Almost everyone wants to "skip" having to raid!

[Logistical]

Yeah, but if coil 1 is any indicator, they will ALSO nerf Coil 2 at this point....which while maybe some folk enjoy, kinda still ruins the fun for others.

Without this coming off elitist. This is nobodies fault. Make a static around times that work for you, or in the long run you have to deal. Coil 2 will end up being nerfed more than likely; and while I have plenty of friends that see it this was as well, none of them have honestly complained. They get up and try again, and push themselves to be better.


I work graveyard shift on a PST based server. I made a static that works around my times, with a group of 7 of my friends. 4 of which started out as total strangers to me.

Hell my original BC coil static fell apart because half of us wanted to beat T5 pre-nerf and the other half 'why waste our time now, we'll just beat at nerf, farm it and move on'

Tbh in a game, with logic like that. I would avoid them because that takes all the fun out of it. If you don't want a challenge raiding isn't for you.

For people who like including others, striving to be their best, but progressing at a steady pace with friends, this current system is poo.

My group strives to be their best. Progress at a steady pace only 2 nights a week. 2-3 Hours a night [Changes if IRL happens, and it does]. We cleared it out and now spend 2 hours a week clearing out coil. Getting faster with gear.

If they changed nothing else other than 'locking' you from being able to lot gear in the 2nd coil once you 'cleared' that turn for the week, they would ease up restrictions enough for most FC's to be able to help each other out more....instead of the 'too bad for you 5 who didn't make it in the static, guess you'll have to pug it/wait until you find people to run with'.

A real FC would take those 5 people and recruit to help them make a static, not tell them pug it or gl hope you find a group to run with.
The lock out thing won't happen. It will take away from the one aspect of raiding that a lot of people disregard and that's the competition. It seems petty to some, but it is a thing.


I understand some people don't want to be 'bound' by a time. I understand some people want to be spontaneous and do their own thing when they want, but I don't feel a change will be coming anytime soon.
