How is Skirmish "Fuss Free Content"?

Exactly. I hope it's a trend they continue, though I do see people just wanting to burn these down without thinking for quick wins.

That doesn't mean the opportunity is not there, however. And as the weapons are salable, people can bypass the grind by purchasing the weapons and actually use the event for training.

I'd say that's pretty fuss-free. Finding a party is probably the hardest part lol.

Ok this sort of answers my question, at least the first two bullets do, anyway. Thanks. Gosh, I wasn't hating on the thing, I was just asking what made this different than any other content, because he specifically stated "fuss free". I thought it would be something like, you sign up for it, and boom your in.

I've only played a couple of rounds of Turtleback Island or whatever it's called with my linkshell, and I'll agree, it's not "fuss-free content"... but not due to party constraints. It's due to not being able to re-invite someone during the instance if they disconnect. It happened BOTH times we were doing it.

That, and I guess not being able to use mounts to move faster between monster fights is a bit annoying.

I also heard people on our Teamspeak server complaining about it being glitchy somehow before I joined them (don't know the exact details), but I assume the first-day server load may have had something to do with it.

you can't find a LS with people in it on your server. (just speculation) you must have a horrible personality.

This is a totally uncalled for comment and reeks of disrepect to me. PS: the people left because the game didn't interest them (even though they were dire FF fans) or because they chose another server.

I agree Ian, It's really hard to make friends, i can't play the game unless they fix it into playing my menu, i don't like being Social, I'd rather sit in town shouting and talking on the forums starting topics saying how it's hard to make friends and ask them to group with me and it's impossible to see any content at all!!....


It's really hard....... >.>

The best advice I can give is to try to form the parties yourself and remember those who are good contributors, maybe make a Linkshell and invite them to it too

I never said it was hard to make friends. I asked what the "fuss free" content that Yoshi mentioned was about. Oh forget it, I don't have to defend my simple question.

I think the "Fuss-free" aspect of Skirmish is that the weapon drops are tradeable, meldable, and convertable, so no one would fuss over them lol.

It takes only like a second to start a Conversation with someone that might turn into a forming of a small linkshell, just SPEAK UP, TALK, Party content will never have any "Fuss" if you just take the time and talk with people and then into forming groups with them


You are just being lazy

I would give the benefit of the doubt and say they might also be shy or timid or fed up :p
