Are people really that nice?

Sample size you gave is too small and too random and does not sync up with the title.

Well what I'm saying is that Green is generally known or stereotyped as a care bear's paradise and I'm starting to disagree with that - based on my personal experiences. I'm just keen to hear how other people feel.

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.
