LFM... I'm confused

Hasn't it always been like this? I remember the only way you used to get into groups if you had 'little' experience was to make the groups yourself. Last time I played WoW, every group for end game stuff declared that you needed the achievement and a gear score of X in order to be invited; incidentally as the group leader, you didn't need to expose yourself to such checks.

Also, for the sake of argument, a lot of places, at least in Australia, require you to have experience for jobs, even medial ones, that you incidentally can not get without having the experience you'd actually get from that job (which you won't get, because you don't have experience!).

Yea, thats true.... but real life has college and trade school.
Also, worst case is that you fail an instance. If a Doctor is inexperienced he could kill a patient... An inexperienced driver can kill other motorists or pedestrians... etc.
The stakes just seem so much higher IRL

I thought this was silly as well. People started these shouts within a week of release. People started dropping out of DF if someone said they're new after about the same time.

Jesus Christ, you guys. How do you expect new players to 50 to learn the content if you refuse to take them on it? That said, something like Garuda and Titan HM are much easier with people who know what they're doing. I suppose they assume that's what DF is for? Practice? That's sad, really sad.
