why no party accept me in coil?

[Moriix]

gear is a big part of this game but i really saw players walking thru aoes and attacks because they have a DL gear or higher where others do great work dodging them and memorizing the bosses rotations

skills matter and you will be a bad headache if you were not skilled (not knowing how to use the best of your class) even if you had +90 gear .

for coli you sure need better gear but not necessary experienced ,you just have to know about the dungeon by reading or watching video .

most of people i met here (not all) are not willing to help or just lazy to do so , i wish SE make the DF option for coli it would be essayer to get a group instead of wasting time shouting for a group that may not accept you b/c its your 1st time .

You're supposed to watch Youtube videos and say you're experienced.

my friend used to say that after he got tired of it and now he have his own coli group and they do pretty good job ,
its sad but true .

Like others have said, having experience is a big plus and will get you into more parties, but also if you were saying that you had Full DL on monk that could be contributing to some of the problem, as the full darklight set together on monk is rather underwhelming, and many know this, so when they hear/see full DL on monk they often will turn them down in my experience.

This makes no sense.
So...in order to be accepted into a raid that offers gear better than Darklight (his current set) he needs to have gear better than Darklight?

Find a FC or LS that does Coil and get into a static group.

Don't lie about experience. People can check your achievements and see you haven't gotten the wins.

As some has said before me, do your homework! Watch videos, read forums, then you aren't really "new" or "unexperienced", you have some basic knowledge of the fights. I do this and then don't tell people I'm new, with half a brain you will do fine.

On a similar note, last nihgt someone in my FC said something like: "Gaa Im in such a fail group. Running this place for the first time and getting no instructions." That is akin to being carried in my opinion. Never expect someone to explain stuff to you, empower yourself with knowledge!

I have done fights for the first time where I'm the one explaining it to others, just because I come prepared.

exactly , others already helping you by adding you to their party so atleast know how the fights work to help them in-return .

Welcome to why I doubt I'll be playing MMOs much longer.
Seems people don't like to learn by doing anymore... Sadly I can't watch Youtube videos and understand squat. I have to see things for myself.

you dont have to spend hours watching or reading about it ,, its just to get the idea where to go and what to do forexampl open a page and read about garuda fight while you wating for the DF instad of doing nothing ,, and the fun starts when you play and exp it if its easyer or harder then what you thought ..

I lead my own coil group outside of FC. So we are a bunch of people from different FCs.
We changed 2 members recently. Because one had rl issues and one got bored of the game.

I picked people based on this criteria
1) Cool people who can hang out with my current members.
2) Minimum gear check
3) Don't have to be super good player but have to be a patient team player. Everyone dies in coil, but learning is a important experience. Raging is not a exciting experience for everyone else in the party.
4) Passionate about the game still.

In general, we look for people who are fun to play with. Not really a super geared person who makes everyone unhappy. It is about making the process fun. I suggest making some friends and hang out with people more in LS/FC, etc. You will naturally get a good party imo.
