Can't make a full premade for Crystal Tower...

We seem to be forgetting gear checks. So your 'nonsense people' will actually be capable at least gear wise to complete CT. That makes it considerably less painful.

EDIT: Not that I'm saying that this was a good move from SE; I would prefer making our own alliances, but it won't be terrible using DF as it is now with undergeared people attempting Titans etc.

Gear does not make a bad player into a good player.

I have no problem with CT being available on Duty Finder, in fact I'm glad it's an option for those that can't find their own groups. However FORCING friends and Free Company members who DO have 24 members who want to run CT together to use the Duty Finder to randomly find 2/3 of the group is just a stupid decision.

Tell that to all the people who shout "GARUDA WEAPON SRS RELIC +1 ONLY MUST HAVE 10 PIECES OF ILVL70 OR BETTER".

Point is, that you have that part of your worries dispelled. Of course I would want to be able to form our own alliances, but at least your other 2 parties will be geared rightly for the instance. Performance is a whole another matter.

Most don't care if they're geared or not. They wanted to do content that involved their whole FC, not just 8 people at a time as we have been getting so far. Why even have free companies if we can't use more than 8 people at a time for anything?

What kind of endgame have you been playing? Practically everything in this game apparently requires relic +1s and full darklight, according to all the people recruiting in Mor Dhona.

See, I can make blanket statements too. And stop cutting out the part where I stated my view of full-alliance formation.

There are two main gripes I can see with this decision.
1. Unable to form your own 24 man alliances.
2. Being forced to DF, subject to having lesser parties joining you or jerks trying to ruin it for you.

My post was directed towards the 2nd one, with the effect not being as disastrous due to the ilvl requirements. Performance of said parties is another thing. Jerks is another that apparently vote-kick/MVP is their solution.

My view on 1. has been stated already, if you can look past your blind rage.

Just to make it clear, I don't like how we can't form our own alliances. I would prefer running it with my FC members, with people I have met and become friends with from my server.

I'm just seeing the silver lining, what little there is.

That wasn't my point, it was that we wanted to do the content with our FC, not randoms (no matter how well geared they may be). I guess most of our FC will just leave it until we get the patch where we can enter as an alliance. It's a bit disappointing though.

There is dps check to make sure decently geared people get through but there is no jerk filter for duty finder.

How come I don't get a choice to play with the nice people that I befriended on my server, the same people that I made our own FC with that I can trust and enjoy the game with. Call me antisocial but I don't always enjoy being forced to complete a task with 16 other strangers.

So to be clear, Can you only enter the DF in an 8 man party? Or can you enter it alone?

It works exactly like the Duty Finder does now, you can enter alone, or with a full group. It just finds you 2 other groups of 8 to enter, making a total of 24 players.

How to kill the FC, by Yoshida!
Can we have an official answer, when will be able to do CT with our friends?

atm, CT is forbidden for every FC in this game and we will have to dodge the DF by entering and exiting the CT until our 3 PT are together, which will lead to many complaints.
