Lack of Coil static? Hmmm!

LOL.

Believe what you want, but I find coil very fun. I look forward to every reset so i can run them again. The fact that the fights are more challenging than any other content is a big part of that. I like that doing coil taught me to be a better player. I like having different clothing options.

But i think the thing i love most about doing coil is group-learning with a static tbh. Obviously, this may vary from static to static, but in the statics I've been a part of, pressure to perform is always in a very good place. There's enough of it there that people try their best, but at the same time, everyone understands that the group is learning together. Mistakes happen. Wipes happen (lots of them). Until suddenly they don't. Things just click in a really wonderful way, and the feeling of accomplishment after that first win (and often several wins after) is awesome.

Coil aside, having a static for other content makes the game so much funner. No more rolling the dice on ex primals and hoping 7 other randoms can play the fight. No more diving into dungeons w/ stupid dps who ignore mechanics that shouldn't be ignored. Crafting/gathering buddies (if they're into that). Farming without having 7 other ppl to outroll.

That's not to say that statics are drama free, but the amount of time and effort that my statics have saved me trying to accomplish my in-game goals has exponentially outweighed the stress they've caused me.

So much this. I spend a lot of time with people in my static even outside of raid time. We are all in different FC's so the raid leader set up a linkshell for us and for good solid people that regularly sub for us. There's usually at least one person to run dungeons/trials with, farm light, etc. We'll get together as a static sometimes and do SCoB/EX primals, WoD/ST/CT for the weekly, and whatever else we feel like doing. A lot of us are avid crafters/gatherers so there's that as well. We kind of have a little crafting circle going, lol. ^^
