Why are Statics so difficult sometimes?

[Alaray]

Savage isn't fun for most people, and rather than tell you straight out it isn't fun and leave, they make excuses until it blows up.

I mena, ffs look at these answers. What kind of videogame or endgame is it where the best advice is NOT to do it with friends or guildmates?

Consequently, I do the content with close friends and fc members.

The only revolving door issue and clashes have come from recruited people who didn't mesh with us, or expected one of us to quit so they could fill that role instead of the role they signed up to be.

It's a more casual environment, the vast majority of us were brand new to raiding/raiding in FFXIV (this was my first tier, just in general, never raided before and never tanked before but I took the chance when it came up from a friend). Going into it, I did highlight to them that if I underperformed or didn't fit well, that they should feel free to remove me/ask me to leave the group. That never occurred, luckily, and we all ended up meshing quite well together with our goal more surrounding improvement and becoming better players than extremely fast progression.

(Granted, a lot of people miss days/can't make it and it's been a struggle to get the entire group into God Kefka, but it's a hectic time for a lot of schedules and we're pretty much of the mind "Life > Video Game" provided there's some heads up if it'll be a conflict so we can contact reps and so on).


Have we progressed slower than most? Yes.
Have we missed raid nights/had to call many early? Yes.
Did we start a bit later into the tier than most? Yes.
Are we having fun and still working towards our goal? Yes. And this is the important point.
