People really overrate how many bad players there are, and how often they show up in normal play. My guess is that the OP is tired of yet another farm party wiping, probably shinryu ex.
They don't all end in failure because people who play <20% effectiveness eventually get backpacked by others. Just the truth of the matter. Those are the players where if everyone else played at <20% like them you'd likely be unable to clear the content. So the others are picking up the slack so the group still clears.

I don't think there is as much exaggeration as you think there is. Going by my experiences over 4 years all I can say is I have seen a lot of things...things that cannot be unseen. Happens often enough where I usually worry when I have to queue for DF.

I am not talking about people not playing perfectly or anything either since no one should expect perfection, just basics at 50-70 like a tank holding hate, a healer keeping people alive most of the time, DPS who are obviously trying to do damage (IE: not just spamming one button over and over). I am a very lenient person and I don't have much expectations and my standards are quite low and yet still people have surprised me in DF often enough :/
