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

They already are going to change it in 2.2. Its just that queuing with alliances isn't ready in 2.1.

That doesn't mean the scenario I laid out won't happen. It will. A lot.

I doubt it because most hard core people won't want to get 24 people together to do a casual dungeon for lvl 80 gear. Most of my coil group doesn't even want to touch CT because it drops worse gear then coil, except for the run it once to see how it is, and the few who want to gear up alts jobs. Also it might not count as a premade because there is now 24 people in the group so you may still get the penalty even if you queue with 8.

Do you not see the number of people in this thread saying they want to do CT with their FC? It's going to happen. This is the only content that a medium or large FC can rally around aside from housing.

Pre-made parties are not subject to the retry timer if they leave an instance. This will lead to frustration due to many parties starting and leaving until they get paired up with their own people and SE will eventually need to change it.

Not to mention if a group of server randoms form up and a guy get their one treasure, there's nothing really stopping them from bailing. (pulled this from Rein's translation, it said you'll only be able to win one item per run)

The amount of butthurt over a slightly delayed aspect of one part of the patch is getting rather hilarious.

If you have a large FC that wants to run 24 man premades ....

Wait one more patch for that functionality!

In the meantime, the rest of us who don't mind playing with strangers will enjoy what Crystal Tower offers.

It's bad enough CT was held out of official release, but now we're supposed to be complacent with the fact we're even getting it and can't even fully utilize our FC members to run it?
