This is exactly why i left years ago... still a problem

If you want to do Extremes, use the Party Finder function. Just know that older EX primals will be easier to find players for if you're doing unsynced runs. Not a lot of people do them synced, especially due to job changes that leaves jobs at level 50 or level 60 feeling incomplete or barren.

NA and EU have done EX primals via Party Finder for years. They were doing them this way when I started over three years ago. Only JP has active Duty Finder/Raid Finder queues for current Extreme primals.


EDIT: It occurred to me that you’re probably trying to do the Warring Triad side quest chain, which requires players to complete Bismarck EX and Ravana EX in order to progress. Ask friends you may have, linkshells, and/or people in your Free Company to help you get past these. Or put up a Party Finder for a quick and easy unsynced clear—both Ravana and Bismarck can be mowed down really easily.

This was honestly a poor design choice on behalf of the developers, especially since NA/EU do not queue up for EX trials in the Duty Finder. That’s specifically a JP thing. However, this will not be a gate you will be met with in Stormblood or Shadowbringers. All EX content in those two expansions are separate and not required for side story progression (as is other EX content in HW).
