Players are leaving?

[Dutch]

My friends are all leaving of the game, claiming that it is very difficult to get things
only closed groups are the best events.
Power level and boots created bad players.
This is happening with friends you too?

[Xinundra]

Nope due to the fact that me and my friends keep a tab of who's good and bad players so if we decided to look for groups on anything else, we know who we should invite and shouldn't.

[SniperRifle]

My friends all still play.

Also find a good LS or two on your server and apply, I never have problems finding groups for anything now
Good luck

[Molly_Millions]

I never have issues finding a group. As a matter of fact, I usually have invites as soon as I log in.

If we don't invite the "bad" players (inexperienced ones), they will never get "good" or the level that people expect everyone to play at.

Not everything should be done with LS only and you shouldn't have to find a LS to do specific things.

We invited a new person to moogle because no one else wanted to join. They NEVER did moogle before. Took two tries to get them aquainted with moogle and we won. People have NO patience when it comes to new players

[Chardrizard]

I invite people outside LS all the time, I just boot'em if i happen to see them sporting full AF on BLM.

Moogle is a very straightforward fight. If a new player in a party of experienced players can't figure it out in one try then something is wrong.

However, alternative content like CC/AV/Garuda and Ifrit (to an extent) have multiple phases and require lengthy explanation. This is where static groups will make the difference.

The best advice I can give anyone is to get Mumble, Teamspeak, and Vent. Once you do get into an experienced group they will be much more likely to invite you in the future if you can communicate easily. Nobody wants to type a small novel to explain how to do CC. At the same time, nobody wants to run with an unfamiliar person who "knows it all."

I can agree 100% with this. Even if you do not have a mic or are for some reason ashamed of your voice or just don't like talking around new people. It pays to have things like vent and mumble handy. Even if you do not talk you can hear whats going on.

I don't mind inviting people new to fights as long as they say that they are new and ask questions/pay attention/etc.

Garuda is the only exception, at least for now while we are still learning the fight. It just demands a lot more from you than every other fight in the game.
