The biggest problem from what I'm reading is that people who have cleared/completed content and are farming for something will most likely not accept a group member who hasn't experienced it yet.

I just started playing and reading this thread makes it a bit discouraging to level with all the elitists in the game. I know it's not the majority but, even a few bad apples ......

What does this thread have to do with elitism? Can you point out some things you think back up your claim, or do you just randomly say things?

All the party finder crap is asking for experienced people and they do completion checks or whatever. Learning parties have been awful. I know the fight, just I can't do it alone.

That's why I'm still stuck on Titan Ex / T5 too, I know I can do them easily, it's just the other 7 people :/ Those "Must have cleared" pts bug me, because what about the people who know the entire fight, can do said entire fight, but haven't won it because other people sucking? "Experienced only" parties are sometimes worse than learning ones. I've joined a few and 9/10 times, I'm usually the last alive (that last try, usually someone else is alive with me) and it just feels like people joining it, expecting to be carried.

I'm actually tempting to just pay for a win, but you know, actually do the fight, more so paying for people who know how to dodge, just so I can finally get on with newer content lol It's getting to be a huge let down when I think "Let's see what's going on" and check the PF, only to find that everything listed is stuff I can't do

Make connections? Seek out players of like skill & commitment to form up with regularly.

The power is yours.

Ive been stuck on T5, Garuda EX for about 2 weeks

2 weeks is not really a long time... Most statics take longer to learn T5 than 2 weeks.

Obviously depending on the person, but if you pay attention, you can easily learn a fight's pattern within ~3 tries, of course depending on how far you get, but still, 2 weeks is plenty of time to learn it, problem is finding people who don't flat out suck :/ Not saying everyone does, it just seems the majority who don't, are already in a static, then theres the rare few who don't suck, who aren't in a static and can't progress...because of said people who suck lol

Isn't whole point of MMO is to play with other people? Why then does the OP think that his own timeline for clearly some arbitrary content mile marker is the MOST important thing? Sound like the OP would rather play a single player game solo. The OP needs to invest time in other player and form the static he needs. That timeline is certainly dependent on other players and building a relationship/connection with them.

Well, someone just hit the nail on the head.

yep , ppl wiped for hours on the encounters, after finally killing the content....guess what? they dont want to wipe anymore....they already did before.

and wiping for a friend until he learns its ok because its maybe 1 or 2 friends max......but ppl dont like wiping because a random stranger joined a farm party and died on the 1 mechanic isnt that fun.

and that how 1 kick = fail partys were created :P

and ppl usually have 0 reasons to go back and do content , primals for example once u get your drops ? why bother? (other than static farming or helping some1....)

Sure totally possible in 2 weeks with the ease of gearing and the echo. I just don't think saying, I tried for two weeks shows a lot of effort and doesn't inspire much sympathy. Maybe others feel differently? /shrug
