A new expansion is coming out and raids are still Crap

[TheRogue]

As for the second point, I would disagree here. You can easily find pugs for all the current tier raid. As I'm writing this right now, there's a fresh practice for O9s, farming party for O10s, Panto prog for O11s and clear group for O12s (and right now is not even the time for a lot of players to be active).

I have completed all savage raids this expansion without having a static. I've pugged them all at my free time starting from fresh practice for each fight and joining the appropriate prog parties after till I reach enrage then I jump to clear ones after I optimize my DPS. And there are times where I don't find the appropriate prog level group so I make my own. Yes, sometimes it can take an hour to fill up or a couple of minutes, but that's based on what time of the day you're playing at. So I never dealt with log issues for clear runs, since they can't even discuss it in game chat. And people only bother to check your logs if it was a weekly run.

I don't know how things are done on EU servers, but here in NA, we always start by joining practice runs (AKA fresh or blind run). Then we jump to the appropriate phase prog group based on how far you reached in the practice run. When you reach enrage, that's when you start joining clear groups. And once you clear, you start joining weekly runs. And there's always parties up for different types of progs. Statics only post in Party Finder if they needed a sub for one of their members. But they also post in their party description if they're a practice, prog, clear or weekly.

2.See,this is my point.Do you realize how much progress you need to do before even joining in actual raid group that can complete it?You explained it clearly so i will not go over it again but he is a new player and there is no way that he can realize people's acceptance raid.Can you tell that you would be accepted in to a final group without doing any of them you mention before?We,old players can easily understand the way of doing this.It will seem to us like a basic logic,on the other hand new players cannot realize this easily.This will be the steps they follow.Look for parties on the PF>find a party(and it will probably be a completion group)>join the party>get rejected by the party>try finding practice parties on Duty Finder>Wait 30 min and got nothing(This is where complaints start)>realize that you need to find practice parties on PF too>Join one of them>Wipe after few seconds>Give up and create a thread on the forum.

Well if you see the enrage state with the practice group, you can label your "Practice"party as GOD TIER.
I played in both NA(Gilgamesh) and EU(ODIN) more than one years each.Actually i recently transferred to Odin.I can easily tell that in EU, it is far worse.See even in this tread first thing that some of them did was looking for his achievements.

For everyone saying that he has a mount and so he cleared.

He didn't clear o4/8s while they were relevant he cleared/got carried/bought the run with echo, my guess.
I saw him once at Seiryu he did bad and blamed the part and for bad I mean really bad.

I'm sorry, not sorry. Hate the whiners and people full so full of theirself that blames others instead of accepting they'rent the best in the world when its obviously to everyone the contrary.

*If you're looking to offend me I've just came back from army 1 month ago, i didn't current raid tier, peace (y)

I hate how i have to look for a group for months and not find one and when you find one they expect you to know every fight, i hate how the game is 1 room 1 boss, can you please fix this raid mess and stupid mechanics thanks. you know its stupid when one mistake wipes the whole group and you entitled to practice it when theirs not even a single practice run for raids in eu centers or Free company/Static unless your a f*** girl.

Well on this one I feel you always had difficulty to find parties for practice even before the DC split.

[TheRogue]

Why single me out? I'm far from the only (or best) person to bring up that this person is his own worst enemy here lol.

I am not trying to single you out.I agree with you but he actually has some good points.It shows the true viewpoint of beginners.Every expansion we are building everything on top of our previous experiences.We are cool but newcomers have to jump from the beginning to the endgame. Dev team is also aware of this but they built the game twice and they cant change the core again(Even though they see this as a big problem).Especially SE cannot afford any core player loss so this will continue.By the fourth expansion trust me we will be hearing A LOT.

My body is Ready!Cheers!

My point was more that one shouldn't call him a liar on something he didn't lie about. IMO I don't agree with the OP either and feel they are trying to come off too aggressive on purpose but it still makes others look bad when they accuse him of lieing when he isn't (atleast on that case. Can't say one way or another on the kefka part. Also that they couldn't even bother to spell Exdeath right.)

Well all i can tell you is that he's a really low dps paladin main, saw him in Seiryu, if he bought/got carried by others in Kefka/Exdeath, his stuff. But the whole "I'm better than you" part he pulled off, triggers me when I saw him and he's far from even average.

[SannaR]

Yes new people can struggle finding a group and clearing things, but they're also trying to find a group at one of the worst times in a patch cycle. The reason people are calling him out is because he said he cleared this or that when they were the current tier and then adds on the I'm better then you part. Course even if he didn't there would still people who'd look up his info to see if he really has a point or not. Coil and Alexander both had trash before their bosses except for a few and even in normal Alex people got tired of doing the trash.

... It shows the true viewpoint of beginners.Every expansion we are building everything on top of our previous experiences.We are cool but newcomers have to jump from the beginning to the endgame.!

Can we just agree that playing for over a year and a half no longer makes someone a 'beginner' in this game? Especially when someone brags about savage clears that date back to 2017/2018?

(Yeah, I know, I don't raid. That doesn't invalidate my point.)

[WaterShield]

i gurantee you am so much better then you least i killed kefka savage when it was still new.

The troll is strong with this one.

Nice lies

Nothing wrong with the raid scene.
