I don't think the problem is so much with PUGs it's the fact that Duty Finder forces 2 tanks.
Grats on win.
PPL are aware that Duty Finder is not the best way and there's risk on forming party (for Titan) but still they complain, they rage quit or leaving party saying "waste of time". If is a waste of time, why you joined with duty finder and you didn't formed a party (like I did with Garuda Hard) in your server? Since Duty Finder takes 2 Tanks, would be better for use as test the fight and then shout for players when you feel ready...
As for me, I haven't cleared Titan yet for my relic (lack of players with free time and jobs for it). I think the thing that you MUST be the job of your relic is a shitty thing ever made. It just make party more hard to build specially when need a healer or a X job, where someone could play healer and still get the credit for the clear. But is just my opinions, everyone can think how they want. I probably gonna beat him anyway someday like I did with Garuda in 1.0 and in ARR. Maybe...
I'd have to agree, if I was SE I would remove titans weapons and just have him drop the Relic, because its the hardest and only obstacle in getting one :S
Then have the NPC in Hyrstmill upgrade it to relic + 1.
Or better still have the titan weapon upgradable to a relic, definitely better ways to do this.

Yea it's a bit sad that players are hiring mercs this early on in the games life, especially when the playing field is quite level and there is a lot of interest in the current content.
The rage quit in the community right now is staggering. I understand if your DPS is too low but I have seen some cry babies leave after one run when we were close to getting it down.
Selling titan runs fuels gilsellers.
This is probably exactly what happened. In short, they didn't finish what they started. And as they made them, they are but a small upgrade over the ilvl70 weapons. I don't see why they didn't just leave them ilvl 95, and make relic +2 ilvl105 or 110. I'm actually not going to be suprised if it is because they for some reason couldn't exceed ilvl99 in their code without major glitches. . . .
Garuda's weapons are easier to get for the same Ilvl. IF they left relic weapons @95, and made titan weapons 80, this would be true. People would do Titan Hard for weapons to supplement classes they don't get relics for, however that is not necessary with the fights dropping the same strength gear.
You got many classes to level in this game, You might be going for relic fists and an top of that lets say that you get the Titan Axe as well which is not bad at all.
Titan's drops are worthwile if they are not meant for your primary class.
It's explained when logging the quest that primals are affected by both the amount of crystals gathered, and the fervor of their followers: The kobold HATE limsa right now for breaking their treaty, and they were able to gather a massive amount of crystals with relative ease due to the mines being underground. /nerd
