First off, I believe this part of the board is for those in relationships, not for those seeking...but here is what I think about your situation.
She hangs with them because that is her comfort zone, it could be what she is used to and to get away would be hard especially if she has no alternative. Getting her away from that may be hard as mentioned...consider this...How much time does she spend with this "crowd"? Now, if there is no alternative...then who is she going to want to be with considering that person might be you? Is that ok with you?
Calling her a fuck buddy...funny but no...don't say that again to a girl you want to make more than just that. When you asked that question, you put her on the spot, had she not had feelings for you, she probably would have just said so...seems like she wanted to be with someone that could make that decision for her and state the obvious, but this is where I'm confused...

I don't mind getting into a relationship with her, but...
When you say "you don't mind", it sounds like you aren't sure about what you want.
Also, if she can't kick that crowd to the curb, it just may be something you will either need to deal with or say...sayonara!
There are no "buts" here and if you know what she is about, then accept that. Don't expect someone to change their behavior or friend status for you...but if they do, then consider it a bonus. That's like her asking you to change into something she wants in a man...what would you say to that?
