I quit the game today because of these group content road blocks. I am at level 20, and I wanted to become a Summoner/Scholar. My Conjurer levels is sitting at level 18 because I was using it to progress through the group requirements, instead of playing the class that I want to play. Now that my Arcanist is at level 20, and I've been trying to find a group for Ifrit for two days, I've simply decided to log out at an inn and not come back for now.

I was in a large FC, we have around 150 members, but I left it today. I couldn't find any healers or tanks that were willing to repeat the content, especially Ifrit, because there are no rewards for beating him. I reached out to my FC many times, every time I've had to do a dungeon for my story quests, and nobody is willing to help. This is a video game. I play it to relax and have fun. In any MMO, the community is your greatest hurdle, and so far this community has been insurmountable for me.
