    Why can't Coil be in Duty Finder?

    I don't see why this isn't in the Duty Finder, my insane work schedule compels me to play at infrequent times during the days of the week. Which means I have to pug it. typical convo with someone looking to pick me up.

    Random: LF1M Tank for Coil T-whatever BE EXPERIENCED
    Me: Hey, I havent been in coil before but I've watched a million videos blah blah blah.

    Random will give me 1 of three responses

    "Sorry xp only"
    "Fuck you"
    no response

    I mean I could only assume they don't DF coil because they don't want people to complete content too quickly, or they want people to socialize between other humans or some shit. But I pay for this game as well, and I am online damn near everyday(Just at random times.)

    My main has been 50 since early October and I've only cleared turn 1.
    Guess I should accept that casual MMO's dont exist.

    If Coil was accessible in Duty Finder, the success rate would be SO LOW, if you think DF groups for Titan were bad, you have no clue what is in store with coils.

    Best advice I can give you is find a static linkshell for a group that will raid 1-2 nights a week to get your experience.

    The DF would probably just group you with 2 warriors and no bards then wish you luck against ADS.

    The first few turns of coil are not that hard. If DF groups can clear Titan, and there are some that do, even more DF groups would clear T1-T3.

    Yea I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying the success rate would be pretty low. My group is on Turn 5 currently and it still took us more time than a DF group would alot for us to get turns 1-4 down consistently.

    Even if it would be nearly impossible, like Titan, df could be used as a way to practice for it, get used to the layout, skills etc.

    On JP server I can see a lot of shout out first timer coil party, not really less than the experienced groups. Isn't there any on your server?

    If you join Coil with DF and want to do turn2, but the leader you get is at turn4, then you are also locked to turn4 until next week.
    This is one reason why Coil is not in DF

    Well I really hope they add it to DF. Don't really feel like kissing the ass of some elitist pig just to let me join.

    I was able to beat T1 in a pug easy enough, I don't see why that can't be in DF. Not sure about the later turns.
