Request: I don't want to solo the main scenario

[Elexia]

Then it better be much easier to get a group together for the main scenario. Again, I was never able to do Moon Reading at lv75. I had to level to 99, gear up, and solo that fight on my RDM to actually get rank 10. Being stuck at rank 9 for close to 3 years is not fun, and I don't want to have to go through the same here.

That's not a game's problem, I did Sandy, Bastok AND Windy from rank 1 - 10 well before the 99 cap. Do you actually seek out help? Have friends? I even did CoP (while it was capped) up to 5 times counting a sea mule I had to drag through.

It's easy to get a group together if you have enough friends willing to help, otherwise you can't necessarily blame a game being designed for groups and no one wants to help. The only reason it'll be hard is if people are still stuck in the "This is supposed to be a solo MMO" mentality and SE neglects to add a "seeking x,y,z" comment system like they added in XI.

Now we tread close to insults and I know the responses. So let me pretend I'm Joseph Joestar and predict what you'll say.

Duelle: I asked for help, but never got any responses.
Elexia: Ask harder. You should have spent even more time in Jeuno and Windy asking for help.

Duelle: My friend (Singular. I'm socially awkward and have a VERY irregular work schedule. It's hard enough for people to actually remember me, much less be around me long enough) was usually busy. Shell was usually busy. So no bites from there.
Elexia: lolgetnewfriends (because it's so easy, right? >.>)

Now, with the predicted asinine responses from you aside, there should be a way you can look for group for story content. Content finder would be a nice idea to implement, because as I said, it sucks being stuck at a certain part of the story. I went through 3 TAU statics to actually see the damn ending, because the groups kept ditching me to finish the story without me due to my irregular work schedule. So yeah, I got screwed hard by XI's story design. Sorry, but I'm never going to put stock into the whole "massive reliance on others" argument when said argument is largely detrimental to my experience in-game.
