    2.1 Crystal Tower

    http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Updates/page2

    So apparently we can't form organized 24 mans for Crystal Tower. Thoughts from the raiding community?

    I read that it's iLvL 55 minimum with iLvL 80 loot. You can't form groups of 24 (8 only) and for people using iLvL90 the only benefit is vanity gear.

    I don't even know what to say... what a let down.

    I'm pretty sure it was always stated for a LONG time that CT is meant to be in a tier lower than Coil. You should take some antidepression pills if you are let down for all those months.

    Why did you even make the sub in first place, since the info was already known?

    Disappointed by the PUG factor of the CT, which certainly wasn't known. I couldn't care less for iLvL80 gear, but it was at least something to do with my FC friends until 2.2 was released.

    You've made a HUUUUUUGE mistake with this. Not being able to queue with a full premade for a raid? You don't do regular patching/hotfixes and instead do massive patches with long wait times between. This means that your only raid, which has been cleared for some time now, will be the only actual raid content for some time to come.

    We built our entire FC around having three, solid Coil groups with the full intention of diving into Crystal Tower as a Free Company and ONLY as a Free Company. We were fine with the gear being 10 iLvl lower than Coil but we absolutely will not pug raid content.

    As a result of this implementation choice, you are going to lose a majority of your raiders. You can mark that down.

    "long wait times" I dunno, 3 months isn't the end of the world. Faster might be nice but really you want monthly content?... weekly? hourly? OMG i just finished the last thing I must have it now?
    and "your only raid, which has been cleared for some time now," ... so COIL turn 5 which was legitimately cleared 2 months? after release, and most groups shortly after the release of a video (so they were close, and we don't know how far without the video but given the complaining on the forums I can assume fairly far)

    I was expecting to have be able to enter with 24... but really entering with 8 isn't horrible, and they didn't say they wouldn't add alliance-like entry at a later date, it's just not coming out when the content is released.

    I've always expected CT to be FFXIV's equivalent to WoW's raid finder. So if you're familiar with that, the notion of running raid finder with a full 24 man premade is retarded to begin with. Really not bothered by this.

    The problem is that people can't play with their FC members, not anything to do with difficulty.
