The issue is not that we don't have skilled players on the server, cause we do. There are still multiple things that prevent us from having more people doing FCoB.

First we have a large influx of new players coming on to our server. Which is cool i'm down to get new people who enjoy playing the game.
Second the endgame players that are still on the server are trying to progress with the new FCoB with there statics and I know several groups who run 4-6 days a week trying to down content.
Third school is still in session for a lot of people who play this game. IRL comes first!
Last people who are putting up these farm parties are wanting to farm to get there better gear. In the past few days while I was on I noticed several learning parties in PF. Its out there it just takes some looking.

But if we really want to try to fix our servers problems what we need to do is we need to have people who have cleared SCoB and other Endgame content to step up and do what my FC (Abel) and Fuse is doing and if you see a learning party and you are bored cause you aren't raiding just jump in and see what you can do to help. I understand trying to teach new people mechanics of fights we learned several months ago is tedious but if you want our server to grow and get better again we need more of the people who are endgame driven to step up and try to help out.

I know for my FC we try to at least once a week take our new people into content they haven't seen before and show them the ropes, and i do feel FCs come before pugs but we generally will ask other people to come help and do so threw PF when we do it. Hell, just last Friday we took two people from our FC who hadn't run T6 and though we didn't beat it or clear it for them they got to see the mechanics and in the 90 mins we were in the run learned how to dodge moves and how to effectively play there class in the turn. So if helping your FC over pugs is a priority then I don't blame you but you can not expect our server to just get better if you are only helping them. You have to branch out and help those who are not in your FC.

Now that being said the new people this goes out to you. I want to help you get geared and learn the endgame stuff but I can tell you from my stand point I is really aggravating to join a learning party and you don't know any of the mechanics. I want to help I really do but I do ask you to do the one thing and watch videos of the fights from youtube even if its just to see the mechanics you have to work with.

If I left out any other FCs who are doing the same thing Fusion Sword and Abels Vengeance is doing I am sorry.
