Now heres where the problem occurs, players expect new players to get it down perfectly, but if even one mess up happens they rage. The problem with that is than the new player begins to have anxiety, and are discouraged from doing any form of end game. Because of this, the raiding community doesn't see any new faces, and the veteran raiders can't find new players to fill up their Raiding FC, and when the veterans begin to quit, they can't find fresh blood therefore their entire raiding comp dies. Now I hear the excuse "I don't have time for this" well than don't play an MMO, they're very time consuming.
As someone who joined this game roughly a year ago, I can say with some authority that this is true. I have a quest journal full of Ex trials that I don't want to queue in DF for, because I don't want to put up with people who don't have time for new-comers. I used to be a hard-core raider in other games, but I never did understand the mentality of "I don't have time to teach a new person." It's silly, because that new person might become your most valued raid member (I've seen it happen!). It's not like taking an extra 20-30 mins to finish something is going to make a difference in the long-term.
