Disable all cs in pf unsynched groups

You're better off doing anything but poetics for desynth. It's a lot faster to earn the 30k in gil per piece of a vended equipment than the 250 or more poetics for a similar piece. I don't know about the cap; keep in mind this assumes that the items will resolve into worthwhile things. A lot of old gear at 60s gave you ampithetre leather.

There comes a point where you have to use poetics to purchase gear for desynth. Because eventually vendor or dungeon gear won’t give you as much of an increase anymore as tomestone gear. It’s not like poetics are used much for jobs unless you are leveling them. If you aren’t leveling them, then they have no use. Plus, like I said before, poetics are not that hard to come by.

For relic...most people will quit at trying to get into snowcloak. If they persist, the light step will kill them; many of the best ways to get it no longer pop frequently if at all. I don't think it will be a draw for many people. SE will have to start to do something about teh lack of incentives for old content; I spend 16 min some days just trying to get intro trials as a rdm.

If the person is a level 70 doing a Zodiac weapon or Anima weapon, they can unsync all the dungeons; waiting in queues isn’t necessary. This also works for the light steps as well. May be a bit more time consuming to unsync the level 60 dungeons for Anima relics as opposed to doing A1S or A9S light farming groups, but still doable solo or with a friend/couple of people. No queues necessary.

Not if you're trying to cap it (the current cap is ilvl 330 ) for a craft that doesn't have weapons and you don't want to spend yo' gils. Capping weaver took a lot of poe, centurio seals, crafter scrips, 24-man drops, and dungeon gear and you get more poe for doing the last 2. It's a grind but I still prefer it as a way to get glass fibers and some other random mats.

Most people I know that started finished, new players still do the anima for the minion. It's not nearly as much of a grind as it used to be. Most of the 50 dungeons can be solo'd. You can't do Wanderer's Palace hard solo if you're playing as a job that can't use any healing spells, but the rest are fine. Light farming went twice as fast for my AST weapon than it did for my SMN weapon back when that was current and my parties never hit the sturdy window. I think I started and completed a weapon in a week playing pretty casually by doing roulettes every day, finishing WT, and checking the pf for bonus parties.

If the game isn't fun for you it's probably time to take a break.

Well I learned most of you don't read. No mention of don't watch dung cs or Shiva type cs as they are 1min. Just pf of which I join 50-60 a week, mostly as a bonus whore but lots of time if they easy quick i'll hop in to get that person a complete. Go do alex 1-12. Go see the difference in time w/ w/o cs. But you don't join and help i bet. You say tomes are for my time. I have enough crap to do 3 more relic weapons yet I keep joining. I say I am getting you past content so don't screw me over. You say I should know they are going to watch cs like every1 watches them. I didn't and a lot don't. This is old content that we would struggle to beat most likely synched. i bet it was great. I started in SB so idk. The cs were designed to build drama to a difficult fight where you feel proud after victory. So proud of that 2min fight. Watch your cs. Cry about guys like me who may offend you for wasting my time. You skip im there 1-12. Watch you will be in and out of pf replacing ppl 7 times.

Don't read you say?

Seems you don't read...don't think....don't pay attention to what your doing.
You have no business being in this game at that point.

It's almost as if what you're complaining about in entirely avoidable.

Unlike with DF runs, you have the option to ask your PF members if they are planning to watch CSs prior to entering the instance. If so, simply don't join. Why spend effort implementing something that is easily solved with basic communication?

Basic Communication requires common sense and intelligence to read before you click..let alone think before you leap....not that i'm disagreeing with you of course.

Communication, or a basic understanding and acceptance of ones needs outside the game or what they're feeling like at the time. It's always pretty safe to assume in any party with randoms, at least one person is going to want to watch cut scenes. That's fine, that's okay. It's there time too after all. I just can't fathom why someone will join something and complain they don't have the time or don't feel like waiting. The choice was their's to join in the first place. Why not just simply join content when the time is there or when the time waiting isn't a bother. It's not like tomes and content are just going to vanish over night.

well there are some MMO companies that feel the need for content to vanish over night, in order for it to feel "special".

Oh, no, I read what you wrote. And I find your arrogance absolutely baffling. I don't think you read what YOU wrote.

Considering you can do all of Coil (except T9) with only one other person, and Alexander with maybe 2-3 other people (may need more for A12N, but that's the only one), you definitely aren't needed to "help people get past content."

You truly are something else. Please take a bunch of seats. Thank you.

[Sakuraluna]

You don't deserve any cs if you doing content unsynched.

But yet they're not allowed to watch cutscenes in DF...

I'm sorry, but I can't count the number of times over the years that I've seen new players post here complaining about Praetorium etc. because they want the full experience and randoms in DF rather rush through it and even kick them, and everyone around here has told them they need to make a PF instead so that players who are willing to let them experience the run can join. This guy politely made the decision to stay out of your DF roulette and make that PF, and what do you do? Hop right into that party. And not 'out of the kindness of your heart' either. You, sir, have no room to complain.
