"unforgiving mechanics"

This is what makes this game good tho I do agree with OP but the unforgiving mechanics make u really strive for perfection in the current job ur playing, it is great, if u down all 3 ex primals well that's great u have MADD skills. Ifi can't beat them don't get down n out just keep ya head up yo will get it one day.

Only if you play with no weak links. Which means you have to play within a circle of players you trust in order to get things done. Even then it's just learning rotations and phases. Of course beating any "hard" is fun even if it's cheap hard.

Excellent points OP. I prefer to scout fights in advance but it doesn't mean I expect all players to do so. Play however makes you happy.

Do remember however this is a community game and that other players are relying on you, so in general it is at least common courtesy to let other players that you ate new and to give you a basic rundown of fight mechanics.

I always warn people when I am doing a dungeon or something for the first time that this is my first time.

As for when new players join something I have already done, I am never going to judge or criticize them for being new. I'm patient. I'm happy to help. I think it's people who are not willing to help new people should see the game as a community and be willing to help.

People expect too much out of other people. I always go into an instance expecting everyone to be idiots.

Sounds like you're picking the wrong types of people to play with.


Everyone has different goals in the game. What you need to do is figure out what you want from the game and then join a group of people that wants the same thing you do.

It sounds like you ran with a group that really didn't feel like spending all day wiping on a boss. It also sounds like you are perfectly fine with going through countless unneeded wipes just for the sake of figuring things out. What you need to do is find a group of people who also feel the same way you do which means you have 2 options:

1. You join a cutting edge top of the charts guild who goes in to attempt bosses the day they are released or as soon as they can get to them. This way you fight bosses without guides even existing which means you will get to wipe for hours while figuring stuff out.

2. Join a super casual social guild of people who just want to hang out and don't really care if they accomplish much in the game as long as they're having fun together. This way you will be wiping for hours but you will be doing it with people who don't care if they wipe a lot because you're doing it together so you're having a good time.


I really hope that after reading this post you will stop getting mad at other people for not playing the game the way you want them to play. And realize that everyone is enjoying the game their own way and there is nothing wrong with other people enjoying the game in different ways from you.

I agree with you OP but on a sidenote the first video guides i seen ironically was Super Mario Bros 3 in 1991-2 on the TV show Video Power lol

I totally agree with the point if someone is looking in party finder for people who are experienced that you should be courteous and be experienced before joining because it was laid out before hand what is to be expected. The first time runs though with no quota is what I mean in which what I mention still happens, which is a shame. As much as I agree this is an mmo and is definitely a team sport we should be considerate of first timers, and if you are looking for experienced and know every nook and cranny of the dungeon kind of player, make it known when you recruit for it etc, it's very easy to do so.

And to the post above me... ah man that game was epic <3

I get told all the time to "watch a video first." before I go into major fights. But two things: One, I can beat a fight without a video. And two, videos aren't the best way of learning for me. I'm totally a muscle memory person first, and possibly an aural learner second. But videos do ABSOLUTELY nothing for me. That's great if they work for you, but I will pick up quick by doing. I hate when I try to go into a fight and the first thing I'm asked is "Did you watch a video? No. *booted*"
