Good chance this is happening more often do to the Catch 22 effect we are seeing in raids and the like in most games. You have to have done the raid to go on it. You start up a training party and people don't join cause they want the easy win. Or they do join but get frustrated that people are "Learning the fights" and leave quickly.

I always tell people if I haven't done something or it has been a long time (which is a lot since I just came back =p). There still needs to be a certain lee way for teaching people how to do stuff though.

Just a friendly reminder of the basic maxim "We all had to start somewhere." as well the fact that if you teach somebody now it is one more possible person to take tomorrow.
