I think I have not choice but to leave...

I was really excited about 2.1 but the amount of content it added just isn't enough. CT a few times a week at most doesn't do much.

I would love to farm Ultima/EX for their drops on my alts but at this point there is only really two options. Join the FC with lots of good players where half of them are the most vile humans you can find or play with lots of friendly people that absolutely cannot handle it.

I get the feeling there is going to be a lot of people running into this exact problem. There is a massive jump in difficulty from t4/HMs to t5/EM. I have run into similar problems in other games but usually there is a bit more room to carry/overgear content so that it can be done with people at a lower skill level. In their current forms T5/titan EM can't be beat with more than one or two bad players and even then it depends on what their role is and everyone else in the group must be very good to pull it off. Taking 3+ people through those fights if they are average skill level is pretty much impossible.

I love FF and was having fun for a while here but there just isn't any reason to stick around. For the very casual and those into hardcore asshatery I think FFXIV ARR is great but for the rest of us I am not so sure.

Not trying to sound like a jerk, but if you're not having fun, you're probably better off taking a break from the game anyways. 2.1 was a backwards patch with CT so this was to be expected. I'd suggest waiting to check out 2.2 when they announce it to see if the direction of the game is going where you'd like it.

Also how is telling someone to take a break being a jerk?

Some people take it the wrong way and assume they're being told to stop complaining and quit. Can never be too careful with words.

T5 difficulty will go down when the next Turns are released. The Extreme Modes seems undoable to me right now...I don't know what I'm going to do. I still need to get the King down and Ultima down...still have not been able to do that yet.
I would not give up man....I think you will miss it.

There's no vile humans in my FC and I'm sure there's plenty of people that can claim the same. You just need to look for a good one.

I have to agree with you! There are actually some nice FC's out there, you just have to find a home for you! I was once in a asshatery Elite FC and left them to join a more friendly and laid back FC with people from different backgrounds!

Note I've been with my FC for a long time now I think 2 years..?

CT could have kept me busy for ages had they not decided to cap loot. Would have given me a chance to play lots of jobs and roles every week... Also how is telling someone to take a break being a jerk?

Small server.. there isn't any... I have looked. And how many people does your FC have that can clear t5/EM without wiping over and over? I have found very few FCs that have more than 8 people that can do this content with a low failure rate that also isn't full of terrible people.

eh? Ever since Party Finder was introduced in 2.1 I have been having the fortune of farming EM primals endlessly. My FC is very small as it is made of only two Coil groups, all highly skilled but you can't have them all online for the farming needed to get everything possible from the Primals. I have the ring, earring, bracelet and the flame pony. Guess how much farming that was? Easily over 200 kills, maybe 40 kills were with full group from my FC at best the rest was just PF.

Point is, skilled =/= vile nor is it necessary to do everything with your FC.

u might want to consider server transfers

It took me 3 weeks to find a group that could farm good king without failing. A group that can farm EM... HAHA

That would be even more money into this game and its not a 100% sure thing I will find people that are both cool and good at the game. I have actually been thinking about this or forming an FC and just booting anyone that doesn't fit. However spending that kind of time to try and form an FC that will almost certainly fail just doesn't seem like a good thing to do.

As of now I believe there is 32 people that have beat T5 on my server... and no I am not joking. Probably less than 100 that have cleared EMs... many that did that are not skilled enough to farm Titan... they beat it by spending endless hours fighting him until luck was on their side.

if you feel like you have something better to do then go ahead

the only reason i play is because i have an excessive amount of time to spend

...have you ever joined an fc? or tried to find a group of players that you like?

no one in my fc has ever given anyone a hard time about anything. well, maybe not no one, but i certainly haven't ever had a dispute with another member. nothing that would warrant describing one of our members as "vile".
