As somebody who has been around about a year I will say he's probably referring to FC when he means static because as many you know if you came from world of Warcraft most raiding in that game is done through guild and you need a guild that meets your requirements to progress where is this game it's a little bit different at as your statics generally aren't FC and you have a pretty healthy pug/pf system in this game. Though I will say getting raiding as somebody that doesn't want to go through pf is a challenge if you're new because a lot of the statics tend to use logs and add-ons to judge members or want somebody with experience and if you don't have that you're pretty much stuck in pf, or not doing the content. I myself decided to forgo the content because I couldn't find a static that would take my friends and me being we're very green and we decided just to try to progress criterion since it only requires four and it's supposed to be difficult content (please give better rewards in 7.0)
