It's probably easy for some people to claim that the situation is 'fine' if they themselves have been lucky enough to find a reliable and consistent group to raid with. Not everybody gets that luxury however. Equally, not many raiders are willing to teach and train new blood in a way that allows for mistakes.

Ultimately, there aren't many people willing to raid compared to the number of players who don't care about raiding. So if the intention is to increase interest in tougher content, then I think it'd be good if more raiders stepped up to help people clear the content that they want to see more of.

That's just my two cents, though - as someone who loves Aurum Vale and would very much like to see dungeons that require thought and effort in order to complete them.
I think outside of crazy hardcore statics, nobody has an issue with someone new to savage. What those people have to understand though, is that it's not up to your static to teach you how to play your job. And i'm not talking about having high parses either, I'm just talking about knowing your basic rotation and stuff like ABC. You can't expect to show up in Savage and find a static if you can't even do those.

Let's not act like reading a guide, practicing your rotation beforehand and having proper gear/melds is a big ask. None of that is hard.
