However I wish to also add that if you're struggling with t5 you're gonna love the attitudes and environment of t6-9. At least for t5 you can use DF to assemble groups,which from my experience once started people will rarely leave on their own unless it's clear that the group is totally hopeless(thanks to the penalty incurred),this in contrast with the later coils which people just up and leave whenever their ego kicks in or maybe just want to troll,and just plainly rejected out any group with 100 sol message.

I don't know if the same can be applied to your server but in my case I just keep trying at DF until I got it. A few times you got jerks who try to start a witch hunt and asked to be kicked out when they saw "100" but in the end I finally got a group competent enough to clear it. If I have to say DF played a significant role in allowing new players a shot at attempts since it bypass a lot of unsavories you found in PF.
