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.
I agree, except that when I joined most of them, they were already established. Kupo was one of, if not the top LS on Pandemonium by the time I was able to join. Caffeine was as well, and Snow was already off the ground. I came in and they showed me the ropes. I didnt' join and have them expect me to have read and memorized every fight.

Same with my Dynamis LS. While we were 2nd or 3rd to beat Dynamis Lord, they were well on their way when I joined and had no problem explaining what came next.
