Helping the community is unfortunately impossible when the players refuse to be helped. You get mostly ignored, shouted at or in the more hilarious cases vote kicked by the white knights. The safe way of DFing is treating the others like bots, because anything beyond "hi and bye" is potentially dangerous thing to say. So you just suck it up, carry them through the run and leave with your tomes. Then the person becomes a problem for their next group. It is quite sad, but nothing can be done about it.

Luckily I can usually do the content with people from my FC or linkshells... but still can't help it that DF seems like it could have been working better.
