I've been a bit over 6k and I've never felt worse. I definitely wouldn't stop.
Someone got funny vision on the way up and all I thought at the time was, "cool. Now fuck off so we can get on with this miserable experience." There was also an insanely chirpy Dutch guy who kept using typical British phrases and sayings. If I'd had the energy I would have definitely killed him.

Well, this is the thing. Some people, a small number, do help. It's personal choice. I've never been higher than 5,000m so I have no direct experience but I suspect I'd be a pass on by sort of chap.
For what it's worth, everybody is dying at that altitude. You're on a countdown timer and you don't know when yours will run out.
