There are people on both sides who need to adjust their expectations. Not saying you are one of these people, just speaking generally.

And some people need to accept the fact that bad players are unavoidable. They're in every single game. Sure it may suck if you feel that you can't criticise them openly due to how SE views harassment, but lets face it; those who want to learn will learn at some point with or without your input, and those who don't won't ever improve no matter what they're told. And anyone who thinks being able to openly criticise would improve things I can tell you from my time in WoW being able to openly criticise people doesn't magically make the playerbase more skilled. There are plenty of terrible players in WoW.
True, everyone learns differently and at different speeds, some try to improve and see very little results while others just flat out refuse. You're also right that those players will always exist, and with the player base growing they are becoming more common. however I don't believe that expecting a level 80 player to know what a stack marker is wrong, that being met with hostility for offering advice to someone who repeatedly fails mechanics is somehow ok or even accepted, that being fed up and speaking out about that subset of the playerbase somehow puts you in the wrong.

I used to really enjoy helping out new players back during ARR and HW, now I rarely even bother as it hardly seems worth the time to try.
