Population of Coeurl

[Aeromat]

The Coeurl Progression Thread is, naturally, not reporting the many statics I personally know of that are trying their best to clear this relatively cutting edge content while simultaneously giving tryouts to 1-2+ new members each raid night as they try to find a proper fit for their overall group's skill level. Once we all get our groups ironed out I foresee quite a few new groups adding their names to the list.

Those groups are responsible for reporting clears. It's no one's responsibility but their own. If they don't report it, that's their fault. The Progression Thread is meant for clears, not what phase people are on, I'm afraid. Ironic enough, I know. But that's just how it's been since the launch not only for our server but all others. :/

Of course, didn't mean to suggest otherwise. The progression thread is working perfectly. Just wanted to emphasize to the unaware that those who have cleared and officially reported are not the only endgame statics currently working towards progression. We've got a pretty decently sized endgame community on Coeurl even if they aren't world first status. Give it a little time and I believe we'll blossom.

The reason why no one's available to fill in rolls is because a lot of players already have statics. And I would also take into account actual player skill and the rate at which content is cleared on this server.

Also,

What I'm trying to say is that I've been looking for a static for 40 days and every one I have tried to join never has enough people always missing one or two, to me that doesn't represent Coeurl as a medium or large server. The PF does seem to be slow as well and filled with lots of...sub optimal DPS

Well, my suggestion to you is if Coeurl isn't up to your wants or needs, maybe transfer to a larger server. Or get in contact with Royal/anyone from <Crush> or any large raiding focused FC here.

[Edit]: Which you seemed to get in contact with people looking at posts below this one, good.

I know that a lot of people will put up a PF only as a last resort. They find parties through FC, linkshells, and friends. Our server is rather cliquey that way and that needs improvement. But there are a lot of raids going on under the covers.
If you find the DPS sub-optimal, then maybe try coaching some people? I know many would appreciate friendly tips, guidance, and rotation advice. And those of us on PS3/4 can't p-you-know, so need a little help there.
Coeurl ISN'T large. It's medium. And I love it.

Coeurl being medium sized is a joke. I mean, maybe right after new content drops, but lets be honest: with most of the endgame content being locked away in elitist FCs and snobby half-built statics, Coeurl feels like a low pop server.
And PF is a nasty place filled with idiots who either want an easy clear they can be carried through, or it's just another senseless group of noobs spamming fates for levels while learning nothing valuable about their "main"class.
So unless you've got a group of friends or an FC focused on progression, Coeurl is a cold place filled with elitist trolls and cliques.
You do find plenty of crafters though. So...there's that?

It's important to note, I think, that the forum population is not representative of the population as a whole. I know of at least 3 groups that have cleared through AS3 (I'm not in any of them). I've been on the server since about 2 weeks after launch, and have barely looked at the forums. So... there are plenty of us out there, we just don't necessarily actively use the same communication tools that might be more active on other servers. Party Finder is an excellent example... other servers make excellent use of Party Finder, while Coeurlians (sure, why not) tend to keep things in /shout or in statics or FC's. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot going on, it just means it's not quite as open as it is elsewhere.

As for elitist trolls vs. everyone else... the surest way to break through the troll blockade is to start your own teaching groups. Not everyone that hasn't cleared Alexander is a "senseless noob", and not everyone that has is an "elitist troll". If you take the time to teach other people, like I do, you'll find that people listen, more often than not, and learn from their mistakes. No one likes hurling themselves at a fight 30 times in a row... take the time to explain the fight (calmly and without snark) and you'll find that most people will listen and adapt. That's been my experience at least... yours may vary. I suspect being called a senseless noob or elitist troll right off the bat might put them off from being interested in listening though, so more tact might be in order.
