The Trust system will always remain a failure and garbage to me

Because it's a feature that's decent but could be better. Sorry other people don't like things that you do.

As a lot of other things

Ocean Fishing
Glamour

Just enjoy the part of the game you like and ignore the other ones, specially Trusts, they are NPC, i promise they won't get mad at you

Decent? Your post title calls it garbage. You're changing your story now?

Then do group speed runs if that makes you happy. Why are you here complaining that a feature in this game isn't to your liking? No one is forcing you to do it. Just keep doing group content and you'll be happy.

That is literally what the forums are for.

When something doesnt reach even a decent potential, players are meant to give feedback.

Absolutely he can "do a speed run with a group" but also absolutely Square-Enix can improve upon this system. Its a fact they can, because the FFXI trust system is where they took the idea from, but horribly watered it down. Not only do Trusts in XI do AoE, they also adjust based on a situation, as well as have unique traits such as EXP boosts, do skill chains/magic bursts, you name it.

I will never understand why the consensus of the forums is "everything is fine, dont change anything" except when it comes to "MALE VIERA" and "DELETE MONK" seriously.

I think the system is fantastic for running the dungeon the first time and I have some at maybe 76 or something. The AI is surprisingly good and they do decent damage on bosses.

But yes, lack of aoe really hurts it unless you really don’t want to play with others.

They wouldn’t even need to pull to the wall, just do aoes on 3 mobs or more and it would greatly improve them.

I mean....it's not a feature for you, that's all....
I don't see how that is a failure or garbage just because it takes 10-ish minutes longer than running a dungeon with actual people.
No queue time, no bad players standing in all AoEs, guaranteed loots, a few fun NPC interactions. Worth the 10minutes for me.
Also, honestly, it is far far far away from being the most time consuming and boring achievement to unlock.

I use the Trust system to level up my jobs that I don't know how to play nor do I care to learn. I keep myself away from other players so I don't cause problems. NPC's aren't going to complain about my crap rotation after all.

In that regard I find Trusts quite useful.

And I know they're not meant to replace actual dungeons, but I need every title in the game yet I also do not have enough alcohol to get me through that many trusts.

Is there a title you get for leveling trusts?

yes, there is

I love the Trust system. It allowed me to treat the entire expansion as a single-player FF title. It was fantastic.
