I think fair or unfair is just a really alien concept to me in this sense. If someone is afk, or obviously trolling, sure I don’t appreciate that. In all other cases I’ll assume they’re trying, and when it’s great, wonderful, and when it’s not, we’ll be alright anyway. I understand the necessity of gatekeeping actually hard content, and expecting a certain amount of competence there. But if it’s not hard, if it’s laughably easy as so many suggest with DF, why worry so much about carrying someone?

If it’d be someone you like, you’d probably do it in a heartbeat and just accept that ok, they’re not the best player but no sweat, I got this. Fair or unfair doesn’t apply then. To me it seems a great deal more enjoyable to extend the same sort of friendly goodwill to strangers because you can, than denying them because they don’t pull their weight. In the first thing there is a shared joy, in the other judgement. This is obviously from my perspective, and you may experience this entirely differently
