The experience gap is caused by impatient players who can't be bothered to teach others how to get through content, and who leave at the first sign of trouble.
I ran Longstop (Hard) with a friend via Duty Finder because we figured it would be an easy enough run and it wasn't a big deal to gather an entire party. Healer DCs, Tank decides to just leave, new healer comes around- sees there's no Tank, leaves, comes back again likely because que and leaves again when seeing it's us again. May as well had made a full party because we ended up getting people we knew to join us.

This is why I tell new players about PF and encouraging others to join a (mainly my) Free Company as well as make friends.
