Which is fair enough, never seen that post before but it's vague at best. I agree with the whole "it's all down to the GM at the time". I feel that a report here will stick but who knows eh?
I feel that if you're not going to bother joining or creating a party through PF to do stuff then expect to fail in DF. Because the system favors random players going in completely blind, whereas the PF system favors those who wish to tailor their party to their needs.
It's that simple. Until there is a system that allows you to choose who you group with in DF (bear in mind you'll prob have to wait much longer) then you're going to have to suck it up I'm afraid.
