Is anyone else bothered by the lack of incentive for mediocre players to improve?

I would like to share a scenario that happened to me on Titan HM,

My character was a Level 50 Paladin,Was acting DPS for my relic, Probably one notch undergeared, I watched video probably 5 times,
Wiped in P/U groups many times, and through the kindness of someone in my FC they gathered a proper group and we went in...
I made it all the way to the beginning of phase 5 and got taken out, so i'm watching and 30 secs another gets taken out and this happened down to 5 members left, their skill truely showed and I'm very grateful to them(They actually did it!)- so much so that at the very end I felt a little guilty.
It occured to me later that if I would have been resurrected once I would have made it, it also occured to me that I was doing quite well until phase 5, so with all these facts I would like Everyones opinion on this (especially Yenns),-I do plan on going back till I feel I've performed through the whole fight,do I deserve my relic or no?
