Inconsideration isn't a "casual" thing; it's an inconsiderate thing done by inconsiderate people.
That could have been bias speaking. I've seen, and even been one of those elitists that've left poorly formed groups. Once you start setting goals and guidelines for your character's development, inefficient groupings tend to make you actually FEEL yourself aging.
