my only point is if you consider something work and a group of people consider it fun and expect people to play that way then that's just not the group you should be playing with. it will only cause drama in the long run because you will never convince them you are right and they will never convince you that you are wrong. you just look at something different than they do. there's absolutely nothing wrong with either point of view.

more than anything there are many different types of people in game and if people look hard enough they will be able to find people with similar views to them and be able to get things done. there's no need to join this super special end game shell if their play style does not match what you are looking for in the game.
It feels as if we're saying something very similar.

In the end that's really what the OP needs to take away from this.

There are people for her, she just needs to find them. Sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes it takes a while.

It sounds like a cop out, but this is a social game above all else. Learning to play with other people is tough. That's why when players find those people that jive well with them they tend to hang onto them.
