Unfortunately the most motivated people in a competitive scene, long term, skews towards people who never feel satisfied. 25 years of wiki knowledge for 3 years of content does indeed make things top-heavy and bottlenecked as people stop exploring and follow the known path to Desired Loots.
On blue it's not socially bad right now from my limited experience. Mostly alliances follow rules and are good sports about another guild picking up a target after a wipe, congrats and sometimes resses and ports get shared.
Where it is unavoidably toxic is physically, because there's so much knowledge that every desirable raid target is killed like minutes after they spawn. If you aren't excited about getting up at 2am because a video game needs you then just pre-emptively make your peace with never getting a chance at loot that was honestly designed to be rare and know that your enjoyment of the game will not be contingent on loot completionism
