The problem is the mindset of people. You're not SUPPOSED to get 13 primal ancient items before you push. Primal items are just a bonus. If you get one - gratz! If you don't, you'll still be able to achieve whatever you want. Ancients are so important because they allow you to augment an item or run LoN, and the weapon alone enables about 1-2 tiers higher.
But I don't have a solution for that. People are so focused these days on what they *don't* have, instead of being happy about what they *do* have. I hope Challenge Rifts and other changes in the future change things about in Diablo. Right now the game is so freaking awesome, but people just destroy the game for themselves by looking at it in a really weird (and in my opinion wrong) way.

Make bounties only SOLO play. I think this is the best solution. simple.
