We also prefer it if you queue up through the Discord to give everyone a fair chance. Jumping into a portal randomly might not be the best way to learn or to progress due to being unable to appraise logograms or switch jobs inside.
Person : UHHHHH no thanks elitist! Portals don't belong to you! Stop being toxic!!!!! I'll never finish BA because of these elitist gatekeepers!!!
Discord : But we invited you-
Person : ELITIST!

Also, have you considered people can lie? You do know that people are actively going out of their way to try and tear down the Discord because they are spiteful?
Looking through these various threads that's not really true, as while you have people making the discords sound nice, you then have people claiming to be from the discords join in saying things that make the discords sound like really unpleasant places. If everyone was like you lay out there then we would have a lot less of these threads.
