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

They stated that the functionality for doing CT with 3 FC premades will NOT make it in for 2.1, however they will try to get it in for 2.2.

Hell, they may just patch it in between 2.1 and 2.2.
What would you rather, no CT at all until 24man premades can join it, or having 8man CT with the potential to group with your FC buddies in 2.1?

Actually at this point yes delay CT and or the patch 1 more week and get it in properly allow FC to do what FC want to do. Many have a distaste for Duty Finder and have from the getgo this is just more SE crap on not listening to a vast majority of there playerbase. Need I remind people of the roaming HNM/Open world topic they so diligently swept under the rug.

Or you and other FC's who *can* muster 24 people for CT can just not do it until they add the additional premade capacity, So that people like me, in a smaller FC, can still enjoy the content.

You seem to be forgetting that you need a premade 8 to queue (if i understood the Letter correctly), which means the only other people in there will also be in premade groups using voice comms or properly communicating via party chat.
AFAIK, its not going to be possible to just queue up and get 23 random players mashed together and thrown in.

And with the Item Level restrictions in place on the Duty Finder, it will be Impossible to have a party in there that is 'undergeared', you will only get people in correct gear for the Dungeon, or people that are overgeared for the Dungeon.

Doesn't matter geared or undergeared. The whole point of most FC with 24 or more members right now is to prepare for crystal tower and to play with man of the people we know, not to be forced to split up and go play with strangers.

You can give me a whole alliance with decked out myth/allagan/relic+1, but I'd rather pass to play with undergeared FC members. Again, people just wants to play with their friends, and gear check is not the main concern in this issue.

Here's what I will do: queue up for with 3 parties from my FC at same time. If we get in, good. If not then we leave, eat the penalty and do extreme primal for fun.

The only ones that will actually lose time now will be the the pugs that I dodged, which in turn will go on the forum to rage about how broken the duty finder is, which in turn will convince the dev team to remove CT from DF. If that happen, then more FC and community interaction for every server!

Win-win for everyone in the long run.

It is a plan hopefully enough people do it.

The funny thing is? It should be reversed, but that is why they delayed CT as is, to make it DFable so what better way than make it ONLY possible with random DF people and not premade like every other activity in this game currently? In 2.2 there will definitely be zero reason to do it with a premade group unless they update CT then since 2.2 is a major patch which means 3 months after 2.1 lands which 2.2 as we know is a coil update. So 4-5 months from now it'll be virtually useless to go into with your FC.
