Final coil in duty finder

I honestly don't see a problem with having at least some content that requires a committed group working together. This is an MMO, not a single player game; there should be some things that have to be approached as a static group, not as a group of randoms.

I think a lot of people view statics as being far more complicated than they have to be. Are there some statics who are hardcore and raid multiple days a week for hours at a time? Sure. But there are also just as many like mine and like the one I sub in for sometimes, which are just groups of players who enjoy playing together and like to challenge content together. Mine raids for maybe a total of three or four hours a week, often less because sometimes people can't all be online at the same time. Half the time our raid times end up being a case of "Oh hey, all 8 of us are on, let's go for a little while." We still were able to down T9 in about a month. Now we're excited to get to try our hand at Final Coil.

What incentive is there to get to know other players and put a group together if everything is DFable right off the bat?

Yeah, that's nice and all until the game dies down and those "committed" players stay "committed" to their own groups and you'll be going "waaahhh, there's no one joining this group I formed in PF; waaah, no one in the FC is available; waaaahhh LFG is dead".

It would be nice to have this MMO implement a contingency plan now rather than later and to have the option (key word here) to group with friends and tackle hard content rather than it be forced to group with people you don't know because, let's face it, friends leave, FC's die and those "randoms" you look down on will be the only source of manpower you have for tackling that content.

I'm showing my age, but I made life-long friends in MMO's by grouping with them when I first knew them as "randoms". And unfortunately those friends move on to other MMO's, so it's a cycle. You haven't experienced it yet (doesn't sound like you have) so I wouldn't put my eggs all in one basket if you seriously want to play this game long time.
