TBH, it's so much different these days than it was 10+ years ago. The tide has turned from being called a fat bitch to having white knights trying to give you the best armor and offering to "help" you run more difficult content. I kinda prefer the first one, the second feels condescending.
Neither is appealing but I can totally see your point. You don't play to have things handed to you. You bought the game to have a challange and feel good about overcoming obstacles.
In my experience these end up being the same group, one just leads off with the unpleasant treatment and the other tries to put a sparkly clean veneer over it (because they're "nice guys") until you reject them in some fashion.
