    After 3 weeks of failures, that's what I did. I even made sure to indicate that rule applies to me too, and the first party I made beat Titan EX in 2 tries.

    I refused to buy a carry no matter how frustrated I got, because I'm a firm believer that if I have to buy a carry for this to win, then that's going to be a trend for future difficult challenges. At that point, it'd be clear that this game is not the right game for me.
    Then you get people bitching about elitist PF groups who kick people who fail at mechanics. There are plenty of sour grapes to go around!

    I guess the only way to play the game it to be a bleeding heart that gives up all their time to help anyone and everyone progress for 10 hours to get one titan ex kill.

    You'll get your shiny but it doesn't matter. You end up being a repeat customer and pay a gil subscription.
    There is a lot of truth in this statement. We have a client list of repeat buyers. We sold to a guy last night who has bought at least 15 primal runs before. He is good enough to join an FC and run with a static; yet, he is more than happy to pay us to run his toon and his son's toon through content.

    But those "elitist party finders" are not in the wrong. That's actually exactly what the PF is designed for: so people can search for specific types of players to play with. I'll never understand why people complain about those PF entries.

    I agree, everyone is free to make a group as they wish. I don't understand why people feel the need to be so judgmental of people who wish to play efficiently. No one walks into a fight for the first time and is 100% pro at it. There is a lot of time investment already paid by players who downed content. Personally, I don't want to "learn" the fight again with a new group because I already put my time in learning the fight. A few mistakes are understandable; however, wiping for two hours to get one kill is not what I would consider efficient when I can just do the fight with my static and one shot it.
