No. This is not true for FFXIV, where most content is solo and you get your group action from a queuing tool that works cross-server. This is not like older MMOs, where servers developed real communities. It's more like MacDonald's Drive-Thru, where you queue up, do your run, then never meet those people again.
Yes but if the drive-thru is closed, you do into the store and order from the counter.
And if for some reason that's not accessible, you find your food elsewhere.

The McDrive-thru isn't the only option for you to eat. Likewise, you can find groups elsewhere in this MMO. DF is only one tool to use.

That all being said, the instance should really be added to a roulette. The Main Scenario one, perhaps.
