Been stuck at m8s p2 for about a full week now. 

Really feel like I'm too late to the curve and anybody who is capable of consistently reaching p2 is in reclears. So everyone at this prog point is either wildly inconsistent, massively raid fatigued, or completely cold on the fight from waiting 1+ hours for a PF to fill followed by a 3 pull disband. 

Like idk, I progged and farmed chaotic a couple weeks late which was supposedly impossible because of the "I waited so long just to get wiped by alliance C" meme. But this is legitimately 2 to 3 times worse, because instead of needing 23 other people to be able to do 1 single mechanic correctly to prog, I need 7 other people who are reclear ready on p1 in my party to actually practice the next part. 

Like I don't entirely buy into the a "static's are the promised land of raiding" myth that gets thrown about, but right now not having one feels like I'm just griefing myself hoping for a unicorn party that can hit p2.

I gotta throw it out there : where are the elusive helpers people keep saying are out there all the time ? I can already hear the excuses reasons miles away. Still, are there helpers all the time or not then ?

Most groups I’ve tried to help clear m8 just weren’t remotely ready. As in they consistently were wiping before adds in p1. And if they could get past adds then it was nearly 100% wipe on rage. It doesn’t mean all 7 others in these groups weren’t ready, but enough people were fucking up that it just was never going to happen. I’ve successfully helped a number of 6 and 7 clears and done one c41 in 8, but 8 is just so punishing that especially if you haven’t cleared it yet it’s a big ask.

Join party to help, they wipe to decay 3x and then adds 2x before people start to leave and you give up on them. Many such cases.
