You mean to tell me that if you opened PF and only saw those kinds of parties as a completely new player that you would not think the end game community is a bad one? Some people might take it as a challenge, those people who can devote time towards a static however that is a dwindling percentage of people who can do that, as many of the players have jobs, families, etc. In fact its known that only 25% of MMOs players are teenages and the average age of a MMO player is 25-35, meaning 75% of the players on this game have to work, have a family, have other obligations, etc etc. That shouldn't mean that they not be able to easily access (access does not mean clear/complete) all the same content that you are paying for. Its not like those people who cannot get into a static to do these raids are paying any less than you. In fact it was part of their money that helped make said content so its the least you could do is be civil and realize that content that just hit the DF isn't going to be "experienced player only" status.

Lastly its not quite the fact that these PF groups exist as much as its the language being used, sadly though there is nothing that can change that as the anonymity of internet protects and lets people act unlike they would if in person...Its a shame that a vast majority thinks its okay.
