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

Best thing to do for those right now that feel this is a dealbreaker. Remove your automatic renewals. I already have. Duty-finder is terrible, I would much rather spam for groups for endgame content.

DF should be an optional convenience tool for players. Not a fallback on developers who want to halfass it.

Deal with it, Joshyuchiha.

so, to clarify this.

is this working as intended or were SE's Devs just not capable of implementing a feature for players to form alliances?

[Yurikitty]

Oh you are kidding me. WTF SE! Seriously its just a bunch of monkeys trying to type hamlet at head quarters. Dumbest decision ever. Seriously. So unhappy right now. Why would I want to pug with other people when I have a FC ready to go in? WHY! Why are you making us pug this?

[Tupsi]

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.

Doesn't fix stu...well you get the idea. Shame really, despite opposition, Yoshi continues to show he wants this game to be designed around solo play and the DF and less around actually doing stuff with friends/FC - You can say otherwise, but it's becoming more clearer given the general design of this game.

Man, some people will defend anything. They pretty much plain stated 24 man alliance for CT WILL NOT be available at 2.1 launch. What else do you want to know?

This is pretty much inexcusable, I could make alliance years ago in XI, why does this game go backward?

He really does defend everything SE does with XIV just because it's different from XI, so to him everything = Win and a smart move.

I agree it sucks, but at least there's a simple solution any FC with minimal coordination can do:

Queue three groups at same time, cancel queue if everyone doesn't insta queue, problem solved.

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.

You do make good points, however I disagree with the stuff I quoted you on. How is carrying griefers through content the same as building a strong community? Isn't it the exact opposite?

This, this, this!

So much f**king whining and only one person who actually thinks..

[Ri_ri]

I want to remove the afk griefing. If that requires a /kick, exp penalty or a lock from DF then it should be implemented.
I don't get why you would disagree... You think leeching is fine?

Leeching is not fine, that's why we'll be able to kick them.

I doubt anyone's gonna leech, though. The queue timer should be punishment enough, at least for non-tanks. Waiting over 30 minutes to get in, run the risk of getting kicked and having to wait another queue... might as well just play the game.

Unfortunately this puts more stress on the serves, waste other groups' time and might take several tries to pull of. But if it works, people will do it.
