Why do people avoid getting better at the game?

What could change?
What incentives would be required to get people to try out new content?

A more welcoming atmosphere. People have no desire to join parties for harder content when they get judged for their skill level, holding everyone back, get called out and then people leave / the group disbands after a few minutes.

What are you considering harder content?

The only time I've seen "hard" content teams disband is when the PF is for a specific phase/mechanic and it's clear the party isn't going to reach that point. Sometimes there's a little salt but otherwise ends in "thanks for your time" and disbands.

A party disbanding after "a few minutes" is about 1 pull so I'm calling BS on that one.

Ive seen that happen more often in wow than FF14. Still, it may happen just like you said.

It usually happens in learning parties when someone clearly lied about their progress.
