Part of the problem is, when you go and form parties with players on your server, it builds community, you know your players, you know their skill, you know who they are, you know if they are jerks or whatnot. When you group of with random players, a lot of players don't care how they act, are complete jerk because they figure they will never see you again. They vote kick if you question then and most of the time the vote is passed because people don't care they just want to hurry up and get it over with. You want to play with a good community, and to build this I would stick with players from my own server.

The immersion aspect is also important, it is kind of lame when your Queue pops and you just appear in the instance ready to fight and get gear. In wow so many people have no idea where instances are any more, they know if they just press the dungeon finder button they get easy loot. When you don't get auto teleported around players explore the world.
MMOs are like theme parks, and if they have an option that lazy players are willing to skip to save some time, the world becomes a lot smaller to them.

They are cheated themselves out of the MMO experience by not playing the game because they are "too lazy".


I hope that makes sense I do understand a content find is what a lot of mmos are moving toward, in theory it is good, but in practice it stagnates the world.
