You're in the wrong place, then.
This server is largerly (say 95%?, and yes, I'm being objective) occupied by backpedalers who cannot comprehend pretty much anything that includes common sense or logic. Of course, there are a few exceptions to that, and there are a few decent people around who may not be completely trashy, but in the end, you will be largely disappointed when dealing with the vast vast majority here, which is inevitable so-to-say in any case.
Now, I can not objectively speak about the PvE sphere, although as far as PvP situation goes, and since you mentioned ratings, there is nothing too much competitive, either. There isn't enough people interested in PvP regard to begin with. Look at last season's rewards: top20 CHALLENGER title, I believe that sends a message on it's own.
Conclusion, you may or may not enjoy your stay, but I'm positive to say you are very, very unlikely to find just one player who would be even close to your above-described potential, let alone a group/raid which doesn't consist of jesters who are quote "new to the game".
I'm sure you should have observed a little bit on your leveling to draw your own picture, though, anyways.
