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

[Headhunters]

i bet jpns are upset too since as percentage they have way more hardcore than NA/EU

WoW the one possible piece of content for guilds and the devs 100% screw it up.

To hell with the duty finder, focusing on this is killing off you game. THIS IS ENDGAME... IT SHOULD BE GUILD FOCUSED... honestly should is not the right word it is MUST.

I want to play with my guild, not be forced to play with complete randoms. That is not what a mmo is about.

This decision is going to cost SE 10s of thousands of subs. This is GAME breaking. Endgame in general is tired of waiting for guild content.

This is not 1 person... in my case this is 70... We will not give SE until 2.2 to fix it. If there is no alliance guild content at the launch of 2.1... they risk losing 70 people in my case. And I am far from the minority.

Wow. Pattern much. Now daily randoms, you can only queue solo. Why does SE hate premade groups. This feels like we are being forced to learn to get along with randoms who grief with badness.

Going to have premade 8 man groups clearing their content quickly then forced to wait for the DF AK gear people to catch up. This won't go over well.

i won't lie am a sad panda.

They should have made both options viable, i dont get how they made such a decision.

It is going to suck for the ILevel 55 people, because what is going to happen is the relic/darklight/allegan group will just bail on them. I know I will. I will not play with a subpar geared pug. Better to have the cooldown then waste an hour with undergeared people who are not on voice chat.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It is not your responsibility to carry people through content. SE should know this and not force people together when lots of people just wanna do raids with their free company mates.

All these excuses and cop out by this dev team. From a guy (Yoshi-P) who said the game begins at end-game he really seems to be shooting himself in the foot with these poor design choices. 24-Man content is 24-Man content, not 8 people then a bunch of undergeared, underskilled bads, this is ridiculous. Retro-progression, lack of content, contradicts everything he promised initially: "For ARR, the level cap is going to be level 50 to start the game. We don't want players to have to spend a lot of time getting to level 50. The reason behind this is that we believe the game up to level 50 is basically your tutorial. The real game begins from level 50. We have the real challenges begin there. We have a lot of end content that we've already prepared to be ready at the launch of the game."

Whats the over under on how long before this game officially tanks and is relegated to a small niche playerbase?

You guys are funny. Seriously. I can honestly say i was surprised at the 8 man limit PUG other 16 thing but it is hardly the end of the world.
If i made a huge post saying how i want to play just with my wife through all the content, i would be stripped naked and dragged through the streets by a WHM on a Unicorn to the sound of a 1000 people chanting MMO is about playing in groups.
Now the fact that you guys cannot play with just your own special group it is riot time.

Now i do understand that people will claim that playing with a group of 4, 8, 16, 24 is different to just 2 people but it is still basically wanting to hide away from the rest of the games population.

I also do understand that playing with people you trust etc is more fun and being trolled by strangers is a fun killer to, but take this as a chance to build the strength of the community.
If anything the devs are trying to make more people work together and make the game less clique orientated.
FC etc are a important part of the game but being friends with multiple FC's would make the game more fun for all.

[Taika]

This was the only content that FCs were expecting to be able to do together, and this information completely destroys it. Extremely disappointed.

It would be better if they wouldn't implement CT at all before groups can be made for it.
