When is it OK to say, "It's Not OK"

[HakuroDK]

This is an MMO. You are absolutely required to network with other players if you want to make meaningful progress.

Or DF all day then come here and complain about how the game is broken (hint: it's not).

That's a lie. Even through networking (I belong to a raiding LS out of sheer desperation to clear content I cannot otherwise clear), I have not succeeded at T5 or even Moogle Mog EX. Ever. Not one time.

It's very easy to say "Just find a raiding party and go with it," but to actually find one willing to take someone who has never beaten T5 is like finding a needle in a haystack, and starting a raid static is even harder and takes up a lot more time, because you have to actively seek out people who either have not cleared the content you have or will help you clear that content, and very few people are willing to help strangers in an MMO.

It just feels rude whenever I hear that it's my fault that I can't find a group to clear with despite constantly trying to find one, as if I run DF once, wipe once, quit, and then come onto the forums to cry about my problems like some extremely delicate flower. How dare you? I mean, you'd think with as many people voicing complaints about it, that there would need to be some kind of change, right? Or do you somehow think that we're all lazy good-for-nothings who expect to win without effort? Because I sure as hell do not expect to win a hardcore fight without wiping at least six times prior. Because hardcore content is supposed to be hard. But if I can't find a group of players committed to the long haul with the ability to adapt strategies to match the boss mechanics, then how in the hell is that my fault?
