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

[Shikiseki]

I'm still shocked why so many people have such a phobia to play alongside unknown and new players.... What are you still doing here at an MMORPG? I honestly don't get it.
The full fc-raid feature will be at 2.2 no problem - I wanted Vanity slots at 2.1 too but what can ya do.

But it seems that helping weaker players out is just a no-no

I think it'll be interesting , you need all teams to succeed to proceed - egoism will get you nowhere xD

It's not a phobia to play new or unknown people, it's a desire to play with a large group of our friends. Something that we have been looking forward to about CT and has been pulled out from under us (for now)

You can say the same for the people who don't have enough friends to do 24 man content. Using your own logic, I can ask: Why do these people have such a phobia to go out and make friends? Why do they have to rely on duty finder to find friends for them?

Also if the point of an MMORPG isn't to play with my friends and guildmates then please drive that through my thick skull so I can disband my FC and unsub already.

Have you been through the duty finder lately? Its a nightmare! I dont want to be forced to play with 16 unknown people. Pugs are vile, I cant communicate with them on voice chat and what happens when kiddies rage and quit? Or play stupid just for some trolling fun? Can you imagine the fights over gear? Its a nightmare. Games like WoW give you the option to do this, but you aren't forced to pug with randoms if you don't want. And that's the main point. SE is FORCING us to random pug it. And its wrong on so many levels.

I think you meant egotism.

I play with random and new people all the time. Hell, I helped a random person's NM Garuda with a friend because they were struggling and just because. That I can't queue up with more than 8 people means that people in my guild who aren't doing coil with us will either have to displace one of our other members or continue to have other people watch from the sideline. I'm not sure if I'd even go in with a full 24 since my guild doesn't have that many truly active players. 24 man content through the DF made me think this was something I could do to play with people who aren't in my 8 man group, but didn't require me filling all 24 slots.

Feel the way you want, but I don't think that all people are upset about this because they'll have to leave their bubble. I think some people, like me, are disappointed because this seemed like something you could do with a bunch of your friends that you might not do coil with. Believe it or not, this actually makes the 8 man bubble worse. It doesn't help at all.
