Was Coil 2 and Ramuh extreme over tune?

[mDaWg]

I have issues clearing T5. Not because I'm bad at it, but because I don't have the luxury of a static party filled with competent people. Competent statics can clear just about any kind of content this game has to offer without difficulty. The trouble with static groups, however, is that many of them have a very low patience threshold and an even shorter temper, which is not at all fun to deal with.

Maybe I'm just too much of a casual, but I'm not yet willing to sacrifice fun and enjoyment for progression in this game yet.

It sounds more like you have social issues more than anything else. At any given time of any given day, I can call upon 7 others with ease to help me do T5, Moogle Ex, Ramuh Ex, or anything other than second coil that is on lockout. Hell, I can shout in Mor Dhona at any given time for selling runs with nobody in my party, wait for someone to bite, then throw a group of me and 6 others to carry people through this content. This is because I've built up my own social network of friends from all different free companies that have the skill to complete content as listed above. It is not mine or anyone else's fault that you are not able to make friends that are actually decent at this game. You absolutely don't need any sort of static for content that is not on lockout and can only be played once per week.

Tell me more about how you one shot SCoB on release day and didn't wait for other people to post the strategies for you.

Never once told you I one shotted SCoB on release day, but we were "server 3rd" (Excalibur - Yes the one with BG) for pretty much everything... not that server 3rd is anything to be proud of, but we completed EVERYTHING up to dive bombs of T9 without a single bit of help from anyone or their videos. You don't know me or who I roll with, so think before you make random judgments with no evidence.

This hostility is exemplary of the exact social situation you insist doesn't exist.

I appreciate your gutso, but "I play in an FC that gets server-third clears" tells me you are about as experienced with being a pubbie at rock-bottom trying to get seen as a wall street banker is with factory work.

Here's a piece of reality: You can't 'network' with those good players who only do the content you're on as favors for prestige or mass amounts of gil.

Maybe instead of talking down to players you don't know, you could instead help them? And I mean actually help them in material ways, not offer half-winded 'advice' that doesn't require you to lift a finger.

There is not enough time in the world for me to help every single person asking for it. I do what I can for those who come to me as a friend, rather than a beggar. For you, all I can or have the time for is to offer advice, so take it.

Your 'advice' is of detrimental value to the community, as it purports lies about situations you don't experience and thus know nothing about. If you can't exert labor to help others, then you can stop exerting labor to hurt them.

Nobody asked for it, and I am certainly not taking it.

My advice makes more than enough sense. You my friend are a QQing fool. Dont take it, fine by me. But enough of the QQing already about how life in a video game is hard. I have been on the other side... when this game came out. I've experience and worked my way through these situations that everyone is QQing over... I knew nobody going in, I had no friends, I used the duty finder for hours to smash my head on a wall to kill titan. From joining shout parties, going in party finder when it came out, and getting to know people who I clearly could see had skill at playing the game, I made friends and connections. This is how you it goes, and that is how you do. If you're just going to QQ all day on the forums about how you can't find good groups and no one will invite you, maybe you're bad and need to either get better and practice more or you're just outright not trying hard enough. .

Literally, with gil, and because the player is paying for access they're deemed inferior by that group automatically and given no chance to succeed except by paying more gil!

(Also, I find it cute when people think that because I primarily hang in PF and do casual content these days that I've never been on the other side of raider culture, and need to 'educate' me on how to assimilate with it...trust me, it's not about making friends *inside* of the game these days, and it certainly isn't about skill demonstrations.)

Again, all I'm hearing is QQ. If you don't want to make friends to get yourself through content, don't play this game, and stop whining.


Also, I played DDR on a pro level for years (more ITG than DDR though). Charts were not memorized. I can tell you that for sure. If you don't believe it, then I have nothing else to say to you, so please stop attacking my posts.

It's really sad that people like this exist. What's worse is how they don't see their views as destructive. If this is an example of high level players, I'd sooner group up with the newbies, thanks. They're more considerate on the whole.

You cannot claim to understand a situation unless you've BEEN in that situation. People who have less time to play (by that I mean can't log in for several hours in one sitting) aren't going to have the same circle of high level friends they can rely on to get through this content. My casual nature is the very reason I don't actually run coil very much, purely because finding members who are online at the same time I am can be very hit and miss. The less said about Duty Finder, the better.

The belief that you're entitled to more than another player for any reason is exactly what's wrong with high level play in this game. I really hope you're not a spokesperson for your guild, because you're putting them in a terribly bad light here.

Most players do not have access to the resources you do by virtue of the attitudes you display to those players. You yourself have attested in the same breath both how crucial a good party is and how your social group won't party with anybody you perceive as inferior without being paid to.

For my wins my resources were party finder. Every last one of them except REX. For him, the people I met during my primal and coil progression invited me to clear REX. If you don't have anyone to do content with at this point you're either.
1. Anti-Social
Or
2. A bad player

You don't need a huge FC or 9 day a week static to clear content contrary to popular belief.
