As stated previously, much of the problem stems from the attitude. You want people to do content with, but the "elitists" don't want to take the time to groom newer players or players trying to get into content for the first time.

I experienced this in every MMO I have ever played and over time I made it my mission to be that person that helps to groom so called "bads" into effective raiders. It can be done if you approach it properly.

A brilliant example is a guild I used to be part of in the game which will not be named had one elite raid group. No one else in the guild got to enjoy the content because they didn't want to open up one or two spots to help get others ready so I decided to form a group of non-geared newer to raiding players to make our own group. I even shouted in General chat to add people since we were short. It eventually became a weekly group with no heavy obligation as if 1 or 2 couldn't make it we could grab someone else who was new and start them on the path to raiding.

In the end we became wildly successful and downing most if not all of the endgame content available and eventually passing the "elite" raid in progression. How is this possible they thought... they're a group of "bads"?

Well it just comes down to good teaching and the willingness to learn along with a passion for fun and no name calling, yelling about mistakes etc.

TL;DR: People keep mistaking lack of experience for being bad and then wonder why there aren't any experienced players 2 weeks after launch and they don't want to help people get experienced.
