My feelings currently about everything within the static.

You wanna know how so?

Well, like you told me just now. Your priorities lie with the agency and such. Which to a degree is fine. That is something that needs to be taken care of. I get this. But. When you are wanting to make a static to raid - whether casually, mid-core, or hardcore, you need to put in your all to make sure that things are going well for the static. For each of the members and for that of yourself as well. Since we have stated this static, jokingly or not, we have told you time after time again to up your gear. Your response usually was that you were too busy to do so. We continually give you solutions, some taking longer than others to help rectify the situation. Item level helps tremendously and also matters. So you aren't helping when you have y'know a 560 ilvl weapon, not only that. It being the artifact weapon for gunbreaker, I believe.

But you resort to wanting to have the team help you out with doing so. While that is something that can be done, why should people go out of their way to help when the person who is the one in need should be taking the initiative to make sure that their gear is up to date and that they are capping each week. Yes, you are busy and I know that I am not putting words in your mouth for this, however...we are all busy with things as well. But yet, we can get our stuff done. You say things one time and then fall back from them the next. Such as when Sid was around for p1s and she wanted to drink one Thursday night and you specified that they couldn't because we were progging.

Which was the correct thing to do because of the fact that we were progging. However yesterday, you spoke about playing a drinking game ( possibly if someone donated ) with Luna while we were progging. Progging legit the worst fight of the tier thus far. Thus we go from actually progging and getting farther than we have with the pulls to legit de-progging the entirety of the night. Which I don't know if you know is v e r y frustrating. It is also one of the reasons of why I was silent and why I deafened for most of the night. Because I couldn't handle all that was going in the call. So what needs to be done is that you as a raid leader need to put an actual foot down on drinking while we are progging through the content.

It also to me felt like a bit of favourtism really. Drinking and shenanigans like that should only be happening once we know the fight fully and have cleared it so that we can reclear. This way of us handling things will not fly for 5 - 8 due to it being the current content. It was also very hypocritical of you to allow Luna to drink while we are/were progging P3S but shut down Sid when we were doing the same thing with P1S. Yes, P1S is an vastly easier fight than 3 but the fact that it was allowed bothered me.

You say that you put in effort into this static. I will not say that you don't because there have been instances of when you do. However, its true when you say that Ren and Ry help out a lot. You tend to over-explain mechs, talk over people explaining things and watch other people unneedingly. To make sure things are smooth as they can be, those comments should be kept to the end of the pull. Why? Because you talking about it in the midst of the pull will disrupt callouts and not only that, confuse the hell out of people when people are trying to focus on learning the mechanics at hand. You also complaining about the tethers is/was a bit unneeded as well.

Some other things that I would like to bring up: You spoke about how you find the time to make sure that videos are posted and such. I'm not sure if you know but, you haven't posted videos on anything. The people who have been doing so are Ren and Ry. What you like / tend to do is post reminders to people saying 'hey, make sure you have watched the guide before we step into the fight'. I cant say much about you helping others in DMs because I've not spoken to the others on this, nor do I tend to. But it brings suspicion to me when you always state that you are busy. So I honestly cannot believe that you do at this point. You make sure that we run smoothly? I mean, you try your best at trying to do that and it fails a lot of the time because everyone ( and myself sometimes ) like to play around and joke more than really be serious about the pull and the wipes.

I'm not sure if this was changed but the loot order for if we even get to 5-8 will have to be that of DPS -> Healers -> Tanks. Why? Because there are a lot of DPS Checks and Heal Checks going on within the tier. Tanks aren't gonna need it as much as everyone else is. Something else that I would like to bring up is the usage of ACT. When we are progging, there is no actual use for it. Because of the fact that we are all for the most part learning these fights. Yes, it is good for seeing damage but damage isn't important when you are trying to learn mechanics. The only thing having act up for is like you've always said xivanalysis. I think that the talk about it should cease if anything while we are progging and only to be worried about if checks aren't made and we are like doing reclears or something. There shouldn't be competition in the static because that is how people will build egos that will build pride and think that they are better than someone else in the static. We are a team. The only person that we should be competition against is ourselves and the boss.

When I joined this static, I knew from what you have told me that we were going to be progging / clearing the tier with new people. I am still 100% fine with that. But my expectations have not been met really as far as us as a group. We shouldn't be clearing content on fuck-ups ( P1S & P2S ). We should be clearing with minimal deaths since this is old content and our gear /should/ out-level this. I am putting this out there now that I will not spend months on any fight new or old because it should never take that long if people are actually taking the time to take the initiative with things, such as progging the fight possibly on another name, watching the videos etc.

My current feelings with this is that I want to see improvement. From everyone. Mostly you. That includes myself as well. I want us to clear this fight because as much as everyone talks about how bad this fight is, it should give people motivation from that to do whatever it takes to clear the fight. If nothing changes this week, I will more than likely dip from the static and look for another group. Because as of right now and as of our last time together, this is beginning to feel like a waste of time for me. Esp. when our raid leader doesn't actually make the time for us and clearly has other priorities. Something has got to give.

You wanted to know what more you should be doing, well there you go. I might have forgotten some things possibly but that's all that I have currently.
