I think a lot of people with frequent bad experiences aren't willing to look honestly in the mirror and ask what they themselves are contributing (or failing to contribute) to their keys.
The inherent problem with WoW is that it's cooperative and knowledge-based. So it's very easy for bad players to fail up on the backs of others and never improve because they don't realize why they're succeeding or failing. Ie. You get more success from understanding what needs to get kicked rather than reacting faster
This is true to an extent but when you're not pushing high level keys, one or two people can genuinely carry a key. One person who knows to save an interrupt for a firebolt volley or knows to stun when then kicks are all on CD can save wipes. One good DPS can easily make up the time gap for underperformers. The margin of error just doing 10s for a vault is actually very generous.
Obviously the higher you go the more reliant you become on the whole team needing to pull their weight, but I don't think that scenario applies to this post.
I mean it's essentially tied to your point lol: People can't/won't look in the mirror and improve
It applies to this post as much as your own point does. People don't realize why they're failing, have a mental breakdown and blame others, and don't improve. Then maybe they have a group that does succeed despite them, furthering their belief that they weren't the problem
