What incentive do you need to stay?

It is all about having fun in the end as long as everyone knows what they're doing, instanced (challenging) battles are a lot fun when eventually downed!
You have the profile of what we need! Good to know there are people out there that could fit this role. Thanks for this!

Not a problem, happy to put my thoughts forward on it and hope more people come around to thinking this way. Sadly I'm on Lamia, so I'm not going to be able to be a part of this LS, but good luck with the effort!

Usually whether its a friend or someone that I don't know all that well, I try and give them the help they need, although I do hate when someone does not come up front and say they don't know, nothing wrong with that, its just you can't help someone who doesn't atleast speak up.

I'll always suck it up if its with a friend, even if I have to waste a ton of time to finish or even if it doesn't get finished, i'll usually put up with a lot on random's, they really have to be giving no effort, or if they start bad mouthing, then I have no problem leaving them.

I like anyone else will lash out and call someone on how they play, not so much about skill, but things like, watching a BLM use nothing but blizzard and thunder, and obviously can tell that its A. A bot, or B. They want to be carried/Lazy/Multi tasking to many things. FYI: In a lvl 60 dungeon. This is a rare occasion, otherwise I just complain about it later on to vent.

When I join a pf group for anything, I'm prepared to stay for the maximum duration of the instance no matter how badly it goes (I can spend the whole 90 minutes wiping in phase 1 if that happens). It helps that I never join party finder groups for any content I actually need but instead only to help. I consider joining the party finder as offering my help for the group to progress as much as they can during the time while I'll do my best to help them. I do this because I love helping people who are doing their best to clear content and progress in their goals.

A while ago I joined a great A1S group with no previous experience required, we had a good time, everyone had a good attitude, we got to enrage with both Opressors above 20% on first pull, made constant progress and then cleared the fight with only a couple of minutes left, me being the only person having cleared the fight before. I've also had nice Thordan ex groups that have been happy to see the mechanics and try the fight and that have been lucky to get to the meteor phase.

The worst thing in these groups is when there's no previous experience required, and then someone joins and quits after two wipes in the first phase, or starts complaining about low DPS in a group that's not really even trying to actually clear the fight but only practice the first couple of phases. Sometimes people even leave groups that have a good chance of beating the fight just because things aren't going perfectly right from the start, even though the group is making steady progress.

The only thing that makes me leave a group before the timer ends is people in the group being extremely rude or offensive and the group leader and other members allowing that to happen. I don't think I've ever done that though.

[lolirocco]

Wow I feel like with the right people, just a balanced and prepared group of individuals interested of progressing could be enough to make this work!
Now to find more people like you guys......
Do you think people would server transfer for a thing like this? I could post in all the EU datacenter worlds... :-)

[Rena_Dyne]

I'd love to be able to roll up a toon on the server my friends play on {Balmung} but since the server is so infested with bots and autologgers that its literally closed seconds after ALL Servers were down at 2 AM pacific time, maybe Square should actually do something about that huh?

[Vidrian]

Everyone should make a character on Cerberus! I'm more than willing to boost people through low Lvl fates on my 38 lancer
Everyone sounds really nice

Now imagine you are not even joining that PF for yourself but for a friend.

If things go wrong and they will... Do you suck it up? No, I am vocal about what needs to be done.
Do you speak up when someone is "doing it wrong"? If so, when and how do you approach them? Refer to the answer above; I will try to explain nicely and in detail in order to help out the entire group.
Maybe you have a mental illness and just want to finish what you started? It's a game, not getting a perfect group is part of any game, and you can only make the best out of it.

Do you help new players progress through coil/EX/Gordias and if yes why? I play because it is a game and it is meant to be played. If I feel like doing something, I will do it. There is always some sort of a reward included, so it can't be that bad.

On the other hand, what really grinds my gears is when people are being bad ON PURPOSE. Fuck them.
EDIT Then I am even ready to leave. Sometimes it just won't work out and turns into a waste of time. What is waste of time? Playing a game and not enjoying it.
Although 'waste of time' is subjective.

[Urthdigger]

Not gonna swap servers for a linkshell, but primarily I'll stick around if people have SOME plan of what to change, or if there's notable improvement each wipe. The only times I get fed up are if, say, folks keep wiping to DPS check mechanics and nobody's stepping up with any way we can push past it, or a given attack is wiping half the raid and nobody knows what to do.

I usually only join a PF group when someone asks me to. I don't really open the PF and go looking for groups really. Mostly it's because we do the more challenging stuff with the FC on set days.

However, when I do join a PF group, I usually stick around even after wipe after wipe, and even if I already cleared it myself.

I have noticed I don't get asked that often these days though, I guess people prefer to put up a learning/clear party on PF, and then just wait for it to fill up, rather than actively find people.
