Question on DF expectations

[AlexionSkylark]

DF is a place where you go to CARRY people in exchange of tomes.

Simple as that. That was the intent design behind it, that's why it exists.

Trying to deny that is fooling yourself. You're there to carry the newbs and getting something in return for your trouble - tomestones.

So there's no point in expecting anything from there, you just go, do what you need to do, and if the run was fast and eventless, OK, profit. If it wasn't, it's PAR FOR THE COURSE, you just shrug it off and remember WHY you're there in the first place.

You do have an expectation though. You queue expecting to carry people. It's a cynical expectation, but an expectation nonetheless. These kind of expectations are usually manifested as a result of them previously being too high; the consistent inconsistency has them grow bitter. It's difficult to dispute this when you make claims like the intent and existence behind DF is players of greater skill are there to carry others of lesser skill. If this isn't an superiority complex, I don't know what is.

DF doesn't exist for players to carry other players. I mean seriously, what kind of Debbie-downer attitude is that? It's there for players to help each other because everyone has a reason for using the DF. Whether it's for tomes, a quest, farming glams/cards/mats/etc. everyone, and I do mean everyone queues up with the expectation to clear the instance. And from my view point, anyone with a bad attitude is being carried. Regardless of their skill level.
