Considering hanging up my shield due to high level haters.....

For 2.2, I had a 4 man ready to go into the new dungeons right away and that was really fun! Making 8 man parties is what we struggle with the most. Even though we have 80 in the FC, levels, schedules, and game play style vary widely. So many have gotten tired of trying to make an endgame group that they stopped trying and just use the DF now. ._. Losing confidence is a big deal too; some people just don't feel brave enough to try a particular fight after the bajillionth wipe and the frustrating struggle to get people together.

Yeah I hear you! My girlfriend always makes an alt after reaching end game (or even earlier) due to the pressure to perform well in harder content, and the resulting blow from impatient players comments.

Regarding 4 man runs. I will say that getting a FC group or PF group is certainly easier, but the hard thing is trying to get across that you wanted to not be carried through just for the clear, but instead experience the dungeon, explore it, learn it and participate. I queued for ages on PF for WP and eventually 3 ilvl90's took pity. They completely steam rolled the dungeon to the point I hardly had to think, and didn't stop at all to chat, or explore any extra area's. I asked about the last fight, should I holy or something, and they said don't worry we got it. I thanked them of course as they were generous people who believed they were doing me a favour, but honestly I would rather have just not bothered, since I had no fun.

EDIT: I know that must sound really ungrateful, but I play to play, not to clear content and collect tomes.
