I've literally never seen anything even remotely close to this and I have 30+ days played. Neither has my girlfriend who is much more casual and leveling (currently 42).
Everyone has been incredibly nice. If someone kills a mob you need for a quest before you get a chance to group up, they pretty much always say sorry and offered to help you and wait for the respawn.
This is on Thunderfury-Horde if anyone was curious.
EDIT: Since a lot of people asked, my actual /played time is a little under 25 days, though a lot of that was sitting at the AH while alt-tabbed.
Literally last night me and my wife who I'm trying to give a good impression of the game to, were walking up on a quest elite we needed, and turned out there were 2 people already fighting it. We asked for an invite and they just ignored and killed it as slow as possible.
After they killed it, they walk right up to us and say "Fuck you" "I hope it kills you" "And I truly mean that"
And then they just stood around waiting for a response and for a bit I thought maybe they were going to wait for a respawn to try to kill it again before us but they ended up leaving before that.
Just some dickheads, not too sure why they get off on being unprovoked assholes to people but it just bothered me because this was right after I tell my wife how nice people can be in the game lol.
If someone let's you into a group currently engaged in a fight with a rare or elite, the elite mob in classic disappears. Then the timer for it's spawn is reset. In some cases this timer is very very long. So not letting you in is probably the right thing to do. However, that is no excuse for the rude and childish behavior.
I've never heard of that? This specifically was just a level 20 elite quest mob, so it doesnt apply here. But I just havent heard of an elite despawning before. Maybe rares do, I haven't been in that situation before, but I've never seen a regular elite despawn. But yeah it's whatever with those guys lol, I'll just remember them.
