    It isn't too little too late for the people still leveling and seeing the content for the first time, because believe it or not they actually exist. The policy also applies for all content moving forward, as I am sure they will be keeping an eye out on item level requirements for the future.

    At least you can do your weekly WP/AK runs with your friends to help them gear out and get myth tomes while also preparing them for titan

    Rushed through titan with my AF gear, GC weapon, and i45 accesories. Pass through heart phase and never die in every duty finder group and eventually cleared it.
    You just need good players, including yourself.

    Whatever.

    You were a burden on the rest of the players, grats.

    Also: Being carried through like this is no different at all, to buying a win.

    Because if the 7 others in the group were similarly geared as you were, you would've been able to clear it through pure "skill".

    Whatever helps you sleep at night.

    As a dpser I can see that as a possibility as long as you avoided everything you can avoid. However, if all the other dps players had GC weapons the group would not have been able to pass the dps check during the heart phase, so you were still carried. Now, tanking Titan HM with a GC weapon is perfectly doable (I did it because after 60 or so Ifrit/Garuda runs the RNG still hated me), but I also did it with full DL armour. For a tank on Titan HM it's an armour check, not a weapon check.

    Is it crazy to suggest there are just as many undergeared players getting carried through titan as geared players getting carried through titan?

    On one hand you have an ilvl55 alt that knows the fight and survives to the end then an ilvl70 guy who's been stuck on the fight for months and still can't make it more than 60 seconds into phase 5.

    Which guy is getting carried?

    An iL55 alt is much different than OP's example of dragging someone to relic quest completion immediately upon hitting their first 50.

    Someone getting their alt a relic is more likely to be geared enough since they would have done dungeon runs to get the philo stones for their first relic which would mean they probably have gotten gear drops that are good enough to enter and possibly a primal weapon.

    To be perfectly honest, it's a shame it wasn't here MUCH sooner. The damage has already been done at this point.
    :/

    Purposely carrying, and/or being carried in return doesn't promote anything healthy. I mean, people in pure AF gear or worse in relics, really?

    Do you guys remember picking up that random player to fill out your group to do a quick Titan? Remember when that player had four relics but was still unable to dodge plumes or landslides? Pepperidge Farm remembers. (carrying people is bad)
