    As someone who has run, in total, 12 floors of Alexander...

    ...and gotten not a SINGLE loot token...

    All Random loot, where everyone's lotting on the items, and with only 2 items per run to go around, freaking sucks.

    Join a farming party. They usually wait till everybody gets loot before disbanding. Unless you're after specific items.

    Guess the grass really is greener on Balmung. Most farms I've ever been in on Gilgamesh clear once and disband because you scrubs aren't good enough. The others were one-shot groups where people almost always bail after getting loot and then we cant one-shot anymore.

    Most of the time on Balmung, people make a disclaimer that if you bail after getting your loot, you will be blacklisted. Not sure if people really care about that sort of thing anymore, but it does hurt your ability to join further groups for any other content.

    Yes if people are leaving you should say that you will BL the leavers, it usually prevents people from joining and after being BL from all party makers those guys will have learned their lessons.

    I just did a gilgamesh farming party with 4 clears this morning.

    If people join a farm party that says multiple runs for the loot and leave when they get their piece blacklist them.

    That wasn't a "gilgamesh farming party," then. It was an actually decent farming PF that miraculously happened to be on Gilgamesh. They can happen, but it really shouldn't feel like finding the Holy MF-ing Grail when you do.

    I've only been playing since like the end of may of this year. It can be a pain to find a good group, but it is possible. PF generally works pretty well, sometimes you have to make your own. I've found farm groups for Bisex, Ravex, A3, and A4 where we did at least 4 clears each time.

    I make sure to friend these players afterwards - make connections, and it gets easier, you can ask people on your list if they're free.

    This. Last night I was in a farm party for A4 and I wanted the chest token. Well, of course, I was the last person who hadn't gotten loot and it was almost 3am. I thought for sure that I would get shafted, but people proved me wrong and happily stayed the few extra runs it took to ensure I got my item as well.
