It hasn't even been a full day

And I've already seen parties asking for people who have done atleast 8 full clears and have EX Steps of Faith on farm.

That's....pushing it by a lot.

[Yasuhiro]

Probably joke PF's or people have cleared it and just want to farm it.

Yeah there is already à clear video on YouTube.

I'm doing it with 7 people already ø.

[Ebonwings]

Yup a clear within 3 hrs while I was busy myself with Unlocking my Expert roullete and Hildibrand quest...

I know, but you still can't expect enough players to have cleared said content right away and have it down on farm.

You see, I at firs thought it was a joke until I asked the person(who told me has has been waiting alone in the Party Finder for hours) that he was dead serious.

I think it's perfectly fine for them to set up party finders asking for people with so many clears and the ability to farm. What's not fine is if you're queueing in the duty finder or something and they automatically expect you to have it down.

Truthfully, you're looking at the midcore content that is added in the game. The good players will have that down within 24 hours. It's not too surprising, although the whole 8 times clear I believe is just a joke like some people suggested...

...however, I wouldn't put it past some hardcore folk to even ask that. It's been 8 hours the patch has been up. As soon as you can throw yourself against the EX, they do it. It also will help them if they're in the process of clearing Savage as the weapons are better than the 230s currently being the meta (Bar having killed A8S.)

So not too surprisingly, unfortunately. This was never meant to be something to last more than a few weeks.

You're right, it just pains me to see players expect the mass of the community to have everything down pat immediately,not everyone can be fast learners like most, took me a few tries until my friends and I completed ourselves, ran with a different party for a weapon and I saw a tank attack a SMN and SCH duo who where in for their first run, he didn't even specify in the PF that he didn't want first time players, just attacked them immediately.

Was he asking because he's actually done it or asking to be carried, lol.
