Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

I don't even understand your point. Why would I think the end-game community is bad for not wanting to spend their time with inexperienced players when trying to farm content? Sure, the inexperienced players are paying their sub too, but that entitles them to game time, not to other players' time. It is to be expected that when players, not just end-game players, any players, want to repeatedly clear any piece of content in a fast amount of time for whatever reward (be that dungeons, coil, pvp or whatever), they're going to want to fill their party with players experienced in that content. And of course, they have to make that known. Would you prefer they didn't lay out the rules or desires of their party in a visible description before joining? Just so inexperienced players would unwittingly join a "farm" party and immediately be kicked for holding back the party?

And you don't have to be in a static to ready yourself for coil farming. My FC has several people in it that are returning players, but they are GOOD players (that is the distinction). They can (and have) easily fill a spot in on my statics' party and learn FCOB and get their clear in a short amount of time, and go on to join PF farms. So yes, that people who want to (I personally don't care enough to farm FCOB, screw rng at this point, bring on Alexander tokens) certainly can make their experienced players only PFs. There's more than enough players that can come together from other statics and free companies (my static members have been PFing coil pretty much all day every week, statics don't just stick together and farm by themselves).

If you are a good player, and sociable, you can get yourself where you need to be. It may be overwhelming, but you just have to find the right spot. Get into learning parties, find an FC that actually does shit, don't just complain about elitists not carrying you while you sit back and do nothing because everything is too hard and toxic.

Omg, I literally had this moment the other day when one of my own FC mates asked my husband, my officer and I all to help him clear Moogle EX. We had already helped him before (though we were kinda ambushed with that one) and it was awful. He had no idea what he was doing at all. He destroyed whatever moogle he could and wouldn't lay off my BLM moogle even though I told him to stop and do something else. We tried to explain to him that you can't just kill the moogles all willy nilly and we even asked if he had watched a video... >_> He had skimmed it.


Then he asked us the other day to do it again and we asked if he had gone into DF or PF at all and attempted without us. He hadn't but he offered up, "Well, as long as I take down the archer and BLM, it should be fine, right?"

We explained to him again that the fight wasn't like that all and he really needed to do research for it before attempting to get us involved.
We seriously had wasted over 2 hrs with the original night we attempted with him. 2 hrs that he hadn't even bothered to prepare for.

I do not want to spend all my time dragging inexperienced players around on the dirt while I clean up their mistakes.

Troll post, but I'll bite. i130 DRG; have not cleared T13. My work is pretty demanding so I cannot commit to a static as I might not be able to raid on a set schedule (which a lot of professional people will concur).

And fyi, due to the clearing of the loot cap, there are SO many parties now both farming AND learning. People who are in the same boat as you where they cannot join statics are more than welcome to join T13 learning parties. On my server alone, there were 5 last night. 5 last night after 7pm PST. Statics are not a necessity at this point for many people.
