Endgame gearing in FFXIV

[Ransu]

Aha didn't know you can make a static with only 4 people(pls don't even start typing just find 4 other people lul) -> also disregards that leading a static actually takes a ton more work/effort than pf life, also disregards that some of my friends don't necessarily play at the same time as me every week since we're all working adults and some work at different times.
Also disregards that we all are smart enough that we 4 wouldn't even want to raid together because our level of play is different enough 2 of my friends just wouldn't mix. Our expectations on what we'd want out of the experience is just way different.
Making a static isn't a real solution to the party finder experience having become significantly less active than first tier. Like when raiding becomes that inaccessible despite there being possible systemic solution I'll just stop playing to be honest.
But honestly it's amazing how you couldn't even come up with any reasons yourself, like are you for real? Do you even know what it takes to raid savage? It sure doesn't seem like it... given how I think that anyone that would raid savage in PF just understands why they're doing that. Like contrary to what some people believe people aren't skipping joining statics cause they like being dicked over by the pf team roulette. They play in PF because that's what their life style allows for, it's simple as that.

But why even detract from the topic from this actual thread with some nonsense that is completely irrelevant. Like I hope you do understand me and my friends even if we were to make a successful static these problems just don't disappear and even if we assume it would work for my case I hope there at least enough braincells left to process that it's not a real solution for most players that play with pf. People have reasons for not playing in statics and it's good for the health of the game that content remains pf accessible but sure disagree and call people that aren't going the extra mile to participate in this content lazy.

Also for sure interesting that this question that is completely irrelevant and serves no actual point except just be anti changes comes again from another clown that doesn't actually seem to participate in PFing savage. Pls why do you people feel the need to even post in here. It literally doesn't affect yall.

Like anyone arguing against this is honestly a freaking weirdo. Like you're arguing against the wish of people of being able to play more jobs in party finder. What an absolute horror and how can players be so entitled???? Everything is fine stop demanding changes that won't affect myself. I hope people can look into themselves and actually realize how cringe that shit is.

Literally your entire rant comes down to its a you problem lol.

Gearing problem affects both static splits people (what if bad tome bis rng gl waiting weeks for tomes for no reason) and pf only players.
"Solution" : just make static 4Head

No wonder i have this guy on ignore list here.

I have cleared p1-3s/p5-7s week 1, p4s week 3, p8s week 4 (very cool rng with hc2 traps), i play for more than a year and i still cant find savage static on DEAD EU REGION (this tier i got bis week 10 very cool, thankfully its useless since no one does logs on EU, i cant play the game, system doesnt even let me help other players because i will give them -1 chest)

And all these white knights can do is post pointless useless trash something something just find a static, statics are not affected!

It's not just a PF problem as well, I started this tier out in PF and then eventually found a static.. Yet, even in a static I haven't been able to get a single twine drop this entire time. I would ask for it every week, explaining how it would be a rather large improvement for me to shift away from tenacity(lel) into more optimal substats; and still, I just went unheard. All of the DPS in the group had 2-3 augmented lunar pieces, and the RDM that has been absent for two weeks rolls need on it even though they can buy twine with books by next reclear.. So, it was basically inefficient for the entire raid for them to roll on it.. I will need two more weeks of guaranteed twine or 8 more weeks of books just to reach BiS, to top it off the statics policy for p8s2 is weapons/chest to DPS first, and who is to say that after one of the DPS gets what they want that they don't just "take a break" or "call off". I am the only person in that static that has even cleared p8s2; after asking for twine for weeks(with me saying I desperately need just one), I quit. This loot system is awful, there is no excuse nor any defense when far better options have been suggested, when it is clear that there could be a far more fair way about things, not to even mention that in my case it is completely impossible for me to get even just one alt job to where I would like it regardless of if I put the time in to reclear every week.

PF simply expects you to play on your main. Thats it. People set the ilvl to 610 or 615, even 620 now because they expect you to be past crafting gear. So if you have been gearing one job and suddenly want to do what Yoshi P suggested and try healer you have to create your own group but no one is going to respect your group because the ilvl you set is low.

But then there is another problem because raiding is the only way to increase ilvl beyond 620. Realistically after 8 weeks you can start gearing another job. Thats if you are serious and start day 1 but a casual player probably wont clear the 4th fight week one and not everyone is lucky enough to win loot every week even when in a static.

Literally running p7s every week for a 1/8 chance to get a twine or wait 1 month to get a guaranteed 1 twine from 4 books for 1 job just to do it all over again for the next piece when you need 3 twines so at worst after 3 months you can have 1 job geared. Who would want to do that same thing on another job? That is why most people just play one role/job while the other jobs simply get scraps.

get a static or bust

SE white knights forcing find static meme so much yet there is no ingame system to find one, you have to rely on third party stuff and also literally how alive your region is (cries in eu again)

Europan Raiding Central discord has like 30 static recruitment offer each day and that's only counting the english ones. I never had any issue finding other players despite the fact that our schedule has to accomodate to two different night shifts.
I'm not here to defend the gearing system and I understand that statics are not fit for everyone, but EU is not dead if you want to find one.

I dont know what you are trying to defend. Am i need to join people who search now for p7s prog?

Just today there are four different offers of static looking to prog P7S on ERC.
I don't know you, what job you're playing and what's your schedule. But the idea that it's impossible to start progging P7S on EU is wrong.

Again, you probably missing my point but w/e you can call a bunch of casual statics "alive region" as you wish.

[FireMage]

Everything but the 2nd point is off. Gearing is more than fine, and really aside from doing more limiting on variance for high potency substats are fine right where they are. Also as to the static bit, if you are looking and can't find one you are either lying about looking, or are undesirable; pick one

While I kinda do agree with you, Kazhar, I think what Stasya means is that she doesn't want to join a roster that's still stuck on P7S W9 (or 10, I don't know anymore), because they're supposedly people that will take one more month or more to kill P8S.

Basically, they feel left out of the "good" static scene because, for whatever reasons, they couldn't join a roster before that. While I don't think it's true, and that you can find good people progging well even two months after the release of new content, I can't blame them for not being willing to try, since even if they CAN find a good static, chance is they'll probably try one or two statics that won't be good for them, and that's a waste of time for everyone involved. If they're naturally introverted, it can be pretty exhausting to do.
