Please Add no bonus option for PF

[Odett]

I've cleared every single EX primal dating back to Garuda EX all the way to Sephirot EX within its released patch window without a static, so no, I'm not wrong about that point, and I know many who have.

Yes, not all players who cleared content are good in said content, we've been talking about that for the past 5 pages or so, but someone who has cleared simply has higher odds of knowing the fight than someone who has not; that's not a hard concept to grasp. Furthermore, having a "no bonus" farm group in PF and seeing a bonus when you enter is just downright annoying and will cause friction within the group because someone is being dishonest. Many people know a fight and have reached enrage and are capable of clearing, but that's where talking to the PF leader comes in. Of course I'm going to be suspicious if you join a farm party with a bonus and fail to communicate anything, because more than likely, there is a very good reason for that, and it's often negative.

I'm a static leader, FYI, so forming a static isn't "too hard" for me. I've been in statics from BCoB in 2.0 to Midas Savage, but I'm not going to make my group run Sephirot EX countless times because I like to play all the jobs and want all the weapons.I see that as something I can do in my own time, and focus static nights around progression because we have limited play-window. On top of that, many people can't form or join statics due to their work schedule and RL situation, so yes, the notion that you need to form a static for something that doesn't require one (and the proof is there because you CAN clear EX primals in PF as well as farm when people aren't being dishonest) IS silly.

It's a waste of time because the offered solution just doesn't make any significant impact to the problem.

You have absolutely no way of knowing this because it's never been implemented. We don't know how it's going to affect things until we try it.
