Can we please stop locking content out of DF?

And what's different than it just being in DF and doing all the listing and gathering and launching of content for you?

All the players on DF are worse than PF players any and every way possible, that seems to be the mentality on here anyway.

I guess if you're on a raiding server that may be true, but on the servers I've been on it's entirely incorrect. In most cases it's because you use DF far more, and for far more "lenient" instances like dungeons, and thus the bad experiences stick out like a sore thumb. I can tell you I've met my fair share of awful players on PF, I've had a Ninja that was doing 300 FPS in i170 gear even, I've had many, and I do mean many players who can't grasp the weather mechanics of Bismarck no matter how you explain it.

Snippet

It seems that many of the "oh noes it can't be done" folks forget that DF is slightly a gamble whenever and for whatever you run it for. Some players like myself like this about it; I believe it goes a good deal of the way in keeping content more fresh. Since every run won't be the same likely and you can go from having a top notch PUG to one that struggles a bit.

The thing is for the Q'er.. we likely already know this and accept bad runs WILL happen. I rather have a bad run with folks I had held to no expectations over a group of "elites" who make every run some scripted no fun zone and then still end up failing.. I like being powerful but I won't let min/maxing ruin my simple enjoyment of just playing. Shit if you just have to try that hard I'd say EVE Online is the place for you.. cause FFXIV is like singled layered poundcake in comparison as far as difficulty to really "endgame".
