The reason why people don't know how to do group content

    People can't work as teams because they never learnt how when leveling.

    I miss vanilla WoW. I feel the game actually took skill at that point in time. Back then you had instances that were primers for raiding. You had Stratholm, Scholomance, Lower Blackrock Spire, Upper Blackrock Spire, and Deadmines. All these places were raid instances (Deadmines will accept 10 people in it). They were something you could do with a pick-up-group and still accomplish.

    Instances while levelling were all together more important in vanilla WoW. They made people understand their class much better and learn how to work as a group. Nowadays people are generally unwilling to do 5 mans outside their own guild because they have no faith whatsoever in people that they don’t know. But the reason for this is that no one does the 5 mans while levelling. They aren’t there for no apparent reason. They are there for people to learn how to play as a team.

    So what can be done to rectify this so that people will learn how to play? Well what I suggest is that Blizzard increases the amount of experience required to level and make it that 5 mans offer much more experience for killing the mobs. Make people want to work in groups to level up faster instead of making it pointless to do them because you actually take longer to level by doing them. Doing this will increase the amount of experience people have with doing instances make it easier for people to understand end game content and all together improve the community. Because hey if everyone knows how to work as a group it should be no problem getting people together for 5 mans or even 10 man content on the fly.
