Someone call the cops!

This is a choice your static and FC has made. There is nothing to stop you from recruiting people and splitting your static for a couple weeks to get some of your FC members coil experience. I don't like lockouts either, but the least you can do is make a better effort to bring in your FC instead of blaming everything on SE. Also, if other people want to get into coil, there are always pugs, or they can leave FC and go to one that is building a coil group. So many options, it's a shame you pigeon hole your FC into only running a set static and leaving people behind.

You're missing the point completely. What I am saying is that once I finish coil once for the week I am unable to help my FC friends who haven't do the same. Regardless of whether we're in a static or not that makes no difference since you still can't help your friends once locked out. Basically I am forced to pick 7 people out of my entire FC to do the best content in the game with per week. I should be able to help all my friends, not forced to choose 7 of them to help for the entire week.

If you split 8 experienced members into 8 different groups, you are helping 56 people with coil. You may not personally be in a party helping all of them, but your group is. I personally think the point SE wants is to not let 7 people be holding another persons hand. While that can still happen, they don't want EVERYONE to be doing it, all day long. Not everyone deserves coil gear. They want people to gain experience with groups and learn the fights.

Really? My problem is that I have to choose 7 friends from my FC to play with on a weekly basis and your solution is to stop playing with those 7 friends and play with others instead? Remind me again, how exactly does that solve my problem? Seems like either way I have to tell some friends "sorry, i'm not playing with you this week" in a genre of gaming that revolves almost entirely around playing with other people.
