It's impossible to find a group that will even give you the time of day if it's your first time doing a fight, people just want easy mode. The whole if you die, you're out mentality is completely retarded ontop of that, these fights are a little over a week old and people are just starting to hit endgame that didn't rush to 60. (Unlike me.. /cough ) But seriously? I've beat Bismark EX once, and it was at ilvl 160, and we had no serious issues, took a couple of tries, but we did fine, now people just seem to be wanting a group to easily carry them through these primal battles? I tried one of the Ravana EX groups earlier (One with the 3 strike rule) Leader died 8 times and was probably the worst geared of everyone there.

Is this just a problem on my server? or is FFXIV endgame's community really this bad, and new-to-endgame hostile?

Also, SE this isn't twitter+, 1000 characters is kinda hilarious..
