The cycle of disbanding that keep casuals from doing content

[Yukiko]

The first 100 tries it is fun to help out, even strangers,
the next 100 tries it becomes routine and you begin to become unpatient,
new 100 tries and still not getting the "reward" (mirror, mount or whatever), frustration grows inside you,
again 100 tries and you become unpolite and only join win-groups,
last 100 tries to realize that you hate the content and you will never see it again, nor help anyone!

Ancient gear trade in for ilvl 90 is a good idea, so you just have to roll against 3 others, but still you need the LUCK to even get a drop and in add to that you need the LUCK to get the piece you need (head, body, shoes,...)
As long as it is just a grindfest, the situation will not change! Garuda 1.x was a good way to satisfy players and players helped each other, we didnt have any lockouts either to be forced statics... it was fun!

Edit: the elites just calling for harder content and are already bored with new coil... you get the picture?
