I see people making negative comments about raider.io because they feel as though others are mocking or looking down on them for not having a high score.
I don't think negatively about people with low scores - as in, I don't judge them or treat them in a manner that degrades them. Neither does anyone I usually run M+'s with.
We do however use various bits of information (beyond just the overall score) from the raider.io website to assist us in selecting others for our PRE-MADE groups.
It's just information - we don't take it and apply it personally. It's just one of many things we consider when selecting people to run our keys with. Class/spec/professions/guild/server/etc. are also pieces of information that are considered.
"Your score is too low" may be a response people are getting - but if that's all someone cares about, they're not utilizing all of the information to them; although I'm sure there is some correlation between score and successful M+ run. Or maybe that's just a short and simple answer to give someone when they're trying to filter and research lots of people applying for the key.
Either way, why take it so personally?
Part of the problem I see isn't raider.io, its people not understanding how many people are applying for the same group.
Some people seem to believe when they get declined from a group, its because of their raider.io and not because 10 other DPS, very likely better geared, were in the queue with them.

most of them play this game to make themselves feel better so when you bring up their shortfalls they start spazing out
Irrational hate because they haven't earned the spot in the group as much as other people getting accepted.
Raider.io is a shortcut to deliberately exclude players that do not meet a specific criteria - a high enough score.
If you have a high enough score then there are no problems. If you don't then there are.

And if you don't you never get accepted so your score cannot get better, because you need a better score to get accepted but you don't get accepted so you can't get a better score.
It's a catch 22.
The stock answer to that is "form your own group, set your own requirements".

Step 1; Run any base Mythic to earn a keystone
Step 2; Open the Group Finder interface
Step 3; Select Premade Groups
Step 4; Select Dungeons
Step 5; Click "Start a Group"
Step 6; Create a group for the keystone you possess
Step 7; Beat the key, increase your score

It's a stock answer because it's the correct answer.

A... "dungeon class"?
What are the current "dungeon classes"?

playing a dungeon class on a dead server gets my io score artificially high

Literally all you have to do to get a higher io score is clearing mythics. Ask your friends or guild to run them with you, it's not rocket science.

yep.
we can add to it though:
join a guild
join a community
build out your friends list
join the m+ discord
If you sit back and depend on random strangers to make your groups happen, you're going to be disappointed.
They're bad but they dont want to play with bad, so they tried to break/blur the wall that separate the baddies and the good player for a chance of accidental carry (which is common in queued content like Snorefront and LFR).
They're probably one of those plebs with Honorbound TF gear that search for +10 keys when their skill level and experience is at m+2 max, this also explain those "im 370 but im stuck in +5 for 26 hours"
Bad player should play with bad player, stop trying to cross the line.
