, thatâs it. Like, okay, you are good (probably not) at the computer game, now you want a medal or something?
this is going to be implemented in the next patch. but im scared that it is going to get abused by booster spam and trolls
A system that lets you report players for toxic behavior and good behavior. as more reports they get the name gets red or green 
and if you try to find people for a group you only see the same coloured people in the tool
or if you helped alot of people in 1 month / 1 week and got reported very often for beeing friendly you get a special cosmetic item.
started doing mythic+ and endgame content for the first time ever since Vanilla like 6-7 months ago now. And Ooohh boy was the carnage real. The bullying, the flaming. the gatekeeping I had to go trough while learning the tactics and my class as I geared up to this point. Iâm not a new player tho, I have been around for a while just collecting transmogs and done bgâs and rp for the most part. So I knew what I was getting into when I started doing MythicsâŚ
But if I actually was a new player who just picked up this game recently? Screw this mental damage. Iâd be out of here lightning fast.
Psst, change one of your weapon enchants, those things donât stack.
I think people donât drink enough while gaming. Most of the time while Iâm playing I have a few drinks and Iâm relaxed beyoned reason.
Always felt like classic was toxic af âŚ
No? just me? I play classic daily even, leveling is dead, max level is just filled with toxic tryhards
I am all for helping new players. I will quite often Tank low level Mythics because I know about the shortage of tanks.
However, I do have one rule.
Before you enter any group situation at any level of difficulty, the absolute very least you should do is learn the tactics in preparation. There are endless resources out there, Youtube videos, Dungeon Guide, Wowhead⌠etc. There is no excuse not to and to not know the tactics is selfish.
