People were absolute jerks at ARR launch. Back when you'd get 1 gil at most from dungeon mobs and gil was hard to come by and Titan Hard was relevant new content, people wouldn't want to eat the quit penalty and would continually pull the boss and wipe the group so someone would quit out of sheer frustration of eating costly repair bills.

It's not a new or recent thing for people to behave poorly. And so long as the game is set up so your character reputation doesn't matter (and it really doesn't with cross-server duty finder and reputation only really mattering for raiding), nothing's going to change.
I don't agree with you. I think that if we want to change things in our area of the world, and in our gaming communities, we need to stand up for negative behavior. It doesn't mean being a keyboard warrior, a political correct monster, or a white knight, it just means that you are proactive in holding up good values. That means you act the way you want to be treated, and you stand up for negativity when you see it. Be the light you want to see in the world, and more will light up in front of you. Not everything is going to change, but this world IS governed by people, and as a result you'd be surprised at what you can influence.
