I've been using JP since day 2 of the tier. I find it to be more straightforward than it looks.

I'll admit, it's frustrating to see how many people basically voted for the sub to open because "waaa this affects my life in some way." I really hope the FFXIV communities here take off and grow. I doubt I'll be able to avoid Reddit completely, but I have opted to reduce my usage as much as possible.
I'LL START.
LAST NIGHT MY STATIC WAS DOWN TWO PEOPLE, BECAUSE OUR CASTER DECIDED TO QUIT TUESDAY AND OUR REAPER WAS FEELING SICK. WHATEVER, SCRAMBLE UP A SAMURAI FRIEND TO HELP OUT AND OUR DRK'S WIFE JOINS AS MCH (IT'S JUST BEGINNING P10S, PROBABLY NOT GONNA LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE LB3 ANYWAYS, SO WE CAN DO WITHOUT A CASTER).
FIRST PULL: DRK AND MCH START EXPERIENCING HORRENDOUS LAG. LIKE, THE REST OF THE PARTY IS WATCHING THE MCH'S DEAD BODY DO FULL SCALE LOOPTY-LOOPS AROUND THE ARENA. DRK CRASHES OUT. THEY RESET THEIR ROUTER. WE TRY AGAIN. DRK IS LAGGING AGAIN. MCH CRASHES OUT. RINSE AND REPEAT. FORTY MINUTES LATER THEY DECIDE TO GIVE UP TROUBLESHOOTING AND RETIRE. THE REST OF US OPT TO NOT CONTINUE AS WE BASICALLY ONLY HAVE AN HOUR LEFT IN THE RAID SESSION.
FRUSTRATING. WE JUST STARTED P10S THIS WEEK. I WAS SO LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING SOMETHING THAT WASN'T P9S. AT LEAST WATCHING DEAD BODIES WANDER THE ARENA WAS FUNNY.
IT FEELS OUR 8TH SLOT HAS BEEN CURSED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF P5S. I'M NOT SURE WE'VE BEEN A FULL STATIC OF 8 FOR MORE THAN TWO MONTHS SINCE THEN. AND NOW I NEED TO TRY TO DIG UP A MF'ING CASTER.
REAL LIFE RAGE: I HAVE FOLLOWED LIKE FOUR DIFFERENT FFXIV COMMUNITIES ON KBIN AND I HONEST TO GOD HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I SHOULD POST SHIT. I'VE BEEN POSTING HERE BECAUSE I FOUND THIS ONE FIRST. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD CROSS POST TO ALL THE DIFFERENT SUBS. THAT SEEMS MESSY AND REPETITIVE. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT'S OPTIMALLLLLLLLLL HERE.
