    Let's play the foresight extremes game:

    "Just run stuff with your FC or people on your level" - Everyone isolates themselves in statics and FCs and avoids DF/PF, players not in FCs (they don't HAVE to be in an FC/static, right?) are unable to clear anything and stop trying, queues get longer, content dies.

    "You're part of the problem." (For expecting a reasonable standard) - People who CAN see the issue fall silent or move on, the blind start leading the blind, no one's able to clear anything and stops trying, start avoiding DF/PF, queues get longer, content dies.

    "Teach them." - Player tries to teach, gets ignored or attacked with self-righteous "I pay my sub, I play how I want" tripe, stops helping, avoids DF/PF, helpful players decline, blind leads the blind, no one's able to clear anything, queues get longer, content dies. . .

    Stop me when it starts sounding bad!

    . . . I'm aware SE isn't privvy to do much about an issue largely rooted in player mentality and etiquette, but there ARE some gaps where a certain degree of follow up is safe to be expected in order for players to flourish, and they just. . . don't. Something's got to give.
