So you wanna have raid equivalent gear without raiding? You are the literal embodiment of entitled.

Many players also just lack the patience. My guild currently has 5 statics, and we're forming our 6th static. With formation of all of the statics, we've run into the exact same problems repeatedly.
Players being too impatient to wait for the static formation. They join us, looking for a static. After about 2 weeks there's no full group yet, as finding a last tank or healer may be troublesome. They end up leaving the FC and go look elsewhere. Three weeks later, the static is up and running, going through it's first content. What do we see? The player who left is still up in party finder or on the community forums, looking for a static. Even though (s)he could have been part of one, it is their impatience which caused them to miss out.
The impatience can also be seen on those who join last, or even those who stick around. They face the reality of a new group to content not one-shotting turn 6, not one-shotting turn 7. And they decide to leave. As progression this way is not in accordance to their level of expectation. Even if they themselves are making just about as many mistakes. And what do we see? Once the newly formed static is hitting turn 8 or turn 9, we still see these players looking for a new static.
But of course such impatience is nothing new in MMO's. It's been increasingly present over the past few years. And is unlikely to change any time soon.

Solution:
<-------Gear Progression------->
if you can play something like 2/3 hours a day because of work, or whatever, you focus less on doing daily roulette/beast tribe/hunts, and focus more on raiding/ex primals/whatever endgame best suits you.
it's not like you can open a PF looking for a static that has the same playtime while you do other things...
You can't use PF half the time, and obviously I know how to use PF to find a static. My hours are not consistent. Sorry I am not sitting in PF while hunting or doing ID/Trials. Tbh why should I have to have a static anyway? Why is that the epitome of gaming?
