Old Extreme Trials

I'm finding it very difficult/nigh impossible to find synced games for extreme trials from Thordan onward despite queueing hours in DF. On PF most people want fast unsynced clears for WT or mount farming. I just want to experience these fights with all their mechanics for the fun and challenge of it. Not sure if there's any way to help newer players fully experience this older content. Often when I do finally match to one of these trials, mentors will bail immediately if it's a particularly hard one (eg. Ramuh) or after 1-2 wipes. Perhaps in mentor roulette, rewards should be scaled with difficulty and time in the duty to reward mentors who take the time to teach newer players these harder trials or perhaps have a separate roulette specifically for people interested in teaching this higher end content and offer better rewards for it. Also give them a special crown or something to show off their elite status and mastery of the fight mechanics.

make your own party finder. some people do join for synced or min ilv clears of old content. theres even linkshells and discord servers for tht express purpose around

I've tried all that. I even created a linkshell and community myself cause I was having such a hard time finding games. Mentors keep saying PF as if it works. Try party finder for binding coil synced and let me know how far you get. It's an exercise in futility.

You will get more people willing to sync HW extremes more then you will finding people willing to sync Binding Coils. Coils was made even in the normal version to be more of a Savage-like experience back in the day, and a lot of people aren't really willing to deal with it again, considering you can solo the entire thing by now. If you are really wanting to experience it synced, try asking around for discord servers that are willing to run stuff with you like that, or even an fc.

Unfortunately that's just how it goes. People don't want to run old EX content synced because the optimal way to get the mounts is to unsync.

For the coils you should try to form a BLU party.
You have to do 5, 2-4, 3-4 and Alex savage synced to get the morbol mount.

That's the thing. Most people do the old content for mounts. I don't care about the mounts. I just want to experience the content with the mechanics intact but I'm definitely in the minority on that.

There's only been a few people who have managed to get groups together for everything as it was in the old days.
One of them was a famous twitch person who build a community of thousands before he had enough to run with him.

Your best bet is still to make a party finder, and try to organise a group in a discord.

I found a really nice Discord full of people who like to do old synched content. 600+ members and counting. I use it quite often. Certainly helps finding like-minded players.
