Mercenaries and adventurers hang out in pubs. Picking up new party members there may not be as compelling as say, the rescue mission that led to the recruitment of Ryne, but better that and get it done fast than subject us to any more moments than necessary with the scions who've been around for 10 years. People have gotten bored of them. Keeping them around instead of introducing new characters who can deliver on fresh arcs and diverse personalities/origins wouldn't be to the benefit of the game long term.
Subjective Opinion, one that you are more then welcome to have, but thats just not how they decided to tell their story.
Ya'll can be bored while the rest of us can enjoy things. And when(not IF) they introduce new characters, they will come when they are needed and scripted to appear. No sooner, no later.
My faith in this team and game hasn't been forsaken, they keep me excited and curious at every turn.
