But, who cares about the people that don't want to take an hour to get through something that should have only taken 30 minutes or less, right? Who cares if they don't have fun either because some people refuse to improve and instead, weigh down the shoulders of the players that do care, and then they themselves decide to leave because they're tired of carrying bad players?

This community won't turn into CoD, LoL, or Overwatch. It'll turn into a dead game where casuals can't get through content anymore because all of the dependable people left for greener pastures and refuse to put up with it any longer.

Either that or they complain to make it easier towards the point that just logging in gives you crap.
You don't lie, you just don't go around calling bad to anyone. If it's a player who is part of your static you talk to them and politely tell them they are not pulling their weight, so you either give them a chance or kick them from your group. If it's a PF party, you might want to kick the person right away. If it's a random player in a dungeon and they are underperforming (a rather ambiguous term because what's underperforming for you might be playing ok for someone else but whatever) you either give them friendly advice or ignore them. Friendly advice isn't telling them they are bad. What are you even trying to accomplish by telling someone they are bad? At best you'll get a deserved spot in their blacklist.
