While I'm not disagreeing with this..

Grabbing 7 other random people in the coil hangout spot with the same wants doesn't mean it'll work out. There's the schedule issue. You can find people who can coil on the same DAY but those very same people might have clashing hours. Recent example of mine: My group coils for 2 hours a day, 4 days a week and we've been dwelling on t12 for more than a month now. We lost two weeks because someone had something he needed to attend to. Then this week I had to miss 2 days. Naturally everyone is getting antsy (so was I). I tried to compromise and asked the group if we can go earlier than the scheduled time. Some was okay with that, some was not. Then I asked if we can move it forward by a day or two instead. This time the people who are okay/not okay with the first suggestion got reversed. So yeah, scheduling is a major hurdle.

Then there's the attitude factor. All 8 people need to get along with the group as a whole at least. Let me tell you, I've only had 2 statics since arr launch but I've had at least 6 versions of the 2nd static and went through so many players who came and go. Some of them are just down right whack. One of them got invited to start coiling with us and on the first day, in the middle of t6 re-training, went afk after a wipe without saying anything and after 15 mins of waiting, he finally responded and revealed that he's preparing dinner for family members and refused to stop and just made 7 other people stand in front of the boss while he continues preparing dinner (why didnt he even say anything before we start). Then there's someone who wasn't doing very well AND making racist remarks non stop. At first we just wrote it off just as vulgar jokes but it just kept intensifying and his performance got worse too. He left stomping off after we left him out of the group, thinking that everyone is out to get him and blaming their mistakes only on him, before wishing death on someone who isnt even in the fc's static (said person has a serious illness).

Then there's people who got helped through t5 because we wanted to bring them into our scob group (they resubbed after stopping 1 month before scob release). They were behind, soldiery wise and decided to change jobs for coil, which we accomodated to. After the original job spot owner moved to another job, we found out that they didnt want to spend soldiery on their new jobs because they think they'll be able to rely on the 'cool' scob gear despite being like 4 months late to scob and starting from scratch and would rather pour soldiery on to another class they were not going to take too coil. Like...what?! What's worse, these new to the group people told us that they needed a week or two to sort out irl issues but after said time was up, they just never logged back in..

That's not even everything for my scob season ordeal. At least the latest version of my static only has scheduling issues so far. 1st t12 win like 4 hours ago after 3-4 weeks of delays one way or another!
