Coeurl turning into a ghost town?

[ClaireAbigail]

Ok. We all know there's a problem in our server. The question is how are we gonna solve it? Bickering and trolling each other(in the forums and in mor Dhona) is not gonna help. I can count at least 16-20 end game raiders that left our server and that's a blow in our end game community. Personally, I can only count as few as 24-40 people actively doing final coil. We need to buff up our end game community and encourage people to start doing second coil more, get some t9 kills and stuff. Also no, I'm not asking for the end game people to carry the rest of the community. Just give some helpful tips and such. I know I'm behind I'm still working on t9 with 3 different statics but hey I'm working on it.


Tl;dr: instead of like trolling each other and such, damn let's work as a server and get some shit done. Do you guys really wanna let our server die down and end up as one of the servers with the worst end game community? And end game is just one of our many problems....

I get what you're saying and completely agree; however, with the turn of events and the slow dying out of Coeurl, I don't know what else can be done at this point. Kobato created an endgame LS for players who need help with endgame related areas of ARR. Maybe contact her in game, she usually has a PF up from time to time promoting it. I'm also in game if you want to do some scoby/primals/w.e.

Yea, I'm in that linkshell and it's pretty cool that she's doing that. We just need more people actively doing coils. I'm always down to farm second coil. So are a lot of people in our server, the main problem is that there's only a few people taking the initiative to start a farming party/learning party and when people do start it it's only within their small circle of people and honestly I can't blame them knowing how unforgiving some mechanics are and that some people don't have the patience to teach. It's like the server's desire to do end game content is deteriorating and people are settling with sold and gerolt equipments.

Your not far from the truth. Although I can say another truth of whats happening is overall Coeurl doesn't have a great band of skilled players on average. What's happening more then that are people don't want to go through the frustrations of training people, because it takes time for something you could just do with a static you know are capable of doing the content with. You have Kobato, getting people through some endgame which assists the climate of the server, but people don't have the drive to be good at their class, which FCOB forces people to be, both in Heals and DPS.

The problem is more that Coeurl doesn't really have players at multiple stages of the game in the same way populated servers do. If you're on a populated server that gets lots of new players, there will always be people at different points of progression because the player base renews itself over time. I'm fairly certain Coeurl doesn't really have much of an influx of new players.

If you PF particular content, I've noticed you'll often see the same couple people doing content. The same people making Shiva Farm PFs, or Ramuh clears, etc. Coeurl is lacking in fresh blood and ultimately that won't change unless people who are capable assist players progress through the game, tedious and boring as it may be. I'm sure there are talented players out there who just can't get T5 down or can't even find a party for Mog EX or something. That LS mentioned in this thread sounds like a start, at least. I realize it's not really fun to carry or teach someone content especially with instant wipe mechanics and so on but the server climate isn't going to get better because our population and player base is so stagnant.

People not being good at their class is something in every MMO ever on any server ever. The problem on Coeurl is that the resources don't even really exist for people to become better because our PF is like, the same three guys making shiva farms, fate grinding for NIN parties, and like very occasional clear parties for outdated content that either never fill and are of dubious quality if they do. It's hard to blame people for not getting past T5 when you could sit an entire night and not get a party, then still not win or even get anywhere if you do.

In regards to the lack of second coil farm parties, i think it's just because very few people are even that far. T6 is the only one that ever really shows up in PF and it's success rate is questionable at best. The few T7 and 8 ones I've heard of, by most reports, end up not going very well.

alllsooooo I think another factor is that people kind of caught onto how gear progression works in this game (as in 2.5 will probably make getting i130 pretty ez), and we're on the brink of an expansion that will surely blow up the ilevel to new heights, so it's a bit harder to get the general population motivated to run really difficult, stressful content for rewards that will probably become outdated in the expansion very early on.

Here's my thoughts:
There are plenty of people who have yet to clear SCoB and most primals. The problem isnt not having players like Kobato helping (that ls is really only active when she's on anyways), its having elitist snotbags that won't help form new statics because they're too busy jerking each other.
And then there's the FC issue: All of them pretty much just gossip, craft, and play favorites (helping certain popular players over helping anyone else). God forbid you tell them this cause you'll get kicked out real fast.
The problem is (tl;dr) People need to stop being elitist pricks and actually help.

Come to Exodus, plenty of new and legacy players, all at different levels of play. Usually at anytime, at least 15-20 PF going at a time.

Just don't level NIN, they are like 1/3 of all players right now, lol. But even as DPS, DF waits are under 30 minutes.
