The funny thing is, I've seen savage party finder groups do exactly that, and what makes that work is the fact that there's some shared understanding of how the instance is going to play out: the strat, the raid plan, whatever you want to call it.

It sounds to me like the problem with Forked Tower is that premades are trying their hardest to work against the free-for-all entry system. Forked Tower doesn't have Baldesion Arsenal's fifty check boxes of, "Are you sure you understand that this is hard content??" And even if it did, random folk might show up anyway, so premades need a plan.
"Please don't snipe."
Comes across as rude and exclusionary. On the other hand:
"Hey, there's a group of us here who are all trying to join together. We've got a couple spots free, but this is like savage-level content, so if you wanna read up and join us in voice chat, that'd be great."

or

"Hey, there's a full group of 48 here. We're hoping to go in all together, but if you want to join us in future runs, check out {link}. We'd love to have you the next time around."
Apparently, we can all use shout chat to spam venue ads and carrot locations, but heavens forbid someone use shout chat to build up anything around Forked Tower.
