Ive seen more casual everyday players have a problem with it. The truth is you will find this type of person all over the world.

What I normally say to those interested in joining a Static:
- The Pros of a Static? is a Static!
- The Cons of a Static? is a Static...
The reoccurring problems I witnessed with joining or helping plenty Static groups who predominantly only play with their Static members, is often an unwillingness to adjust to their local DataCenter Partyfinder preferred strats due to the bubble they created by only playing with each-other which can lead to a Hivemind / Ego, but not all Statics are like this. When 8 Static members are online its fine, but when a sub/pug needs to fill in or a static member leaves? that 1 new member has to very often adjust to the Static, and to often? without forewarning as well... if the Static cannot do or doesn't want to do the PF/DC standard preferred way of doing things.
You might have heard the phrases before like " Our strat is so much easier/better/safer ", says the Static that are struggling to clear with the better working strat they are doing... skill-issues or not... Whilst blaming the 1 pug or new member in their separate Linkshell chat to the static that can't adjust asap.
- One party member adjusting to 7 players is one thing
- Expecting an entire Datacenter to adjust to 8 players is another
Some very obvious Solutions and things I learned along the way?
- Avoid players who value parses highly
- Leave asap if you're the pug & having a bad experience
- Don't stay stuck in a bubble, expose yourself to PF/Discords etc
- Free Time? Test the strats the Static is mocking
Great if you can be a good Static Member in a good Static. But there's a benefit to being a flexible player to be able to join any party? over relying on a Static with Static Strats to get what you want cleared or done, mhm.
