It's a chicken and egg problem.

The majority of experienced players will be loath to invite some random person in. Experienced players are far more likely to farm with each other. If an inexperienced player jumps in (usually if there are 4 experienced players, often from the same guild or are close friends and there is an open spot), they are usually awed by the effectiveness of the team, but fail to draw any long term lessons. Said inexperienced player usually spends most of their time with other PUGs, which shapes their expectations of a team.


Sadly, the percentage of players that actively aspire to use game mechanics to their advantage is a small, elite minority.
