FC Application?

[NoctisUmbra]

How do you know it hasn't been done before? I've seen people shout for randoms for turn 4 or turn 5 groups. I think its -very- possible to do content without an FC or LS, but most times people will still ask you to join their vent or mumble even though you are a random.

People are shouting for them, sure. Turn 4 probably has been cleared with a PUG. That is to say, it's not very likely but I wouldn't be surprised either. Turn 5 on the other hand, I'm fairly certain a PUG hasn't cleared it. Even for non-FC parties, there is usually a static(LS) involved anyway.

The idea is, Turn 4 and 5 particularly require a solid dose of coordination from all players and in the case of Turn 5, plenty of experience. You typically don't get that by grabbing random people, but rather by repeating attempts with the same group if possible.

Ultimately though, it has nothing to do with it being possible or not. Coordinated FCs will always do it first. Furthermore, people who play well typically enjoy playing with like-minded and equivalently capable individuals and would prefer to tackle all the content the game throws at them together, in an organized fashion. That is what an endgame FC is about.
