    Sophia Ex clear in Raid Finder Thread

    Hey there, so as you may noticed the new Ex primal is possible to do cross server in the Raid Finder starting this patch.

    There was a lot of gloom about extremes in DF/RF, that it would be even worse than doing it in PF and scare away players etc. But seeing it in the action, I spent whole weekend tanking it with our main healer (coz of some schedule problems with the static >_>), and I noticed that the players in the Raid Finder can probably read and Q up for the correct part of their training.

    All the runs, even if not successful, were much more smoother than the PF groups I tried during the previous patches and players showed up much better attitude.

    So after the whole weekend of training we finally managed to kill it. Cheer. ^.^

    As I mentioned the extremes should have been scary cross-server, yet that is not my experience, so I would like to ask you how were your attempts in RF going to create overall better picture about it's positive contribution to clear rates or negative contribution to your frustration.

    The main reason why the Party Finder is not working for the harder content and so many groups disband after few wipes is caused by the players who ignore the comments.

    Getting to the phase XYZ once does not mean you are ready to join parties to do XYZ.

    Parties should spend most of the time doing the phase that is written in the comment not trying to get there.

    I haven't cleared it yet, but I have been able to get in more groups via RF than I could on PF on my server. We wiped a lot, but people were generally understanding and trying to work out ways to improve so we could get further.

    I think for the newest ex primals, the Raid Finder move was a positive. I'm not sure people have figured out all the options though - like when to use "Duty Completion" vs "Practice: Final Phase." But I think the forced separation of the farmers from the learners removes a lot of tension.
