this is what my g/f was talking about.Anyone remember the Mr Happy Garuda EX strat everyone used in 2.1/2.2 that was so melee unfriendly parties would refuse to allow any in? There were other strats out there, but everyone in NA and EU used this one because Mr Happy showed it off.
And it made getting your weekly Primals done as a melee very hard, unless you had a ranged or healer geared enough for Garuda EX.
That's the kind of thing that would happen with more varied gear. And it happens in all MP games; a set is found that is superior in some way (even if its just because a popular streamer prefers it) and everyone needs to use it or get kicked. Same thing with skill trees and the like.
Not even hard to see it with the gear we have now either...
she was around in 1.0 with the blm group only, garuda fight as a group of blm would burn her down with a higher success rate due to an exploit.
the worst offender would be GW2
99% dungeon party require specific skill build and certain set of equipment
GW2 Supposedly to be very versatile offering different combination of skill sets, yet when the community found out the 1 way better than other, it become a disease spread across the whole universe and killing one of the most interesting game, and I hope it will never happen in FFXIV
I played GW2 & that never happened to me. Me and a friend both ran builds we came up with ourselves, never got any grief for it.the worst offender would be GW2
