I pretty much doubt it. I've met plenty of nice players that were there to help, or that didn't mind waiting. Also, even if no one went there, then what? At least then the new players would have to find out how to make a party outside of the duty finder, potentially avoiding this issue (something that a lot are suggesting them to do even in the current circumstances). Keep in mind that a lot of new players just use the DF unaware of the other options, or because they didn't have the need to find a FC earlier.

Also, I've never said that it's just the players' fault, in general. We discussed this a lot back in 2013, and both SE and the players didn't do things as they should. The former for not taking into account the western mentality and always thinking the best about the players (this is not the first situation where this happens), and the later for abusing the system whenever they can.
