I'm gonna bite, because I'm tired of this sentiment.

This game is pretty casual friendly. If you're expecting Savage/Ultimate level play in DF, you're playing the wrong game.

Most players, in general, are not that terrible. You just tend to REMEMBER the bad ones, and not all the times everything went completely average and normal. You are going to find terrible players, there is no denying that, but THAT IS LIFE. You will ALWAYS find people, no matter where you go, who care only about themselves, lack awareness, and have no desire for self improvement. You're not going to escape that entirely. EVER. Once you accept that and get beyond unreasonable expectations, you will indeed see most people are pretty okay overall. Some need a lot of help, some are new and inexperpeinced, some people are having fun and may not realize they're below some standard the game never made clear to them, etc.

If you want to fix the problem, HELP. Complaining about them doesn't resolve your issue. Better to get told to get lost than to do nothing. If you don't at least make an ATTEMPT to remedy a problem, even when you have the ability to, you're going to reap what you sow.

My logs aren't hidden. I do savage content. I'm not going to proclaim I'm a particularly excellent player, because I'm not. I care more about having fun with the game and my raid group than shoving superiority into people's faces.

But do I have over 7,400 duties under my belt on my main character (of three) ALONE. That's at LEAST 2,400+ more than OP. I put in the time for the 2,000 mentor roulette and have myself an Astrope (and yes, I did stick out every attempt at EX primals in Mentor roulette). I've done a crapload of content in this game. There are 7 duties I never finished or completed just after they were lockout removed/not longer current: Both Ultimates, A4s, A7s, A8s, T5, and T9 (not interested in Ultimate, Alex was static nightmare, and T5 and 9 completed within the week of lockout removal). I've played with a wide variety of players, in premades, pugging in party finder, and duty finder.

It's fine to have standards. But you don't get to be in charge of the "rules" of what is and isn't acceptable any more than I or any other player does. Party not to your liking? That's what the leave duty button is for. Someone being completely awful? You've got the kick and blacklist buttons.

You either deal with what you're given, or forfeit the time (and the potential rewards) you wasted backing out. If you chose to do nothing to TRY to improve the situation as a whole via teamwork (what a concept, right?), then you have no one to blame but yourself when you end with an unfavorable outcome.

This is a GAME, not a competitive sport or a contest.
