It's the exact same way as people who aren't playing at a moderate level. If you can't even do as much damage as a Trust NPC, something that is SPECIFICALLY programmed to do lower dps, that's a YOU problem (general "you", not you specifically Merrigan) that you need to work on.

And yes, I've had runs in 80+ content take longer than a Trust would have taken.

It's a bit harsh to say that, but it's reality, something a lot of players need a healthy dose of.
It's not harsh, though?

Anyway, to add another thing: there is another option than the "trust" system, that is to play with your FC. With people who agree with your way of playing.

As soon as you enter a team, you implicitly accept its rules. And among these, the rules that are common sense, i.e. to make efforts concerning your teammates. Whether it's in terms of dps, general rhythm or whatever. Which leads me to answer this:

I dont understand the self importance one must have to queue up for a roulette with 3 or more random other people, with any expectation what-so-ever.
Look in the mirror, will you? What is arrogant is not having expectations; it is thinking that you can do absolutely anything you want when you fall in a random team with three strangers.
