    Why is CT so dead?

    For the last 4 days I've been trying to find a CT party via PF. I saw 2 parties in the last 4 days (they already had 4 dps). I tried queing and was waiting for 90 minutes! I even had "join in progress" checked. Tried making my own party on PF and only 1 person usually joins.

    Why is it so dead? Anyone know? :0

    If whatever you're shooting doesn't die after you pump 8, 32 caliber, slugs into it, it's probably a dragon.

    Some people only care about 1 class. CT has been out long enough for them to have every piece they could want from there.

    CT is not a good way to cap myth, so people interested in only that are going to avoid it.

    That's only 2 things that have a major impact on the CT running population.

    Level a tank if you want to get in easily.

    Generally people seem to spam it like crazy early in the week. On monday and tuesday I was getting into Duty Finder CTs in around 10 mins apiece, as a DPS

    Yh thats what i do on Mondays after reset until tuesday. I run CT over and over til the next morning if its necessary, until i eventually get my drop.
    Then... Completely avoid it for the rest of the week.

    Also, the amount of Tomes earned / time spent ratio is pretty bad especially when it involves dealing with retarded people. CT isnt a viable option for a quick Myth capping.

    In a single CT run time ( if nothing goes wrong ), you would have done 4 or 5 WP speedruns which would give you 500 ToP / 150 ToM vs 200 ToP / 50 ToM from CT.

    Monday and Tuesday, on Ultros even, I had average wait times of 8-11 minutes, and I capped my myth just on CT runs. However, there was usually only 1 or 2 PF parties every couple of hours. There might be a problem with too many DPS trying to do CT at one time, which would account for your delays. The PF parties that I joined usually were already full up on DPS, and we usually ended up waiting longer on tanks than I would have taken queuing on my own.

    Idk but every time I join a PF or create one, it takes a hour or two to get going. Because people constantly, "need to go help FC". It seems like PF is almost useless for this, because like 90% of the time the pt always DF anyway. I'm just confused why people even use PF for it anymore. If everyone just wants to DF, just go do that. I know most people try to do a PF so they can funnel the right kind of players in so they have a good shot at their gear and everything..
