Behemoth, Balmung and Gilgamesh are Zalera's feeder-worlds.

People join them wanting to learn the big raids. So they try an existing "high population" server to fit in with a group somewhere.

Then they find out what they're populated with.
Turns out they can't learn to raid there.
Just spend your time learning how to manage twenty-and-thirty-something year old babies. "I pay mah sub, I plah how I want!"

Then they finally get called up to Zalera!
Mid-sized population, mature enough to respect other's playtime, immature enough to have fun.

Fact is, there is no "easy to find good static." If there was, it wouldn't be the same 1-2 teams getting world firsts every time new content is out.

It's hard to find good people.
This is true on large servers, and it's true on small servers.
But every server has at least thousands of people on it. With that many folks you're going to have derpers as well as normals.

Just have to take your chances and follow the 3-step program that I didn't just totally make up:

1. Choose a place and stick with it. If you bounce around too much you'll spend all your time "sifting through the crap" without ever leaving yourself enough time to "wait 'till the cream rises to the top." Finding good people takes time. So take your time and keep going. They're there, I promise, on every server. Especially Zalera, but *every* server.

2. Do your part. Be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem. You want your time respected? Only going to happen if you respect the time of others. Find some people not doing what you want? Great! More people you know that aren't doing what you're looking for. Say "thanks for the chance, but I'm looking for something else" and leave. This works for dungeons, instances, PFs, FCs and, yes, for finding statics too. No mess, no fuss, and move onto your next search (now a narrower field = good for you). You're that much closer to finding the group doing what you want, all the time!

3. There's not even another step! That's it! Just keep doing #1 and #2 and you're good to go! It's the best 3-step program evah!! Only 2 steps to remember!

TL/DR: Join Zalera and all your problems will melt away. Then step out of the puddle-of-problems and start having fun!
