The cycle of disbanding that keep casuals from doing content

[Remilia_Nightfall]

don't pretend the problem does NOT exist nor you get to pretend that it is easy to solve.

I never said it's easy to solve. I said it's hard, since it requires people to actually man up and take things into their hands instead of waiting to be spoonfed.

Hard, but doable. Do it. Like all raiding statics and FCs did before you. ("you" as a general term. Not "you" specifically, as I do not know your specific situation).

...actually man up and take things into their hands instead of waiting to be spoonfed.

"Man up"? Really misogynist term there now, as if there are no female players.

"Spoonfed"? The OP is not asking to be spoonfed nor are the majority of the players. Don't make these groundless false accusation.

...Hard, but doable. ...

Yep hard to find a static, hard to create a static, hard to build a static, and hard to manage/maintain a static. And only doable to the extent that people want to work together. So that is why I will always advocate that players be more inclusive and look to work together and help everyone. And if some them are expressing their frustration and the difficulty they are having, cut them some slack and give the benefit of the doubt that they are doing all they know or all they can to progress and that they are not asking to be "spoonfed". Empathize with them and not be dismissive of them.

Seriously? Ok, "woman up", then? Are you really debating about this, now?

And what exactly does "being more inclusive" and "work together and help everyone" means, in practical terms, exactly?

That is how men are treated this days. Don't even try to deny it.

I'm fully willing and able to help kill T5. If the people are COMPETENT. But all we see day in and day out on these forums are people crying because divebombs or conflags or whatever else are too hard. If you just can't fill a group and your on Couerl. Tell me what u need (heal, tank, dps) and I'll do it. If you can't beat it because your incapable of following a simple simon says mechanic... You are beyond any competent players help and are asking for a carry.

That's 99.9999999% impossible with these types.
