Content sellers and Party Finder

Some people also pay just to have 7 other competent players. Just because somebody buys, doesn't mean they're 100% incompetent.

You may know how to dodge and execute, but that won't mean the 7 other people in your team can do the same when you get a pug

Can't this person find 7 other people in the same situation?

Some players are the cause and just don't know it. >.>;

Yes, but it's rare. I can't count how many times I've been in fail Ex primals (Garuda to Levi) and T4 PFs all because of a few players who lie about having experience. If I had the gil, I'd gladly buy a competent party so I can get what I still need. I'm sick and tired of failed pugs, and 90% of the time, the people causing the fails refuse to listen and keep repeating the same mistake that causes wipe after wipe

You are now branded a hardcore elitist, have fun

Thanks, I will have fun.

I see people buying content clear service all the time. They've cleared it themselves already (seeing how as some of them are in FCs I know that run statics). A lot of the time it's mostly from people who are in statics that run once a week and want to get more runs in (T1-5 + EX primals).

If you've got the money and want to get a certain piece of gear (esp. in T5) then paying someone to ensure a clear doesn't seem like an issue.

As for those paying for clears on primals (specifically Titan EX) because they can't get past it. Again, if you have the $$$ then go for it. I mean you're buying into an economy that will probably gouge you pretty good all things considered. When the service is limited at best, you can expect the amount to be paid before completion to be fairly high (upwards of hundred/s of thousands of gil).

On goblin a T5 clear costs 3 million gil, just as a frame of reference for ya.

Actually some people buy who a "Carry" aren't buying a carry
They have the ability to do it and are actually buying a group who can clear it without failing 100 times
I.e a fc friend of mine a really good player couldn't find a decent group after 4 weeks he bought a group and cleared it straight away

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.



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.

How so?

It is incredibly frustrating when people who have "experience" can't deal with the basics of certain content... Don't run through tornadoes... don't stand in front of the dreadnoughts... any number of things in the current crop of content that people seem to not be able to handle... don't provoke titan while ur behind him (mountain buster to the entire party).

That does not make him or myself an elitist hardcore... I wouldn't pay for a run myself but if someone wants to to ensure that they don't have to deal with dumbasses then that is fine with me.

also, before I get jumped on, I am mre than willing to teach people and be patient, so long as they show progress and competence. We all make mistakes, but suffering fools isn't a requirement of the game

Oh no someone needs a new sarcasm detector
