CT loot lockout and the direction of this game will probably cause our FC to quit

[Nero]

How about all the threads that are full of people complaining about hour long queues for things like Ifrit/Garuda story mode?

1.0 Forum was used by 3% of the Playerbase, unless it magically increased ( its around 5% for most Games actually ) or SE gives us a new Number, i will somewhat assume it is a similiar amount for the 2.0 Forums.

You are genuinely an anomaly, most people are generally it for themselves. Tell me, honestly... how often do you run Storyline content outside of if friends ask for your help?

Last time i did Story Titan, which was last week with some french people just for fun. I do it if feel like it and be like "oh.. i did not do that in a while, could be fun". And yeah.. it was fun. I am not saying that other people don't have other goals or don't play for different reasons, but i can only speak for myself and those people i know. And so i can say i am not alone with the way i play. Just now a couple groups in my FC doing WP for fun, their tomes are capped, they just like to mess around.

Okay, stick your head in the sand. Go ahead and DF for one of the story primals and tell me how long it takes you to find a group on your own.

41 Seconds for Garuda Storymode.. <_< and now? I'm on Tank so it will go fast regardless, but i also do wait 30 Minutes+ if i queue up for DD on AK or WP, so how does this prove anything?

I could just as easily say you're in the 3% of people that managed to get in quickly or something.
The fact stands there tends to be incredibly long queue times for a lot of things because there simply is not enough people doing them. Why? Because it offers no reward for them to do it.

Try that again with Cape Westwind...

Try that again with Cape Westwind...

5 of 5 tank queue Cape Westwinds were instant for me. 1 of 1 DD queues... 28 minutes.

Average WP queue time as DD is around 30 minutes for me, and it's about 10-20 minutes more for AK. I have yet to have a non-instant queue time queuing for either alone as tank, though it may take a couple minutes with dps along for the quick queue. That seems to be pretty standard for the other tanks I've spoken to...

Unless I Queue up with my wife, Tank queues for me is like 1-2secs even on Monday.

and with that you mean you will whine there's nothing to do but gear grinding, while 'everyone' is actually enjoying whatever else besides gear grind the game has to offer.

surely you win this ... (insert rolleyes smiley here)

I happen to like Gear Grinding, It increases my chances of getting into End Game content and succeeding. I do other stuff in game. But I can only Fate Grind so much, I find it boring and sometimes I fall asleep.... At least in FFXI I could occupy my time by camping NMs or helping others. But in FFXIV seems everyone only needs help on titan HM, And that as you all know sucks and I don't like doing it.
