once that's gone all bets are off, though I find the returner status is often ignored despite filling a similar role of telegraphing "hey i probably don't know things".

Savage/EX content is an exception since it's hard content for everyone and implies/demands a certain level of preparedness and technical skill, which is why [duty complete] exists to help separate that iirc.
It's infrequent, but when someone in WoW gets mad it's usually a meltdown, and that can at least be funny.

What this game has is far more frequent instances of people taking snotty little cheap shots at new players, being passive aggressive and just having crappy attitudes in general. Maybe it's just me, but I find that kind of thing way more annoying. From the beginning there's been something about this community I just don't like, and it hasn't changed much over time.
