Confused about Savage rules..?

[Viuiji]

The same happened to us when we tried to help an FC member with A1S. I accidently clicked us into A1S as I thought it would count our progress from the lowest person, but for some stupid reason the game decided that we could take a person that had yet to clear even the first floor into the third one. After that he was locked into that floor for the rest of the week, which sucked.

I don't know why it works like this. Theoretically you could always have some team taking you into A4S weekly until you clear it, without ever touching the precious floors. I think this is (yet another) hindsighy in SE's programming that they can't be bothered to change.

That's what I've started to think, so theoretically, I can just skip floors 1-3 and get the good loot/manifesto from A4S. Makes no sense..

Is it 2013 again?

I only started playing FF14 in Feb this year (also my first ever MMO), so am not sure what you mean by this?

I did try to look up some info and found this at http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...b7f1d6f626c5c5

Progress within Alexander: Gordias (Savage) is saved as you advance through each area. Party members who have completed a given area may challenge it again if they meet the entry requirements.

Isn't an entry requirement to have beaten A1S?
