Nope Still Queuing for AK.... Try.. and.. stop... me...

Hah, This elitist group in XIV is getting nuts. As other have said, you want your 'perfect' group, get an FC. Although, every successful run I've had in my AF, Champ Lance HQ, DL+Lv50 jewelry, was with similar geared players. ALL runs with the 'pro' DL players so far had a ton of wipes for 'oops' or 'lolsorry wasn't watching', or my favorite; rage quit after one wipe, typically by a mistake of their own.

Yet in the runs where people were geared more my level, we wiped a couple times, learned from it, and won by like the 3rd, maybe 4th try at most. All of us still had a major reason to beat it, and knew we weren't the best geared, so apparently that gives more drive to be focused. This rang true for Chimera, AK, Hydra, Ifrit, Garuda, and almost Titan - had our Tank not DC on beginning of P3.

Reserving instance? Haven't had that since they nerfed speed runs.

Really? In ragnarok it has gotten WORSE since the speedrun nerf. I guess partly because Now every party spends 30-80 minutes in the instance instead of the old 15-20

'farm primals'

am I the only one around here who hasn't even had the luck of getting a decent enough party to kill Garuda?
Ifrit didn't seem that much of a problem, but I've easily wasted over 8 hours dying on Garuda now.

So how exactly do you farm that?

Getting a static party from your Free Company probably.. Certain fights can be a pain to DF (as we all know by now)

I actually think its a good idea for good geared FCs.. AK is just tiring and doing it so many times its so fucking boring especially with the trash mobs, also 8 FC members can benefit from a Garuda run..

Elitist get lost! Don't like what others wear ? You can leave the dungeon and wait 15 mins!

I have a wife, a kid, a job, etc.... so when I get home take care of my responsibilities and actually sit down to enjoy myself for an hour or 2 before i give my wife the pickle and go to bed I want to gte as much done as posible. On that note, when I form a full group for ak on my server and we still have to wait 30+ minutse to get into the dungeon...thats a little crazy.. I mean.. it takes about 30+ minutes for a full run of the dungeon and then another 30 just to wait to get into it...thats an hour killed right there. So instead of being able to run AK twice to get those myth seals or trying to farm the Hoplite gear I can't do jack shit for those 30 minutes besides chase around fates or do some crafting/gathering which I don't do anyway because Its not my thing.

How can there only be so many instances of a dungeon? That is not cool, not logical, not right. It seems that SE has expected this game to be a failure from the start and they are actually forcing it to be a failure.

Sorry but no , it is WAY worse than before.
We have to wake up early in the morning (EU time) to bypass queue. Afternoon is already 10+ minute wait. Eu prime is 20-30 minute and then comes US prime with even longer wait time.
Max time we had to wait during speed runs was only 10-15 minute in prime.

When ppl progress through binding coil and learn they can farm the mythos there instead this issue will subside. Right now its most ppl's only option for farming mythos though. The whole system is kinda messed up since there is no crystal tower to break up the lvl gap and you can guarantee crystal tower will drop mythos and spread out the playerbase.

I think a full coil run from floor 1 through 5 will cap your mythos for the week (300).
