Are high lvl players normally rude?

I wouldn't say it's a trait unique to high level players. Any manner of players can be rude and uncommunicative in a run. But there are a fair number of endgame players who have several roulettes to get through, not just the one dungeon, which can explain but not excuse their poor attitude.

I tend to go with what the whole group wants. If someone asks for a full clear I'll ask the other two people if they're okay with that. If they are, we'll explore the whole map for you.

This type of experience that the OP is posting about is probably the main reason that past a certain point all new dungeons are linear and abandon the "exploring" options.

But parties still find a way to "speed" it up by creeping past certain mobs (looking at you slumbering dragons)...

The DPS also joined and started saying the same stuff. About what percent of people are like this?

Unfortunately some players are like that. They tend to be the players who run the same things over and over and over to farm them for whatever item/bonus/currency they need. Speed and efficiency is all that matters to them.

Fortunately, most people are NOT like that.

Personally I'll ask at the outset if we want a full clear or just a run through whenever I see we have a 1st timer in the group, or a sprout. If there is no answer, I'll start off slow, just in case someone is thinking it over. But, I'm not a speed runner, nor do I spend my time burning out by farming content.

I wouldn't really characterize someone saying they don't want to do what you want to do as rude. However, there's really no incentive for a level capped character to full clear dungeons most of the time, so I wouldn't count on said players to want to spend a significant amount of extra time to make sure the dungeon is fully cleared just so you get a bit more XP or whatever.

It really depends on the wants and needs of a player, imo. You can't just single out someone as rude because they said something rude to you. I mean... maybe they've been in that dungeon 1000 times and you don't know it. Not everyone is helpful but some are. This game's endgame has some notorious players and when you are at endgame and have a noob in the dungeon I wouldn't be surprised if you did the very same thing you are complaining about.

Well, not all high level players are rude. In that case you just had people with you, which want to get through the dungeon quick. They want to do other things too. The rude thing here is not to answer you in the first place and attacking you by just getting the most experience you can get from the dungeon. It's a selfish behaviour of people, cause they just need the clear not the experiences. So you can expect that kind of acting, but other players are helpful and don't are locked behind a actual working schedule for a game. So expect that too and just ask the next party again.

But for some examples, why people act that way here are some things why they are doing it:
1. They want the Tomestones of Lore for their Relic.
2. They want Singing Clusters for their Relic and for that they want to clear a low level dungeon fast, cause its boring to them.
3. They are mentors addicted to the fact there is a huge mount waiting if they cleared instances 2000 times. With that number in mind they wanna save every minute, to get another clear during the day.

Thats the main reasons I guess. No loot is waiting for high level players in dungeons like sastasha or haukke manor, which they couldnt get with the undersized option.

What are you exactly referring to?
The part, where the other 3 people in the party were not interested in exploring and therefore went on?
Or the part where they acted stupid and called OP rude for asking?

I agree to the 2nd part, but think "rude" is the wrong wording, since it is just generally silly.
But how is it rude if they simply don't want to explore the whole dungeon? ._.
