Not really. Maybe a decade ago people cracked jokes about Forsaken being played by edgy teenagers or Gnomes being played by pervs, but that was it. Only stereotype today is that Vulpera are played by tumblr furries.
For a long time the stereotype was that women didn't play WoW and that belves were virtual barbies being played with by guys. Again, no one really cares anymore.
Way back in Vanilla to Wrath, getting a fancy armor set was prestigious and indicated that you were either a top PvPer, or you were a raider. Nowadays you can get fancy looks for doing nothing, so the only way you will look like a newbie is if you have literally just started the game and you're wearing the starter zone gear.
