Go build a cross server linkshell, or a server fc full of enough competent people that they can cover for the times when real life does intrude. If you try and force a fix through dev means, it's probably going to backfire; it may keep the bads out, but it may also end up keeping the people who would try and improve out too.



sheesh, this game has the least time-demanding endgame of any mmo out there. Schedule your farms for one night a week for two or three hours; if people can't make it to that, they probably should consider if raiding is what they want to do. Because in other games there would be none of this, you get kicked if you don't show up on time enough. And you make sure you schedule things so people can plan for it. If you consistently need to pug stuff, that's a people failure; you need to talk to the people who aren't showing up and see what's up.
Are you trolling? I know you sometimes have opinions that might be less-than-informed but this is a new low.

Between people having different school, work and irl schedules in general there are a lot of times that someone might be looking for a farm party but not have a full group available to them. The Discord that I'm in with Hyo, Cass, Sigma and others has at least 20 people in it who are all reasonably active but we don't all play together all the time because we all have different lives outside of the game. Also, while I can't speak for them, I don't want to entirely insulate myself in a bubble of my friends because it makes venturing outside of that bubble... disappointing. I have tried.

Between my FC and that discord and the one I spoke of I probably have upwards of 50 people who I enjoy playing with and can contact... and yet I work from 4~6am until 3~4pm EST. By your logic I should just give up on raiding because I have a job.

This is perhaps your weakest argument to date. Please cease.
