The cycle of disbanding that keep casuals from doing content

Ok, so by your estimation, asking a teacher to give me an A because I feel like it and I don't want to do homework is a valid approach. Or, telling my boss I should still get paid even though I just half-assed my last project is fine!

Endgame progress is earned, not given. This is also an MMO, so if you fail at properly networking with others, you're not going to get anywhere that requires more than 0 skill to complete.

Hardly. Im saying refusing to help people learn without getting paid a ridiculous price for something many of them are able to beat and just cant get a feasible party of 7 other people to beat it with because someone would rather see them fail so they can cash in a paycheck should have repercussions. If there wasn't -such- a large gap between these two sides to a point people are quitting, it wouldn't be a problem but us small chunk of endgamers able to clear all the content aren't putting the majority of the money into SE's pocket, those casual people who -want- to learn and play are by far the larger chunk of gil for the company. In any case I didn't come here to argue with a Merc about my opinion who obviously would rather see people fail then teach them. With that being said
I end my agruement with:

If you spent hours and weeks and still haven't cleared, there is only one thing in common in all those runs.

The one thing in common is that hours spent waiting and never getting a run started. And you see in the PF people selling T6-9 clears for 60 mil at the same time.

OMG, I'm really holding myself not to be rude with you.
I didn't spend hours and weeks actually DOING the content. 9/10 of that time was spent WAITING to form parties. And also, what kind of progression can you possibly expect when you never do more than 3 tries with the same people?

Don't get forum banned because they say all sorts of crap. This is well known clear seller. See they said so themselves:

... Also, mercing runs is only like 30% of my income, ...

They have a vested interest in making it difficult and demoralize people who are trying to clear without paying their bridge toll.

They get their other 60% probably from RMT sales or buying up all the lots and they making people to pay them to relinquish the lots and other unethical and nefarious means that we don't even try to imagine.

... in any case, that content is not meant for CASUAL gaming.

So what? Learning PFs stay unfilled because people with experience deliberately avoid the "casuals" right, since it is not for "casuals"? Obviously people can not make anyone do anything they don't want to, but to come to the forums and give the OP a hard time for point out the difficulties achieves exactly what? What we see that the hatred and contempt for newer players or newbies coming thru loud and clear.

Well, he won't get anything from me, I have only 240k gil in my char... Lol.

I find it entertaining you bothered to dig through my posts to find that. The other 70% (30+60=90...) is from crafting, but ok.
