Discussion on clearing content without your raid group.

[Arlinne]

Aye, to answer a few questions:

I was called out by the off-tank of the group that "If you can clear O3S I would buy you a house". Obviously it was more of a joke bet and I expected nothing serious from actually achieving the victory but I thought it would be fun to try! We had only seen last phase a few times within about 8 weeks of practice, and it was the last raid of the week, and furthermore no one actively said no to it while the bet was being engaged, so I assumed I had the right to do so.

I will fully admit that I would not attempt to gain a win, nor participate in any group currently doing a fight if we still had at least one raid day left. Ruining chests is not fun, and so I would only do a pick-up shot at a fight if raid was finished for that week.

Finally, I get along with everyone within the raid outside of the raid times. We're basically two happy FCs connected, and so we have a laugh and general funsies outside of the time.

the reason I bring this up, by the way, is due to our raid stuck at Virus from O7S for about four weeks now, and I grew tired and even found myself a little angry at the lack of progress, so I was thinking of attempting it with PUGs for a clear and getting some gear to help out with the second half of the fight, to also keep myself tempered and not get more irritated at what is essentially wasted time. (Though it was fun time!)

You did everything right, once the raid week is over if you want to keep going with randoms is no problem at all. Looks like someone was salty about your clear and that's the real problem.

Also, after so many weeks without progress, I say that something is wrong there and need to be corrected. If can't be fixed and you are not happy perhaps it's time to find another static before you resent the game our your current group.

This is very very true, and should be heeded. Some groups just dont have the organization and/or leadership to stay cohesive and progress after a week or so of struggling on the same fight.
