Why do you let that affect yourself though?
If you dont wanna watch a guide on day one, you can set up a PF for a blind run a month later and see if there are (enough) people enjoying the game the same way you do - or you outright surrond yourself with such people.

I laugh a bit at the people demanding to have watched a guide on day one because they're probably gonna have trouble (or not) to fill their group, but thats about it. I'm not concerend or dishearted if people enjoy this game a different way than I do (as long as they stick to the rules of the game, obviously).
If someone needs to have cleared everything 2 hours after the patch dropped - cool.
If someone wants to take it more slowly - cool aswell.

I think the "guide on day one"-PFs are a bit silly too, but if it works for them... it works for them and has no negative impact on my enjoyment of the game - if I dont want to watch a guide on day one, I can make my own PF a week later.
If enough people share my idea of enjoyment - I'm lucky.
If not, the others are.

People want to play new and exciting content and for longterm people that means: the new patchstuff. It also means that they probably went through at least a month of content that started feeling stale and outdated so they're hungry and excited and will jump right in. Usually you'll see threads complaining about the lack of content or "I unsubbed and this is why"-rants a few weeks before the next patch hits.
People want to play the game, but they cant stand to repeat the same fights over and over anymore, so when there is new stuff...
