Any way you could give players incentive to do Mog Ex?

Try doing CT now. As a tank I had queues of up to 3 hours before they finally popped. Some lasted so long I forgot I was even in queue.

Part of the reason myself and others want/need to get this content is so we can do Ramuh Ex. Which kind of makes no sense that certain primal EX fights are a prerequisite for Ramuh Ex. The fights dont exactly share a storyline between them so they really dont have much of a reason to lock players from doing Ramuh Ex. The only thing that should be a prerequisite for a primal Ex fight is having cleared the HM version first.

Mind you that doesn't solve the queue time problems for the fights. But it definitely would make things a simpler process.

As for CT, I am not at all surprised the queue times are insanely long now. No one wants to bother going in for ilvl 80 gear when they can get i90 gear from hunts easily or i100 gear from ST. Problem is, you have to clear CT before you can do ST, so that makes it extremely difficult for new players to get caught up or enjoy content.

I did Thornmarch EX earlier for the first time, via DF at that, and we got down to the final push each time and only wiped due to MC not being removed off the 3 players. It didnt SEEM overly difficult as a whole, but maybe partly becuase 7 out of 8 people knew their jobs. Only problem was the other tank was tanking king mog across the entirety of the map so I would have to run far to voke him off, and like I said, the mind control not being removed.

I'm sure next time I run it won't go nearly as smooth, but I've been surprised before. Titan DF was a victory, but Ifrit DF was never an option and always failed until I joined a PF.

Time to create Duty Roulette: Trials (Extreme).
Problem solved?

Uh... Ramuh didn't get nerfed though, they fixed the Titan tank bug... that's all they did. Ramuh still has Tight DPS checks and annoying mechanics. The reason that people don't do Ramuh is because he's annoying to PUG, and the rewards aren't really worth it.

Has nothing to do with a nerf.

Never said it had anything to do iwth a nerf. Though I will admit nerf was the wrong word to use, its dead content for the above reasons and they need to do something about it, its the least done primal.

You would be surprised how bad this fight can be to get completed. Its not hard this is true, but there is so much going on that missing esuna/leeches or not getting enough damage off in time to stop flare, etc can cause wipes very quickly. It's quickly catching up to my score on Titan Ex fails...
The only problem with this and many of the other primal fights is that they take so long to get into, and I'm honestly getting so sick of the wait that I've nearly given up even trying to get it.

There already is an incentive, it's gil. Unfortunately if SE tries to encourage players to play one particular piece of content, it will take them from somewhere else. Just look at hunts, it's quite apparent that almost everything else has suffered. If people don't want to play old content, then they won't.

Basically, you missed the kill train.

Normally I'd suggest something like extreme primals having a chance to drop a satchel of allied seals, but I have a feeling that would also have negative repercussions on people trying to learn the fights.

Im too trying to beat moggle ex. Mainly for the vanity loot. But doing moggle ex in DF is the most painful thing ive ever done in this game. Ive done it 15 times in df. 4 times we got to second phase and whm wiped us. 10 times we voted abandon after 3 wipes cause we had new ppl killing the blm at the start like in HM. And of course the only speak french and still search for english groups...
One time we got it to 1% it was my first try ever and I think 6 of my members were in the same fc/pf group. We didnt kill him at the end though cause our only melee was new and didnt lb the king.

Point of my story? Dont even try DF it

I've had the same experience as DF with PF peoples too. DF or PF it doesn't seem to make a difference. Although its gotten alot harder to get a PF together now. To be honest, its not just Moogle EX. All the other Primals need some queue time love too.

Amazingly the queue was only 20-30 mins for this weekend so I ran it about 8 or ten times. Still failed horribly on all but one queue. Unfortunately with the weekend dwindling away the queue times will go with it :P
