When is it OK to say, "It's Not OK"

[HakuroDK]

If you join a group thats progressing in coil and tell them "I only want to clear once for the cutscenes, then leave", guess how many will let you in anyways...

Zero. Which is why, when I do run coil, I run it seriously. I usually play Main Tank and in my best party, we've gotten all the way to the Twisters before wiping, so I'm definitely not a bad player. But something always keeps happening constantly and consistently where the party just collapses. I don't even know what the hell happens. But every single time I run T5 or any of the EX Primals, we wipe for some inexplicable reason and it's never my fault because I ask my party if it is my fault and they say it isn't.

I'm just frustrated that everyone who has run stuff with me has said I am a good (or at least competent) tank, and yet I can't even clear T5 or Moogle Mog EX because something always goes wrong.

No, you are making assumptions. Did I say join a hardcore raiding fc?

My FC is fairly casual, but we still do stuff together and help each other through content because that's what friends and good FCs do. Your RP FC doesn't have a few people who would be willing to practice t5 with you for your sake? I'm sure you must have enough people at level 50, and it's not like the ilvl requirements are high. So why won't your friends help you?

Because that's a good FC, with members who don't only think about themselves.

When someone says to join another FC as it pertains to a thread about raiding, usually that means join a raiding FC unless otherwise specified.

You are actually incorrect about the members in my FC. Most of my FC members are not anywhere near high enough ilvl to clear T5 and have zero interest in that kind of progression. There are two, MAYBE three members who are geared enough to run T5 and some don't even have it unlocked. It is not on their list of priorities to achieve a high ilvl at the moment. They RP. That's what they do. And I would not push them to getting geared so they can help me because that would be me imposing myself unto them which is very unfriendly.

...and I resent the insinuation that my FC members only think about themselves. We all care for each other a hell of a lot more than you might think.
