Ifrit Extreme, Partyfinder, and selfish people.

I notice that the extreme primal have really bring out the selfishness of people. Last Saturday I was finally able to clear Titan Extreme and been getting trainingon DF and got to the giant nail but no win on Ifrit Extreme on Sunday. I was thinking, no biggie, I will finish off Ifrit after reset. To my horror, after the reset, every team that is "capable" of beating Ifrit "require" people with primal weapon or kick. It is dishearten. Even my coil static leader ifrit pt require previous win or no invite.

form the type of group you want to play with.

o trust me, i try... I try to set party builder to the build i believe can win and zero people join for 1 hour.

To be fair, still a lot of people don't know about the party finder. I think Square Enix purposefully downplayed this so people would keep using the Duty Finder.

You might want to do a few shouts in Remnants Toll to funnel people to your listing on the Party Finder.

Server atmosphere may also play a part, but then there's really nothing anyone could do about it except to keep at it :(

Your Coil static must have a really bad leader.

Before I beat Titan, I was very confident that I have the same (if not better) skill than those people who already beaten it.
But I can't join any farm group because they'll require clear experience and they'll try to queue Ifrit first to check it.
It makes me sad, but to be honest, I don't blame them. Because I've seen many people who claim to be confident at dodging and have post-heart experience make mistakes way too often.

I also want to link this to extreme primal selling. Persona;ly, I have no issue with peopel selling run.... housing gil must come from somewhere. However, like I said, a lot of farming group REQUIRE you MUST have a primal weapon. A lot of people will break down and buy the win since it is pretty hard to build a new group. I was hearing talk in one of the ls I was in where a group start selling extreme primal and they got 30-40m within 3 days.

Well it might be helpful if you advertise "/sh LF more Ifrit EX, please join us by using the new party finder feature" instead of expecting people to just bring it up and use it.

if you wanna make a group for something you gotta be persistent :| like a cockroach

I beat Ifrit in df. Around my 4th try, other tries were pretty good too, surprisingly.

EDIT: But I do agree, we are in the same server and I was thinking..wow are people TRYING to prevent others from getting their weapon? It's stupid for such an easy fight, don't worry you will beat it eventually.

Double edit: Oh hey! I joined your party and no one came haha(or was it the one where everyone left after two wipes), yeah man keep at it I guess or do DF like me.

Yeah i remember you arte in one of the pt i build or something. Well the fight is not hard but most group have no clue on how to deal with the gaint nail after they melee lb 3 it. I laid out the plan in description and no luck.

Yeah and those group usually take a LONG time to fill since not that many beat titan extreme in first place; thus they limit their pool of peopel just by limting primal weapon only.

Yet demanding that there are ready to join groups at your exact place of progress organised when you're ready to go isn't selfish at all.

First post accuracy in this thread, form your own group.

No it's not selfish, that is why I was persistent in DF till I won. It is just a shame that it creates such a barrier of entry based on very limited numbers for such an easy fight.

As a healer, having to learning in DF was a nightmare because the learning curve on that fight is super high for a healer. Thankfully I have a good rep with a good ls that farms extremes from time to time so I was able to get win with them. DF can be excruciating with the type of people that go into there even if you tell them it's your first time. I always respond with, "well if you wanted a group that new what was going 100% of the time, why'd you join DF?" I always get some witty response but they shut up after that or I blacklist them and never have to group with them again.

Since you're on a legacy server, you should transfer to hyperion. I see learning PF groups everyday for all extremes.

There are a bunch of "If I see you get hit, kick" and "Not here to teach. Either know the fight or GTFO." on Cactuar. The Party Finder can be extremely helpful at times, but I feel like this and the Vote Dismiss feature really brought out the ego in people thousandfold.

Yeah I have seen a lot of that going around on party finder, Its too bad really I mean god forbid you choked on something while doing the fight or maybe you coughed lol

Some of what I'm reading about the various EX fights and how people react to it makes me worry, especially when I finally get up to that content.

I like a challenge, and learning from my mistakes. But kicking people for just making one mistake? And even requiring previous wins of the fight, completely gating off new players from even trying? Ehhhh.
