I guess I was wrong about relic being requirement. But rather I value the experience of going through the relic quests. You know what? no matter how geared you are... people just don't listen. Bottom line, alliance activity in ffxiv is just bad bad idea... Out of 24 ppl, you are bound to get couple of idiots that just won't listen. If you listen to what other experienced people say, it will be smooth run. I have had multiple case of kicking these people and having rest of the CT run go smooth.

Bottom line, if you don't know CT, at least learn to listen and follow orders. Is that being elitist?
