Wrong. It's not a player's problem when you have the same party three times in a row. And bad days do happen, just like bad matchmaking. I've seen very good players lose just by being in a crappy party, even though they do everything to win.

You can get a full party of gold and platinum who run in circles and you can get bronze who know what they're doing. You can get a full party of newbies who get scared or die one by one against the gold. You can press "Push the crystal!" until your fingers hurt and push it yourself, and you'll be dead, because your party at the other end of the arena is running after one person while the enemies kill you.

And it's still a team game. Your permanently dead BLM DRG NIN, who are in the chainstun, will not be able to change the outcome of the battle if they are correctly and at the right time focused.

So about the skill of the player, I only partly agree with you. And all these stories about a player who decided the whole battle at one moment is 10% of reality. The reality is, your group is effectively focusing and pushing the crystal or enemy group. Because I have seen many times how one "good player" at one time cleared the entire enemy party, and the next moment the cockroaches in their group again did not know what they were doing.

DNC in your group, which, by the way, can really change the course of the battle, which does not use DP and runs somewhere far away - this does not depend on your player skill. If you have at least two or three of the group know what they are doing, you have a chance, if only you are trying to compensate with your damage and skills for what others cannot, accept, you will lose.

However, I will not continue this discussion any longer, good luck with your solo victories playing for BLM (because the other group was stupid enough not to focus on you at the right moment or the bard was so stupid that you never got silenced lol).
