'Leaving behind' is a misnomer. These people offer levelers significantly higher 'kills per hour' due to reduced queues and larger successful pulls in spite of skipping time-wasting groups.

People less familiar with the content do smaller pulls and more pulls, full of amateur errors, wipes and vastly extended dungeon clear times, not to mention much longer queue times, resulting in fewer kills per hour.
