It's really my weapon that matters the most, and I don't have that. I never did the alliance raid, so I was unable to upgrade that. I wasn't actively playing the game when the alliance raid came out, and I am hesitant to go in and learn it with my outdated weapon, gear, and just learning it in general this late. Normally, I'd just leave it until next expansion, or wait for the relic weapon. My gear is just tomestone, and that is just on my whm. Nothing augmented. Well, I can get better with the pandemonium raid gear, but that circles, again, around to my original gear being out of date. I also don't like that people will upload my performance along with theirs, and I won't hide it either, because that looks bad. It's a lose lose.

if you want to do abbyssos, you can always go Barbie EX for your weapon.
It's a fun chaotic fight. As chaotic as 14 can get probably.
and hey, the reaper weapon is cool :P

I'd like to do extremes, sometimes, but party finder is what kills it for me.

I don't know how it is in NA, but where exactly do people farm EX? DF/PF? And is there an approved strat for everyone?

Oh no, party finder for sure on NA, but "farm" is a strong word. What happens often is people get carried into one clear so they start joining farm parties, or they clearly don't have the fight down enough to farm, and join farm parties. Then you are spending tens of hours hoping you can actually farm, etc.. It's a complete headache and massive time sink. The kind of time sink where you get nothing accomplished.

That's when you can even get to start joining farm parties, because, unless you get lucky with a party, you are most likely going to be spending tens of hours trying to get a clear through prog parties to begin with!

So DF is pretty much ignored huh.
The complete opposite than JPN servers xD
then again, having an approved strat and macro by the community makes things a lot simpler.
