I guess that's the problem with Light and Odin imo. Heavy degree of inbreeding on the raid scene with the same groups shuffling people between them endlessly. if you're on their good side you have access to linkshells and Discord channels and might get something going but if not it's like screaming in space. It usually ends up being the same leftovers like myself pugging and the level is not anywhere near Japanese politeness or patience (as the game is probably intended and the way it is in Japan with a huge well functioning pug culture).

I'm thinking learning French and trying the cultural clash on Chaos is actually a better bet than Odin atm since it has really turned into a sacred institution with power structures rarely changing.
