why should people who can do the content on their own search for a group where they have to teach? Why should those people sacrifice their times to run with someone that has no idea what he is doing. The fact that people still search for HM Groups with achievements proove that there are plenty of players out there to choose from, if you couldnt find people with achievements anymore, they would search for any player. Lets be honest with yourself. Would you rather: A: search for teammates who have done the bossfights in HM/NM before and have a high chance of succeeding. B: search for people who havent done so just to teach the boss mechanics for the 100th time to people you have never met and fail 90% of the time. Again, people want group members who have complete the OP because its faster, it isnt as nerve wracking and there are still enough people who meet those requirements to change things up.

thats when you form a raid group. ( 8 people from different guilds that come together to play ops together) no need to join guilds for that

what is hindering new people to join up with other new people and attempt them together while reading guide or watching some of the awesome boss video guides someone posts here in the forums and complete them together? Oh right i forgot you dont want to invest time into "old content". If you cant clear 5-2 year old content in the harder difficulties then its not old for you. If i buy a new game and dont want to invest time into it and dont want to die a few times at each chapter i turn the settings to easy and not hard/very hard.

that already exists in the form of Storymode, no knowledge required, basicly press 123 on tank dps and heal and you are done. While i am partly with you that people with hm knowledge could teach pugs how the bosses are to be played, you also have to understand that people dont want to teach people all the time in their own free time, maybe they do it in their guild for 1 or 2 days a week and just want a smooth run for once and search for experienced mates.

so being able to buy rewards from the same 10 quests every day for 1 weeks is somehow more of a event then beeing able to play the whole game again and also getting rewards? ok its kinda the same just you have more stuff to do with this event. Maybe you ran the game 10 Times already, but you also have ran the gree event countless times on many toons. So why i Gree an event in your eyes and DS/LS not? ah right they lock you out of gree after 1 week again

Here is how you are able to play Those OPS: LFM (Looking for more) Dread Fortress SM Newbie run 2 Tanks 2 Heals 4 DPS (substract your role from these). Everyone welcome. I guarantee you in less than 20 minutes your group will be full and with at least someone who has done it before and can explain the fights for you. It is that easy. Just copy the text into the General Chat on the Fleet and maybe the LFG Channel if your server has one and repeat the same for Dread Palace. is it really that hard?

Uhh if people still wipe on that content than it may be 2-4 years old, but for the people wiping it is new content, because if you knew the content from 2-4 years ago, you wouldnt wipe your *** of them

You dont understand the System in this game. The Free to Play in this game refers to "Star Wars The Old Republic". At no Point anywhere in the F2P Page does it tell you that anything past this is part of the F2P model. We are now at an EXPANSION of the CORE game, which costs money, at this moment a monthly subscription. I dont know this Age of Wushu, but im sure, you dont get the latest expansions for free, only as a sub or as a one time payment (just like here Hutt Cartel and Shadow of Revan mind you) And please tell me in which country you live, 50$ sounds like ********, no offense

well yes its a hardmode op, it makes absolutely no sense that its easier than every SM OP that exists.

Nobody asks for achievements or starparse for SM operations, at least not the majority, few of them may want TS for some basic communication but even there are loads of SM groups that dont need that. no "raiding guild" is keeping you out of SM ops, there are literally hundreds forming every day, just join one, hell many of them are first time runs from what is see, just jump in there. And if you dont want to work to clear a specific content that is designed for groups that have to work together then maybe raids arent something for you in your specific situation. Im sure the majority of people playing this game have a job or something else to do outside of gaming so that is not an excuse. I havent seen many people under the year 16 or sth

implying starparse tells you what to do if there was something wrong with useing starparse you can bet Bioware/EA or whoever would have done something about it

it was not a hardcore raiding group, we went from all the SM ops as a team and then through HM SNV clear in march 2014 after 3 weeks of wiping, Asation clear somewhere in may 2014 after another weeks of wipes, then we wiped 3 months on the 4rd boss of DF and cleared DP fairly easily in late August 2014 as a guild. I may add that i joined this guild while beeing lvl 32 or sth and then stuck with them, but i refuse to believe there are no guilds available that do casual SM OPS for now and then, when enough people are willing to take the next step tackle HM Ops. I see at least 3 of them recruiting on my german server. But maybe slowpoke can tell us on which server he plays, im willing to transfer my legacy to that and even buy a lvl 60 to watch the situation on his server.

if they join my guild and go raiding with us after a integration period sure, but i wont explain random strangers the bosses when i want to relax, sorry again

i bet he did it with a guild in hard earned weekly sessions of wiping over weeks/month. ofcourse everyone is a stranger at some point, but after 1 or 2 weeks in a guild when you are somewhat integrating yourself you are part of it and the fun can begin. you cant expect something to come to you without giving at least a littlebit

sure, some are bought or carried, but not ALL of them, because thats what he is saying
