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

[SkinnBanjo]

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.

EDIT: Not that I'm saying that this was a good move from SE; I would prefer making our own alliances, but it won't be terrible using DF as it is now with undergeared people attempting Titans etc.

Well since gears meen just about shit in this game since everyone is buying titan-runs and what not - This will be a pain to do with 16 randoms. OMG-what-a-shit-loads-of-rage thats going to be... Well... You all
have fun in there for your vanity stuff... IF you ever will get passed it with such an ammount of randoms in party!

Gear does not make a bad player into a good player.

I have no problem with CT being available on Duty Finder, in fact I'm glad it's an option for those that can't find their own groups. However FORCING friends and Free Company members who DO have 24 members who want to run CT together to use the Duty Finder to randomly find 2/3 of the group is just a stupid decision.

No system is perfect but some systems are worse than others. While I agree a players gear doesn't signify ability people would still pick a darklight paladin with poor skills than one without because you can't set in the preference for quality! If they raised the difficulty bar in this game a bit higher I think it'd go a long way in challenging and dividing the crowds. We don't need Dynamis size runs but I also don't need nerfdom in the game. For those familiar with FF11 my point is: remember when getting Tavnazian access was an actual accomplishment you could be proud of?

dividing the crowds

This is what SE does NOT WANT, maybe you have seen it maybe not, nearly every step taken by SE is to bridge the gap between the community. Not make a new one.
The current split we have is not a small one, SE will do what they can for that gap to get filled up, rather then making it deeper and bigger.

I would not be surprise if CT was made such that it puts people with minimum pass, and people with over gear together, so its closer to a carry then anything.
It just would not.

I can't wait for the queue times on this. You think it takes awhile to find one or two tanks for simple four and eight man instances? Wait until you need SIX tanks, and SIX healers.

Burden of proof lies on you. SE has always just stated that CT will be 24-man content. They have never said that we'd be able to form 3 full parties and enter just like that. If you can prove me wrong on this, do so. Until then, I'm going to be in the mindset that everyone is just getting worked up over absolutely nothing, like always.

Could you stop being a blind fanboy for once? You are just as ridiculous as the people who get mad over grass, just batting for the other team.

This and all the PT exiting because they are not with FC or with ilvl55 random PT, indeed, CT will be the most broken thing in this game.

First day 2.1, there will be a thread that goes:

[CT] Please stop queuing for Crystal Tower unless you have full DL!
We're tired of carrying people who don't even have DL! You have had 3 months time to prepare, there's no excuse to not have full DL!

well can you blame people being mad? really its like some one said before group A is experienced people with lets sayd decked out allagan, who are helping the pts when they can, Group B mediocre group that can get by, Group C barely met req ilvl that would most likely be fate spammers, Group C cant win the fight they have to all 3 pts fail cause of C. Dont try to defend it Yoshi stated it that there are parts that the 3 parties can help one another, but parts that they have to do on their own. Added with AFKers that all they have to do is giggle a button and stay connected, trolls, or people like myself with problems with 90K boss that might dc at a crucial part of a fight. And the elitists that will just leave if other 2 parties are inadequate.I see CT just being a cesspool of filth. All i know is i wanna see fun stuff in there like hey look at that boss he looks like a clown.....OMG ITS KEFKA! Or hey they 3 party thing seems familiar OMG BIZZARO SEPHIROTH!! An awesome fight where you can watch party 1 2 and 3 fight certain parts of him they it switches to other pt. THAT would make up for the horrible decision even if temporary to destroy reason to have a FC more than 8 ppl.
