    Not letting us queue up for EX modes or hard stuff solo

    So one thing I caught in the patch notes is. You can not solo queue for Leviathan EX and Mog EX. You must have a full party. Also for the first 2 weeks you can't solo queue for Coil 1-5 until they nerf it with echo starting 2 weeks after 2.2 is out.

    Believe it or not I have beat ifrit EX in DF and one shot it. When I am bored say late at night when there are no PF groups and nobody from the FC is on. Sometimes I would queue up for EX runs to see if I could get a group that can win.

    I don't like the fact that option is being taken away. Basically if its past 11 or midnight I won't be able to find a group if I fell like doing a random EX run.

    I like having the option of doing a run solo queue and seeing what I get but now I can't for the hardest content.

    And I like to queue solo for new fights so I can learn them. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of people on my server. Oh well I'll just have to suck it up and try to learn right at release when everyone else is. In the past I would do things at a leisurely pace, but if I do that with these then no group will let me join.

    While I understand somewhat with the idea behind not letting you do it solo right off I am all for options everyone should be let play how they want if thats with randoms or as a whole group its an MMO and we should be allowed to forge our own path so I support letting you solo queue right off ^-^

    So for now think of it as Raid content, 8 man statics and pre-mades, its not "pug material" yet.....Which is fine by me, you can still pug the other extremes when your bored, it does not have to be these fights.

    Part of the fun of 2.1 was proving that these "crazy hard ex fights" actually were "pug material".

    the reason why people did that was, because it was so nearly impossible...But its only 2 weeks then you can pug it

    You can queue solo for coil in 2 weeks after 2.2 is out but not EX Mog and EX Levithan. The 2 new EX modes most likely won't be solo queue until 2.4 when coil 3 is added and we have new higher ilvl content.
