Issues with Coil: Statics v. The Rest of Us

[NotoriousZow]

This is a big reason why I have had very little interest in Coil. You can't help other people once you pass a turn. I really do not like that. This creates "static groups" within a free company, having some left out hunting and searching for coil groups on their own. It really destroys the whole concept of what a free company is for honestly. I do like to help others, even if I do not have the option of getting loot, and I think more people than you believe will be willing to help out friends and FC members. A Loot lockout would be much preferred to the current way coil is working.

I would agree with you if I didn't think FC's would abuse this by selling coil runs. Which would devalue all gear from coil. If they suddenly made selling runs against the TOS, I would wholeheartedly agree that they should reduce the lockout.

Who cares. We shouldn't be punishing the majority because of a few.

And gear, really... do they have any value? You can buy anything ilvl 90 from a NPC, while doing the weakest level 50 dungeon in the game.

I dunno, I don't see an issue with this. It'd be fabulously expensive, so the player would either be spending their time gil farming to pay for it or equipment farming to get geared enough to go. Either way, the time is spent, unless ofc they're using RMT which IS against the ToS.

Truth. I totally feel the same way, and its this sadness that led me to create this thread. As it stands now, coil is a restrictive, cliquish mess.
