What is parsing?

Higher tier content isn’t hard, it just takes a group of people and time.

You are right. Though the problem is due to the low barrier of entry across the board. The game hardly does anything to push players to strive to become better. Sadly not many do harder content or try to improve without a reason. I do think that if SE slowly gave reason to players to improve they would and we could slowly raise the bar in terms of difficulty especially when it comes to being personally accountable for ones actions within a group.
