Rant about Shinryu Farm/Clear parties

[AngelCheese77]

It is ridiculous, period.

The only reason I don't make PF on my own is because the time it takes to fill up as a dps job (as a tank I don't mind). It has nothing to do with the ilv. From my point of view, people just want to be carried by high ilv on those farm parties nstead of skill. They want a run where tey can die 2~3 times and still get the kill. And you sound like one of those people, congratulation. Remember me to never join your trap party. (Oh, you are from gilgamesh, I'm safe)

Also, I have V1S~V4S on farm, like Ayer said, I'm talking about alts.

Hey guys lets farm for a 335 weapon, but you must be ilv 335 ok? Ok.

He says the ilvl requirement is ridiculous. .

to be fair for an alt job right when patch 4.1 dropped yea the 24 mans dont even count because they have been out one week, and outside of tomes they are the only things that drop 330 gear thats not omega. So if the op is puggin omega, then the chances of them gettin drops are a gamble , Ive gotten a few drops but its many weeks where I go empty handed because of rng. So you are totally wrong maybe at the end of the patch but not at the start, very few people would have second jobs at 330 right now

330/340 gear pretty much rains from the sky at this point. No lockouts on Omega, Creation gear has been available forever, Rabanastre drops 330 and has upgrade tokens, V1S/V2s are extremely puggable.

330 ilvl isn't some impossible requirement. If anything at this point I would consider it a bare minimum on any job you've put a little effort into.

Omega Normal drops 320 gear, not 330.

Apologies, for some reason I was thinking it was 330. It's been a little while since I've run it.

Because lowering the item level so people can come on alts lowers the chance of success and people don't want to take risks.

And please don't give me obvious answeers like "Do with your friends". This comunity is getting so toxic.

Players are allowed to set any requirements they like for their group. Even if it's as ridiculous as "catgirls only" it's still their right. If you don't like it make your own group with requirements you want. Nothing is stopping you but yourself.

I agree that a lot of the community is toxic but when you make a carbon copy of WoW, you kind of have to expect the same attitude from the players.

Toxic communities are not unique to mmorpgs at all. You just see what people are really like when they can hide behind an avatar. Play a lot of other multi-player genres and you'll see the same thing there. Some games and genres nurture it more than others but the fact remains that toxic people are impossible to avoid in online gaming.

By the way this game would have died if it was a copy of WoW. There is a reason why WoW-clone mmos died, because most people who want to play WoW will play WoW, not a poor copy masquerading as a new game.

Personally XIV was a large reason why I quit WoW. I fell in love with this game because it isn't WoW, it's just another great mmo that has a different take on the mmorpg genre. It just so happens SE's interpretation of what is a good mmorpg appeals to me more than Blizzard's.

You atleast play tank. Getting group is easy for you. I have bis geared summoner and getting group is insanely hard with caster especially after summoner changes. Most players greed weapons anyway because most have genji weapon on main class. I have managed get one scholar globe with greed roll during 15 runs. After 10 runs you can buy your melee weapons anyway.

330/340 gear pretty much rains from the sky at this point. No lockouts on Omega (correction, N Omega only drops 320. My apologies), Creation gear has been available forever, Rabanastre drops 330 and has upgrade tokens, V1S/V2s are extremely puggable.

Lol well subtracting like 2 of your reasons since they just became options this patch it is a bit much for players who don’t raid since creation gear is expensive....i see no reason to even have above 320 since you can absolutely destroy this fight in minimum ilvl...

@OP unfortunately because of how bad people are they require some absurd ilvl like they do in savage
