Why keep DF off of new content?

I agree with some of your points. But you say it being in DF would open it up to all players, but really it is already open to everyone. You can set up a party in PF and go in? You might be joined with people already in a static who want to practice, but on the other hand some of those might stay away just in case you did down it and then they would lock out their static members from a chest when they came to run it for the week or whatever. You never know, you might meet people that are in the exact same situation and be able to start building your own static if that's something you are looking to do (I haven't read back very far in these comments, dunno if you are or not). This is what happened to me back in SCOB, I had no static so could only run via PF. I did that, and in one group someone said I seemed to know what I was doing and they had a space in their static they were trying to fill.

but in regards to why it isn't in DF, honestly I don't know. I don't think many groups would have success if it were, but it really is anyone's guess why SE haven't made it available this way

Well you are 100% true the DF horror stories come from non japanese data center simply due the way DF is getting seen by the different people.
In Japanese datacenter it is basically bring your A game, do no fuck around so you don't waste others time and use party finder to practice. I watch a couple Japanese streams and when i see titan ex getting 1shot from df i somewhere die a bit inside.
on NA/EU the general idea is DF is for practice, you don't need to know anything, and can fuck around and party finder is for serious mode.

So of course you are going to get a different opinion but in no way the people that claim it wouldn't work are "baseless"
They base it on their own experience, it's just that we all have a different one.

In short, it might work in Japanese data center, but it would be an utter disaster anywhere else.

I thought i made some very valid points and was mostly ignored. Seems to me that people are picking which arguments they want to comment on and which not. The points i made were valid, and SE's team has taken a lot of things into consideration when they make these decisions. They look at it from the entire communities angle, and feel this is best.

Baseless? I see df groups fail the dps check on Faust every week...in normal mode.

I've quite literally never seen that happen before. (Out of approx. 60 runs since Alex NM came out)
