Most people I know want to be able to log in and play. Not form some static and log in at specific times to play. Lames....

Even in FFXI that was possible basically with anything except HNM.
Yes. I just gave up trying randoms. I even have some skilled people that I call frequently for moogle / ifrit, which works, but doesn't with Garuda. Why? They don't have the gear. Not fully acc, melded although some are pretty good players for ifrit /moogle standards.
