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

Waiting times are not acceptable.



I paid for the 3 expansions might as well at least the the MSQ done, although the one dimensional characters and bad story telling is giving me PTSD too.

I'm almost certain you don't want me to reply with anything except, 'yeah, you're right, this game is dreadful'.

However, on the offchance that I'm wrong, Thok AST Thok Extreme hasn't been current content for a number of years and isn't part of a roulette so your wait times will be high. No extremes are part of roulettes and neither are savage raids. If you want to do that content, I would suggest trying party finder or asking folks in your FC if they are interested. Maybe join a Discord for your data centre. Queues for current content and/or roulette content are fine.

It's also fine that you don't care for the story. A lot of people think differently, and the story in Shadowbringers has been particularly widely praised. But you are entitled to your opinion of course - and I don't think you're interested in hearing why I and many others rate the story so highly. That's not a short answer, after all, so there's little point me giving it if you're not wanting to engage with it

I was hoping they had fixed these issues over the years and maybe you or others had any tips on getting older content done.

Maybe the newer expansions have better story but Ishgard was dreadful drivel. I am going to start Stormblood next week, we shall see.

Someone is going to be very disappointed Except Bardams Mettle at least it was unique.That said stick with it cause the post MSQ for Stormblood is actually better than most of the story and Shadowbringers is really good.

What issue was needed to be fix? Queue times?

I gave you two tips in my repose: have your FC help you or set up a party finder for the content you want done.
There is also a third tip: counting on the job, you should be able to solo older content at level 80 using the "Undersized Party" feature within the DR settings menu.

The issue is that there is an easy fix for this and i thought that was pretty obvious.

Solution: Prioritize if someone queues up for something the first time, fill his party with Duty Roulette people.

Can't be that hard, now can it?

Easy answer: It can be if no one individually queue's up for it. If there are NO people, how can it fill? This isn't a SE issue, this is a player issue.

You've been away from the game for a while and a few things have changed quite a bit since you left. I would suggest if you want to get that certain extreme done, setup a unsynced party finder group using the Party Finder option, or hop into one already started. (Usually one for Wander's Tails, or WT for short)

Ravana these days can be zerged down pretty darn quickly, so it's a good way to get that done. Ex Primals are usually optional content, and not everyone is gonna be interested in attempting to queue for it, even with roulette involved.

That's not an obvious solution. Other people don't think like you.

As explained by other people within this thread, this is a playerbase issue and not an SE issue. If you want to do older content that is not quickly filled through DF, you have to put some effort in and either network with your FC (or join one if you don't) or us PF.

Oh yes. Quite. One dimensional Characters? A pity. Bad story telling? That just won't do. Dreadful drivel you say? Oh my, what a shame. /posh accent

Lmao. Puts on a haughty persona and puts down HWs story. Honestly just makes you look more like a contrarian than anything else.

All extreme primal are not part of roulette, even current primal may get long queue because randoms will fail 99.99% of the times.

Current primal are done using PF, old primal nobody does them even on PF unless it's by FC/friends because there is ZERO reason why people will redo them when it was farmed during initial release
