Why do people not want to full-clear the dungeons?

I know some people will say "Join a guild blah blah."
However in my experience with mmo's, many pug's still try/want to full clear dungeons, do every boss, every room, etc.
However in this game, it seems that NO ONE wants to do this? I blame it on the fairy dust line showing you your waypoint to follow. People seem to just want to follow this line to the end.
I have gotten into many groups and told people "hey you're missing things back here, hey there's a big chest at the end you need to collect things for to unlock!"
Yet hardly anyone wants to do it. It's like they just want to rush through the dungeon to get on with it.
Anyone else encountering this problem? REally really annoying me (I know, join a guild lol), still for pugs it's even annoying.

Just to give you some faith, there are more of us out there. I love completing absolutely everything... As does my boyfriend and a few of our friends who play.
Don't worry when they get to 60 they will cry nothing to do .
BTW I'm looking for a guild that isn't focused on getting to level 60 .
PUG groups too often get the 'rush rush rush' mentality which personally I could do without. I'd much rather take the few minutes extra to properly clear a place out and gain that much more loot in the process.
This is the reason why I always go off the beaten path. you never know what might lurk around the corner and extra bonus items.
Please review my campaign and I'll return the favor.

First of all, if it's a random group then how do you know until you get into it? And you would think that the possibility of opening another chest at the end, the possibility of another decent item drop, would motivate people to full clear the dungeons.
I can understand not wanting to take the time to full clear a dungeon. I get that people want to rush through. Personally, I'm not one of those people. Cloak Tower dungeon, I've run it many times and STILL have not been able to get that final chest open. Not to mention the one or two clowns who decided to need on all the items that DID drop, so any blue I could have used was stolen anyway. Ugh, the blatant lack of common courtesy in people anymore.
Some players like to explore, but most are into power leveling. The mmo community is really not the exploring type. Mostly power gamers.
From my understanding, at least in the Cloak Tower, there is a timer which gives additional rewards if the dungeon is completed within the time frame specified. At least, that's what I'm told locally.
I've done a lot of testing, but most of it wasn't related to time to complete, so I didn't examine this side of it. It was always more along the lines of "oh, look, the boss from the lower level floated through the floor and aggro'd a second boss" or something like that.
You can't really do this though, I mean there's no way you can c lear the area's that have mobs in them alone. So you don't really get a chance to collect all the artifacts and get the chest at the end if your group isn't willing to.

Some people I think just want to get in and out as quick as possible for the Daily AD and don't care about exploring optional side areas.
Also please don't poke the mimics
It's BS from DDO...and the only cure is to run with like-minded people
Not all areas will have mobs but might have stuff people ran by previously. For example the werewolf dungeon I did. We cleared everything but left a lot of chests and stuff unopened. Tried the boss a couple times before people got discouraged and everyone left. I went back and cleaned up on the profession resources. Obviously it will depend on what your group has or has not done.

I would imagine this was people confused by the dungeon delve event. If you start a dungeon while the event is active there's a bonus chest at the end. Before the last patch this event was unclear and many people thought you had to complete the dungeon while the event was active, which is not the case. You do have to complete skirmishes while the skirmish event is active to get that bonus reward, but that's not worth knowing right now because it doesn't work and the skirmish event never gives bonus AD.
I've actually found killing most things in say the Cloak Tower really easy to do solo with just the cleric companion and a few potions, even at level 16. I can even solo bosses as long as I keep agro of her.
