How is Skirmish "Fuss Free Content"?

[Hyrist]

Hey Lurex. Sit in Limsa and shout for a party. Or Uldah. You will get one relatively quick, regardless of what job. Skirmish is hot and probably will be so for the remainder of the game version.

As far as "Like Campaign" you really have to stop nit picking. Campaign like content isn't even possible with this engine and that's been a spoke rule since we were first explained the situation.

Even without a linkshell, you should have little to no issue getting into Skirmish, especially now. Pressing to do so might even net you another linshell - that actually has active members. Why you keep six dead ones is beyond me. If you friends were long gone, then you should have been looking for new ones a long time ago.

Sorry, I neglected to answer the question.

It's fuss free as you don't need eight to enter.

It's fuss free that completing it = 1 guaranteed weapon drop speedrunning = 2. There's no RNG to worry over.

It's fuss free that these weapons are salable, meldeable, convertible, and better than crafted items.

It's fuss free in that it contains monsters that would elsewhere be limited to raid content, world bosses, scripted battles, etc, that you would need to actually do research to even find or reach.

Perhaps you have never experienced any of these fusses, and have ones differing from the Developer's definition, and that's fine. But your fusses are not about the content itself, but your lack of networking ability. The content itself is relatively easy to get into compared to the bulk of other content in this game.

Thanks, what is the "fuss free battle content" though?

That's pretty interesting, if Skirmish includes all of the "dungeon bosses". Then the event does act like a training regimen for players to adjust to the strategy of certain mobs so it's easier for them to join groups in which they want you to know what to do beforehand.

OP is talking about a fuss free content and skirmish certanly isn't. If it is hard or not it's another subject. I wish all white knights would just once see beyond their own fat belly.

*There's no pre-requisite quest unless you count being in a Grand Company.

*You don't have to gather any items to get rewards (like with Primals)

*The content is not incredibly difficult for a group of 8, so it's not out of the question to PUG it.

I'd say that's pretty fuss-free. Finding a party is probably the hardest part lol.

And I wish the crybabies would exercise a fraction of effort into their game instead of complain at mere thought of requiring a shadow of initiative to do or get something.

But neither of us are ever going to get our way, so why don't you deal with your problems instead of expecting someone else to?

Because solving mine is illegal in every civilized country I know of.

I do Gramul, but its fruitless, because most don't use it. So I'm left standing here shouting to join a party of 5 who are trying to find others. Point is, this is not "fuss free content".

Funny thing is, everyone wanted this player search feature so badly so they can flag themselves as lfg in search. I think just because it is GUI instead of a txt command, people still wont use it. People are still sitting mainly in Uldah shouting as they did before it was added.....

I put up party recruitments all the time for things I need to get done or want to do, and only the JP players ever use it. NA/other players continue to remain oblivious to the feature....

Which version of XI did you play? Despite all the DRK jokes, I see them in every bit of content.

Which version did you play? DRK and DRG weren't exactly in high demand the first 4-5 years

The only way it could be more fuss free is if you could solo it... If you can't find 3 people to go with you then you might not want to play a MMO.

I take it back, I guess actually having to fight the monsters might cause a bit of fuss ><;

I don't consider any of those above comments "fuss free". All my friends in game left long time ago, and most of the 6 ls's I have are empty. Gosh, I was thinking this would be like Campaign, what a big let down.

Cry me a river!

I can name 6 ls's on my server that have over 50 members. How's is it with you having all 50's
you can't find a LS with people in it on your server. (just speculation) you must have a horrible personality.
