I would say your experiences mirror mine. I have only been on P99 since Sept 2021 so I don't know that I have been here long enough for a historical perspective.
Need Before Greed groups are definitely not the norm from what little pick up grouping I have joined. But I would say that is also a large part of why I don't normally join those. Thankfully a few months after starting here the wife and I fell into a small guild/group of like minded individuals and that has not really been an issue.
Sometimes I get greatly appreciative messages if I run around buffing in low level zones. And then other times people get really mean if I don't stand there refreshing their DS as soon as it falls when I am semi afk or chatting in tells near a druid ring.

I hear you on the entitled / 'grabby' people re. buffs.
The guild aspect is an interesting one too though; the guild I'm in right now (shall remain nameless) is so heavily focused on raiding that I haven't been able to make any kind of solid or reliable groupies to xp with. Everything is so hardcore raiding focused that basic quests (getting flagged for Seb? need a tracker? basic stuff) Just can't be done. I had to virtually beg for help with just a tiny handful of fights for my epic (one only a single zone away from EC...... I dread to think what some people's epic fights must be like).
Despite that I've helped tonnes of other people with epic fights as a tank and as an enchanter... Perhaps all of this is just indicative of an extremely matured 'min-max' mentality that occurs around older servers.
