Coil 5 changes needed

[Snugglebutt]

The one thing that annoys me more than anything else is people assuming the soldiery bonus popping up in raid or new player present equals people incompetent or unable to do it when fact is that is not always the case at all as a lot of new players and those who have not done it before actually research the fight many times through videos and guides before joining a party for it.

Those who ask for linking achievement or item etc to prove done it does not mean those people who link such can do it. They could quite easily have bought a clear or been carried through it by others and is in no way proof that they can do it themselves. While it is true some new players to that place don't bother reading up on it beforehand and gives those that do a bad name being lumped in with them...people these days have just become dumb about it assuming everyone is bad if they haven't got that achievement or item when nothing could be further from the truth in many cases. I have had to carry and cover for people who have had clears to their names just like I have had to teach others who did not read the guides or watch tutorials and carried some who were new.

On the other hand something else annoys me is people assuming everyone who bought a clear via gil is a bad player etc, the hypocrisy of that stance is evident since at some stage everyone has bought with gil either materials for their crafting or bought gear from NPC's or marketplace to upgrade current items which is exactly the same thing. Paying in game gil to save time and effort which does not in fact indicate they wouldn't now or in future be able to do it themselves.

In fact I have done PF's and DF quite few times where people who claim to have completed raids and EX trials, claim to be 100% experienced and have the achievements and item to link are the ones causing wipes very often in their over confidence and arrogance while the new players who done the research wipe less than them, of course will get new players who never bothered to research fight causing a lot of wipes too but in terms of new players who read guides and watched videos vs experienced players...they wipe around same amount of times or sometimes even less than these elitist players who think they are better than new players just because they have done it before.

For example I mentioned in my FC that the thought had crossed my mind to pay for a quick and easy run of coil so could get an encrypted tomestone and some people said such ignorant things like they would lose respect for me, said things like if did so once it means I would abuse it in future and do it constantly in future (clearly they don't know me if they think that and it's not true a person would always do such in future anymore so than them never gathering materials instead of buying it just because they bought some from marketplace once in the past). Or they said it's P2W and that I would be hated by everyone for doing so...if that's the case maybe I should hate them for ever using the marketplace to buy materials to speed up crafting and save time having to level a gatherer or go out and get the materials themselves? They are hypocrites plain and simple.

Firstly if doing so once would equal losing respect from someone then they are the kind of person that I would not care for their respect given what I said above about how at some stage they have paid gil in game to get something whether to save time or effort and they are being hypocrites in terms of P2W given they have paid gil to 'win' something in terms of upgrading their gear form NPC or market or crafting materials already themselves.

Secondly just because you pay for a quick and easy run in order to save that time and effort one time does not indicate they cannot or will not do it properly in future, as for myself if I did decide in future to buy a single run then I would still want to practice and do the place properly and would not stop attempts to progress though it normally at a later stage.
