So in essence, the game itself promotes a relaxed mindset, personally I find that refreshing. If you want a real challenge, you have to go look for it and find likeminded people, which imo is an elegant solution.

Not everyone can improve. Not everyone wants to improve. Some are new. Some have returned after a long break. Some people will burn all that motivation on their job already and just want to log on and not get more hassle thrown their way. Some are a bit older and don't have the best reflexes (anymore). Some are tired cause they have small children, a demanding job, a migraine. Some suffer from anxiety, depression, you name it, and are not feeling at their best.
If people are not feeling up for playing or have a RL issue which is impeding on them being able to perform in group content then they should logoff instead of slowing down the party. People may not pay other’s sub but they pay their own and want to be able to play with the time they can.
