im the only one hate people get first kill with unsync?

[KaivaC]

Alright, lemme throw my experience with this here. When I first started in FFXIV, the group I went in with could not beat Garuda Normal. This was my first MMO ever, so I didn’t understand that I need both left and right side gear pieces…the only thing I really upgraded was my weapon and chest piece. I was a Monk.

This was March 2017, on Famfrit. Go figure…I’m the only sprout and we couldn’t beat Garuda. That group ended up abandoning after 5 or 6 tries. I don’t even know why because it’s a complete faceroll.

Somebody friendly took me in unsynced and taught me something – mechanics. In five minutes, I learned the whole fight, the importance of keeping my gear up to date, and most especially, how to fight trials. The point is, unsynced has good and bad. Yeah…I do feel like with 8-mans, players should clear it synced before they go after it unsynced, but for players like me, especially DPS who are gated by Titan and Garuda…unsynced can be a good thing if you’re willing to explain how FFXIV trials change after that point.

Regardless…I don’t exactly understand why OP has such a huge issue with it. Players are gonna do whatever they want to do.

Side note: the only other trial that I got the first kill on unsynced with was Mistrel's Ballad: Nidhogg's Rage a few months back...because nobody is doing this fight synced. Doesn't mean we didn't have mechanics - we still wiped once, and most of us were level 70.
