The dirty little truth that some refuse to face is the simple fact that they are unwilling to put in the effort to receive the reward they think they are entitled to.

It's not the contents fault, its not their parties fault. It's solely their own lack of effort. We all have the same access to the same content. We all get the same random assortment of good and bad DF party members unless we took the time to form our own groups.

The only constant across all groups and content is ones own effort.

Once you decide to finally face that truth, maybe, just maybe you will also realize there is nothing wrong with not handing out rewards for failure.
