CM AFKers

Why do you guys just not run WP or AK? They both offer the same amount of philosophy, and WP can be run just as fast or faster than CM.

The problem with the 8 man story dungeons is that one person can typically be carried. In 4 mans that can't happen.

Now here's an issue people are gonna bring up... getting carried. I've encountered quite a few incompetent (or illiterate or slow or mentally fragile) players while running CM (easy carry), WP (moderate carry), and AK (difficult to carry if tank/healer). I usually run in a group of 2-3 with my FC friends and we have carried the random undergeared character through these dungeons... but it gets progressively more difficult.

With 2.1, they are planning the MVP system and the Duty Purpose system which will allow you to select what you are running the dungeon for and match you with people of like mind (hopefully not too many undergeared selecting Speed Runs, although skill can make up for gear in some instances but gear can NEVER truly make up for a lack of skill).

Serious question?

Okay,
1) Like johnist said, gear... plain and simple CM is easier than WP/AK and has more room for slack
2) If your like me (casual, no LS/FC, 1-1.5 hrs a night TOPS), you rely on Duty finder, and people rage quit WP/AK if you dont have relic + full dark light, i had 3 groups disband on me for being a healer without relic in AK before a group was nice enough to let me go with them. we still cleared it in 20 minutes, but most people aren't willing to try

You're on the wrong dutyfiner server my friend. I will gladly take an undergeared player (Item level 42+) through WP if the undergeared player has an IQ high enough to read and learn and apply said learning to the situation.

I lol at Relic requirements as AK doesn't even need Relic for win, just for speed. For AK I ask at least Item Level 55 weapon (Darklight (WP drop), Crafted (Prerelic), GC, or Ifrit (60), and an average item level above 49 for the body.
