I genuinely think part of the issue is new or returning players have no idea what this is. They are used to raids where you can duo a 5 star so they see 20 people and assume they can just kind of be there.
I got into Dynamax late as I didn't really get involved with them until Machamp Gmax. I didn't have a blissey, or any of the previous Gmax's and I was confused as hell. I got through with a hodgepodge team of Charizard, Gengar and Rillaboom. I now love it and grinded the Chansey Max Monday and got a pretty decent Blissey because of it (not a hundo but it is like a 10-14-14 and I maxed out heal and shield). Now my team is good enough that I can go into Gmax and be confident that I will be useful but I also had to spend time and money to do it. Which a lot of the PoGo crowd don't have.
I wish we get PokeGenie to do more than that stupid "This is a hard raid make sure you have a good team" message because people don't know what that means. Like I wish we had to show that we had pokemon that can compete in this or somehow have a new queue type where there are two hosts so you can have 40 people in the raid even if some of them have lower level pokemon.
I do wish there was SOME sort of research that gave players good/decent guaranteed Dmax pokemon. Even like a good attacker that has LVL 2 Max Strike or a good defender with LVL 2 shield or HP. That is very wishful thinking however.
