The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

I doubt this is the case.
SoF has a learning curve. People who are legitimately new to it will wipe at least once. The problem is people going into SoF drop when they zone in, or drop after 1 wipe, so there's no opportunity to learn for them with one consistent group.
Plus some people just don't care. They want to finish fast and move on. SoF doesn't have any tangible reward after the first time other than tomes, so there's not a lot of drive there.

Some of us wiped to it far more than once, and with people who wouldn't listen if you threw the damn instructions up on neon signs.
