Rant about Shinryu Farm/Clear parties

[nty]

After reading the title and opening this post I am truly surprised this post complains about the minimum ilevel requirements for Shinryu parties rather than the lack of player competence. I killed Shinryu a few days ago and I am yet to join a [Duty Complete] farm party that can actually reliably complete the fight. It seems very apparent that majority of the players either got lucky and/or got carried through the fight with most of the party consisting of a static.

As for your concerns regarding the ilevel requirements, most of the farm parties out there are ones for the mount. It's absolutely understandable that players will be looking for other well geared players to skip as many parts of the fight as possible and reduce the time it takes to complete the fight. You should open your own PF for weapon farming, considering that the weapon isn't relevant to a lot of players with the 340/345 weapons available.

oh, this song and dance again.

OP, Make your own parties and do your own rotations, then, when you are done flailing about and cursing your incompetence, watch youtube and conform to the masses.

This BS is why I've lost interest in endgame raids altogether. I have no interest in even dealing with cliques (let's just do away with the "make friends" trope straightaway) who are little more than blind FFlogs slaves looking for easy clears.

Yeah, its bad enough meeting Toxic Cliques in roulettes or in the game world.

People complaining about party leaders who set up rules for their own parties... Is this for real?

This is a recurrent complaint, actually. And it's quite silly, to be honest. There are many players that think they have the right to whine about pf requirements and still they can't be bothered to start their own.

i still havent cleared myself , but Im on final phase and this is true people will join the groups pretty quickly so I kinda dont get the issue the op is having. Each time Ive made a group its filled in less than 5 mins but they could just really be frustrated so I guess I get that to.

Whats funny to me is all these phase3/final phase groups that want to practice it but don't even bother using the final phase practice option from the duty options list. Lots of em don't even get to it but maybe 2-3 times out of all their tries to even practice it.

The problem isn't oh well make your own party. It is the fact when you try to clear content or learn people are putting ridiculous ilvls requirements. I don't care what ilvl you want for farming that is your preference but for clearing or learning you have to be 10-15 ilvls higher and excluding certain jobs for faster lb when you don't even understand how icicles work is just sad. But hey this has been an issue since primal extremes. My favorite was when everybody thought you had to calculate the meteor math for sophia's tilt for the first few weeks, and convincing people to just count tethers to see if they were even or odd was such a struggle.

You know the usual XPF rules. When someone says final phase party, you are going to get people who definitely seen it, dead. But never alive to even play that phase.
