In your typical dungeon in WoW, you enter a Queue and get randomly assigned to group with 5 strangers and teleported straight to the entrance. They've all done this one 500 times, they just need the 3 (currency of the day) to get an epic item, which costs 5,000 imaginary dungeon points. They don't have time for noobs like you. They're random strangers from other servers and you'll never see them again and you can't trade items or money with them if you are new and they have something they could use. Say you mess up and do something that's not perfect, they'll vote to kick you for increasing their grind by 1%. You'll get teleported out of the dungeon instantly with no warning, just "you have been removed from the group".

This is exactly why I quit WoW. I was horde side on a server with an alliance to horde ratio of 3:1. Needless to say the horde side knew each other well because we'd know who we were in terms of PvP experience together and stuff like that. So you do your dailies and they suddenly add this bullshit where battlegroups or whatever they called them (put your server in a pool of 9-10?)...totally killed the community.
Battlegrounds were suddenly full of idiots who didn't know the basics (we always taught anyone new about not zerging in Arathi Basin etc), and generally speaking the "community" we knew was gone, because people would auto queue for instances, and work with people of other servers they wouldn't see again...so why bother talking to them?
I wasn't much of a forum user but I did go and protest why Blizzard wanted to kill communities in the name of faster pvp (we had instant BG queues anyway, and often alliance would come over to beg us to queue up)/instance queues. Where are you now, World of Warcraft? Where are you now?

To be fair I think the sight of kung fu panda would have had me laughing my way to the unsub button anyway but you can see why vanilla WoW has such a following still.
