WORST. CT. EVER.
One of the groups was completely retarded, constantly bitching at everything, not helping with fights or running in without any explanation even after the third group actually asked for one. We dropped almost all gear pieces, because ppl wanted something else and didn't want to lot because of the block. Can't even say how close I was to eating the 30mins.

With this community I'm not really surprised. Kinda glad I quit when I did so I didn't have to go through that crap.

Yeah, I fuckin called it, too. Forcing ppl to use DF for this dungeon was a stupid idea right from the beginning. Not sure if I wanna got back in there anytime soon.

The obvious answer is to troll the hell out of them until they kick you so you don't incur the 30 minute penalty. The lockout timer is retarded and serves zero actual purpose and now actively encourages people who want to leave groups to be massive assholes and waste everybody's time so they don't incur said lockout.

However you're also going to get the stubborn people that, because the very act of wanting to leave a group is going to be considered being an asshole, will refuse to kick you from the group because it actually benefits you. So it's like a ridiculous game of Chicken at that point.

They should just copy the way wow does the LFG tool, where they've refined it enough trolls can't abuse the system the way it is being done currently in FFXIV. Although luckily I've not had the pleasure of a bad group both in instances and PVP (via trolling).

I have seen some "interesting" groups however in PVP lately, like people just... sitting on benches not even attacking

**Scythiroth** · 2013-12-19 10:23

Why are we still unable to untrack quests? =/

Fortunately, this is still a learning experience for SE. They're still learning how to be a relevant, modern MMO. This is absolutely a hiccup on the path towards maturation, but its one that we can essentially file away as a late, post-launch beta test. They will not repeat this method for future content - not if they want to remain relevant on the grand stage.

Its bullshit, absolutely, but none of the people posting on BG right now -need- anything from CT in terms of progression of their mains. Its a tool for gearing up alt jobs or looking snazzy in town (with Monk gear), but even that realization does little to alleviate these frustrations.

I originally had little desire to to CT after I heard I couldn't bring 24 of my own people into the dungeon. Hearing about the hilarious drama that we all knew was going to ensue didn't help. Seeing everyone rage over the FATE timers nonsense just sealed the deal. I honestly have no idea when I'll step foot into CT, or even finish the quest. Probably whenever I get my monk up high enough to start wearing the gear.

I've done 4 CTs and it does get better. It's way easier when in each party someone takes charge and explains the mechanics in /p instead of expecting them to listen to the 3 guys explaining different phases of the fight simultaneously on the alliance chat. I don't know about the other data centers, but in mine there are a lot of French people that probably don't understand English well. Those who don't understand English well need a translator, so look for one before you start.

Soon enough people will make video guide and the shitstorm will pass.

The best is when you do CT and someone gets gear and leaves right after. No reason to do the dungeon if you can't get anymore gear. The amount of tomes you get is very inefficient compared with everything else you can do.

We had a guy last that was the other tank in my party. Alliance chat was telling him to go to the other tower for the behemoth fight. He just stood there, not saying anything. So literally after like 5-10 minutes of waiting for him we decide to kick him. He gets kicked. 20s later he rejoins and fills the spot we just kicked him from. Says in party chat "I'm not moving to the tower until we pull. You can kick me all you want and I'll just keep coming back".

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

Bro we just waited TEN MINUTES for you because we thought you were afk. He goes "I have alliance chat muted". Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I sweat there are some STUPID ASS PEOPLE out there.

Unsure about instances, but in PVP, if you stand still for 1min you get a system message

"You have been marked afk for inactivity, if you don't do anything in the next 3min you will be automatically removed from the duty"

Think it is 10 minutes for dungeons, but yeah, much less time before booted in PVP.

MSQ: I thought we were done with the BS run and get this, get that crap? Recycling level 15 and 30 guild hests, lv 35 dungeon, more run and get this and that bull shit quests. Does anyone actually LIKE doing this stuff?

Think she was trying to keep a low profile, but got carried away with the pvp stuff to shine through!

You have made my fucking day. Can't tell you how many times I wanted to reply to the constant negativity but had to keep saying in my head either 'It's gotta be a troll' or 'Can't whiteknight the complaint thread'

Despite the patch boosting the exp for battleleves (I know, I know, I'm taking a break from crafting and gathering so I have to use them on something), SE didn't change the displayed exp for them when you accept them. So, nice that I got more exp, but, good god, how do you not change that?

I was moaning about that on Tuesday, I noticed the usual 7000 odd handout becomes 9000 on the quest, but is the boost much bigger upon completion? I haven't done a single 1 yet.

still I usually keep out of FFXIV related arguments... I rarely have anything positive to say. Keeping up with its updates though :D hoping for the best.

ILU all? D:

I thought that was weird at first too but I think what's happening is you are getting the Armoury Bonus applied to the levequest exp reward now. So the default quest reward is still correct, you just get a 50% bonus on completion by default now.

just a general complaint (not about the game) finding a whm to replace the one we had for 2 months is driving me insane. The last two have been total flakes who basically "show up when they feel like it"

And now we have to find a whm for a third time..........i'm starting to think we're never going to get another shot at twin (we were preparing to kill him 3 weeks ago....when the dude had to stop playing for RL reasons)

a;slkdkhjf;alskdjf;laksjdf;laskdjf;alskdjf;alskdjf a;sldkjf;alskdjfas;ldfkj so flustrated, and shouting for a whm is a total crap shoot.
