Best Gear in Coil needs to end

[Bigpurpleharness]

This worries me myself because I'd like to progress through things at some point. All in all just my opinions.

I just refuse to PUG T5 or higher anymore. It's far too much of a headache, and paired with coil being the end-all of gear, I just don't have anything to do for progression besides grinding a single 4 man for honestly, poor gear. I can't get a static on my schedule (Medic on a 24/48, in pre-med to boot), and now I have... Uh, well, nothing really. Animus is waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time for being inferior to drops I've seen terribad healers get. (Still love the WHM who didn't know cure 3 was AoE, or that regen was actually good who got coil drops before more skilled players)

I don't know, the game's just kinda lost on me now. It's moving further and further away from being fun for those without statics. Which, oh well, I don't have metric tons of free time, so it won't exactly be hard to find a replacement. Currently, my no bonfire/death run of DS2 is occupying my time, and I enjoy the challenge of the game on that, not the challenge of finding 7 people who aren't horrible with my schedule.

I have time right now and I don't think I fare much better in the way of progressing with things. For those that are playing on the side of College or a serious Job that isn't part-time, your time is going to be especially limited. When someone wants to progress through something, you're going to be doing the graveyard shift or something. You kind of can progress some things without being part of a group, but it's safer to just have one so you can avoid the headaches of randoms and hoping they all know what to do. No one minds explaining something if it makes the run go smoother, but doing it over and over and thinking "well I'm glad I helped those other ten people, but when am I gonna get some **** done" isn't the most fun.

It's probably only going to continue on like this over time as well unless the progression starts becoming more horizontal.

Well honestly, it just hinges on your schedule being static. My wife for instance works 6am to 3pm every day but Tues/Weds, she has found multiple groups that work with her. I however have a 24/48 which means every week, my days on change. Pair that with pre-med, and there's no god damn way I'm finding a static. If someone finds a static that coincides with that (And not "Oh they go whenever people are on/need it/another bs 'schedule'." I'll give them a million gil.
