That's just it.

You weren't jumping into the highest level content with random players. You were jumping into a party with full expectation among all members that you may very well not succeed, but you'd figure it out and learn it together.

You can still get that. That's what Free Companies, Linkshells, and hell, even Party Finder are for.

Duty Finder is a fundamentally different experience, and while people should be helpful there, people also need to understand that, fundamentally, you all want to get through the content and should have done at least a little diligence towards succeeding, whether simply not playing like a moron in Sastasha or being aware of the crazy you're going to face when you walk into Titan EX.
