Muh parsies, raidtrannies, and general faggotry are why if I were to try my hand at raiding, I'd want to do it with folks that I could just view it as shooting the breeze with. Some drinks and a hangout session among chill-enough friends, people who all generally get along and talk like mature-enough human beings. Get in discord, go over the strats again, and just try and clear. No particular parse-obsession, since the main draw would more be hanging out in a discord server cracking wise than pumping your numbers on a website where no-one at all gives one iota of a shit about the barest fleck of your existence.
I remember the last time I found something like that, it was Wrath. The effort it would take to find a group of people like that within the scope of FF14 itself is astronomical, so you'd at this point have to know them from somewhere else. I genuinely just don't think it's possible with modern MMO design, honestly. Even without the ToS shit, there's just so little incentive for people to communicate, you'll almost never really run the opportunity to just meet someone, click, and become internet buds.
