Endgame toxicity

Like I said DF has been the downfall of this game, plain and simple. Back in the good old days we use to get a party together and grind away till we new the fight and beat it. There absolutely no comradery anymore in the game.....

It's not only DF, it's PF too.
I find it hysterical how people get so damn pissed off and blow a blood vessel on this game.
It's just DF should be used as practice tbh, PF is more of a safer route, but a Static is the best bet.
Doing any harder end-game content is like finding a needle in a burning haystack.
Also, people get away with sh!t so much more in DF. I always expect the worse.

Right now, developers are still learning how to make MMORPGs that work for a mass market. Originally these games were incredibly niche so things like DF and PF were never needed. In the last decade we've seen more and more games try to be MMORPGs and a bigger push towards making a game that can fetch a huge audience in order to pay for servers and make it look good to investors. In the end I personally think that trying to fit a magic shoe that will work for everyone is going to fail. Trying to make one just results in a game that is like a summer action movie: Everyone goes and sees it, then forgets about it later on.

Also, often times DF isn't even good for practice. It's just too unpredictable for most high skill encounters to be reliable for learning or clearing content.
