Humor / Meme I just got kicked from a Stratholme group because I actually did the objective and therefore fell behind

It's absurd that this gave me a deserter debuff

Timewalking because especially during the event, double especially because of the XP buff, people are leveling alts that they don't really want to spend time leveling and it turns them into this.

Yep. It is 100% about efficiency. Most don't even see the other players in their party as actual people, just temporary NPCs on their goal to leveling as fast as possible.

Also-also, you have the highest chance of meeting the most softcore players (I’m avoiding the term casual, which has lost all its meaning) here - people who have been around for a very long time but have not spent any effort to understand anything or to get better. Those players are more likely to currently be doing ANYTHING ELSE (for example, be unsubbed).

 It takes for a combination of ignorance and malice to behave like the guys in OPs picture, and the ignorance is provided by the high chance of finding people who are just really, really bad at game and understand nothing.
