Yes. Yes it does. I was afraid of Duty Finder for MONTHS because of some abusive players encountered early on. The only thing that kept me even playing this game was the fact that I had some RL friends playing with me.

I always try to offer advice on everything. Today I was in a Lost City run with 3 players new to the instance. The tank was in Gallant gear, so he was pretty squishy but we took the pulls slow and it was no problem. We wiped once at the first boss, the second boss was a little slow, and we had three wipes at Diabolos. All three players were receptive to advice; one of them was helping me mark doors (I am just not very fast at it and the party had low dps so we needed three sets) and everyone was learning from each misstep and improving on the next attempt.
