Strangers everywhere u go

People in this game are so protective of their clique that if anyone new tries to assimilate themselves into tht said group they will most likely be shunned then removed.

You don't seem to understand how friendship works in a game. Its a two-way street; you give and take. In this game, that means raiding with people, helping people on dungeon runs, supplying crafts/mats or something similar. You have to prove to others that you are someone to keep around.

Being a liability, like you are as a tanky WHM, loses "friends" fast. You are causing everyone else to work harder, and people do not like that; having friends to raid with is supposed to make things easier since you aren't relying on crappy randoms, not harder. There's only so much supplying/conversation you can give before people stop taking you to dungeons/raids because you're underperforming so much.

I have a wide circle of friends and people I can call on for many things. I don't get friends for doing nothing, I get them by showing others something I can offer, and to keep them, I have to keep showing them that I am still valuable. Same things happen in real life; you don't stay friends with people just because, you have to maintain the friendship. One-sided "friendships" do not last.

Exactly...we all know that one "friend", the moocher, never buys a round, when the check comes they quibble about what they had or claims "they forgot their wallet" and then goes on a rant about tipping, If you both smoke, always asks to bum a cigarette, but when you ask they're always out, asks for rides all the time, but is always to "busy" when they're asked...And then after awhile whines when they find out they weren't asked to hang out and can't/won't understand why.
