Tired of players demanding high lv gear in order to join CM

2 weeks ago i reached 50 PLD, finished all main story quests, and i learned that there is somthing called darklight armour, so i tried to join CM parties but my armour are all ordenary armour jop armour+Hoplite, but everytime i join they see my hp is 4400 they say please leave, and i did it severl times speed run or normal runs with 2 tanks, i know how to pull and know what i have to do, and i do it very fine.

So tell me what should i do i crafted all HQ jewelry with vit+materia and i wear it, so how i can get DL armour if they deny me the right to join to get the items to buy all this armour.

Aruld, you shouldn't be joining speed runs with that gear - the whole point of those runs is to clear the dungeon quickly and there's no way you can hold agro against relic dps going "full throttle", they will end up tanking everything. They can slow down, but then it wouldn't be a speed run. Normal CM/PRAE/AK runs are where you should be farming tomes and on those if people tell you to leave, they are just being jerks.

Thank u for response, i get it no speed runs, do u suggest i join with duty finder thats bitter?

Yeah go with DF. Most people that really want speed run and will tell you to leave will make their own speed run group. If they come to DF expecting full speed run, they're delusional.

Up to you. Duty finder is slower, as it has to form the party first, but might be a good idea if you have something else to do while you wait (like crafting or gathering). By the way, you might want to run AK until you cap mythology tomes for a week, then do CM/PRAE for the rest of the week - gear that drops in AK is worse than DL, but better than stuff you get before that.

End game gear goes like this (from worst to best):

Weapon: Grand company -> ifrit -> garuda -> relic -> relic +1 / coil
Armor/Jewelry: AK gear -> DL gear -> myth tomes gear / coil gear

Just use Duty Finder. If they want you to leave in a DF group, tell them no. No one in DF is going to care too much, and the content is made for fresh 50s. When I DF CM, I can have as much as 3k more HP than a fresh PLD who joins up, and it's not like I have a problem with them wanting to main tank and me holding all the adds because they can tank the bosses just fine.

I don't get it...you can't get into a public CM group, so this deserve a forum post?

You could use Duty Finder or you could make your own group in Mor Dhona and set whatever rules you want.

Tired of players whining about things that are completely under their control.

Its a good point and its not complaining from something that easy to resolve about duty finder it takes too long to wait for a party to form and sometimes it doesn't form at all because my zone time is different from US, Euro players, about making my own party most of people shouting for speed runs.

First of all you shouldn't be joining groups that are forming locally. Use the duty finder. I'm fully decked out in Darklight armor and it took me like a week, 4-5 days I think. I'm DPS and I even switch it up with healing. When I heal, I get 3-5m wait time and as DPS it's anywhere from 15-20m wait time. It's not that bad. I just start leveling another class or work on my gathering in the meantime.

You a tank don't bother run with premade just DF only a few min diff.

Ok thank u all for the info and thank u Pathtic

Just use DF, Im a PLD and even as a fresh 50 in fresh 50 gear, it was fairly easy to tank, just so long as you have read a guide so you know what to expect. DF groups tend to be more Newbie friendly, but like all MMO's theres no shortage in jerks who will occaisionally moan and groan to hide their own failures, just ignore these people like i do (or if your like me and ultra evil, let them pull aggro and die before provoking target back ... revenge is sweet), i DF CM frequently when farming, a typical CM run takes 40 minutes tops, and its not a partically hard dungeon, ignore premades for now.

You will occasionally get the jerk in DF but as the poster above said, just ignore them. People who expect a speed run through the DF are being unrealistic as many people are finishing up their story quests and may want to watch the cutscenes as well. You hold all the cards when you queue as a Tank...don't let some angry little kid spoil your run because they want to save a few minutes.

Thank you Patience and Oxide that reaaly encourging and helps alot.
