    I don't have the time or schedule for a static so PF will have to do. Also, just curious but what do you use PF for? Casual dungeon runs?

    How dare people have expectations of others and remove them from groups when they don't meet them. I think you're the toxic one if you're wandering into parties and only giving a mediocre performance instead of your best.

    if i do hard content, its raid finder for learning and clear if possible, pf for learning and clear otherwise. I can't stand farming, by the time i clear i'm sick of the fight so mounts don't matter to me. Raid finder is better for learning because its limited to one lockout and there's no pressure to turn it into a clear/farm party after, i feel.

    have you ever played any other MMO?

    Because if you can't get 8 people on at the same time, there is no "let's pug this" option for any content of any difficulty. You cancel the raid. If your schedules are so different you can't make a raid night, you find a guild or fc who schedules it when you can. This isn't a game where you need to spend 6 hours just to have a chance at a fight; if you all can't be bothered to schedule one night a week at minimum and stick to it, wtf will any of you do if SE decides to make endgame more involved than a boss in a box? There's only so much hard raids can compensate for limited time and reliance on randoms, if you can't use the social tools players used to counter this, there's no way SE will fix this just by adding a parser or gating out the bads. It will wind up being like them getting rid of Feast chat, a ham-handed solution that no one likes.

    Not who you're responding to with this, but difficult content in MMO's can't survive on statics alone these days. Blizzard was going to quit making raids in WoW entirely were it not for the introduction of the LFR system because not enough people were doing them. Statics aren't easy to create or hold together and if you make content that requires a static, you're going to find the amount of people doing the difficult content will be so low it's not worth making content like that anymore.
