There's deliberately wiping a group - that's called trolling.

And then there's entering a group that the game itself tells you you qualify for, and having 47 people accuse you of being inconsiderate for not "being at their level."

Whose level? What level is "good enough"? Group A told me it was level X, but Group B told me it was level Y, but group A has 6 players BELOW level X who are real-life friends with the mod of their Discord, and Group B says I meet the requirements in ONE class, but not another, and am therefore a d-bag! What's the socially agreed-upon metric? What's that, there ISN'T one? It varies from group to group?

But the game said I could enter! With randoms! For fun!

What you're putting forward here is that someone has a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to keep track of 47 other people's individual progress, any potentially-random group's total POSSIBLE progress, and also potentially just PSYCHICALLY know to already be in their Discord before clicking on an open-to-all instance and, if they don't, THEY'RE the jerk.

C'mon, man. We all KNOW the difference, here.

Ganging up - with 47 others, no less - and railing on Timmy The Newb for being a morally reprehensible excuse for a human being just because he had the temerity to click the "enter" button to try the thing the game told him to try is not somehow "morally right" because your group is bigger than his group of 1.

I get that you're trying to convince yourself that enough people are SAYING that it's okay to treat someone that way to make yourself feel better about doing it - but it's not.
They aren't treating anyone poorly, they simply requested that the other player not take the place their groupmate would have filled.
