The cycle of disbanding that keep casuals from doing content

[Kallera]

...
You are ignoring it, it's literally one of the reasons why you think new players are "Oh so persecuted".

There is a fundamental distrust among players that the game has fostered through its approach to content. In xi, I didn't have to deal with the drill sargeant,I could join a different linkshell and still do endgame activitIES.

Here, it is 1 activity, and a growing part of content that is walled off by a combination of player expectations, jumping ship, and team jump rope mechanics. Its setting people against each other as there is story, requirement, and loot behind it. And it has continued to render FCs and LSes unable to assist, except by conforming to the lockout. Meanwhile, clears are sold, videos and prior clears are demanded, "The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer," and then comes content outside the raid catering only to the rich...

I'm not saying it is the fault of one group of players. I'm saying it is the combination of content development, and the responses of the populace that is causing this contention.
