Minimum party size isn't a fix for congestion, because it always benefits multiboxers over single-character players. It's pretty much an inconvenience for those who don't have extra characters, dressed up as a way to "fix" congestion. The players who would need to benefit from a 3-party minimum the most (the ones left out most of the time) get the least out of it. Multiboxers are already entering with multiple characters, so they don't require anyone to get into the event and join it. At best, 3-party minimum holds back the progress of legitimate single-box players. Backhanded fix.
Again, this comes back to an appropriate duty finder or raid buddy system. You queue solo if there is a 3-character limit, but the game can find players who also want to join for the same event at the same time. Incentivize that you will enter the fight sooner if you pair up with nearby players, which the system can alert you to. If finds people. It prompts you to join up, you review who/jobs/etc bam, you have your party and can enter. Without that system in place, 3-party limit fixes nothing.

Thank you everyone for the confirming that I should indeed build Excalibur next :^)

Gjallarhorn, because it's an excellent piece of equipment that will be useful forever and will certainly never have its sole function usurped by a later and more powerful instrument...
Nah, but really, I like Rhongomiant. I know it's never the right tool for the job, and Trishula outperforms it in any but the dumbest edge cases (but look out moogle Ambuscade, I'm ready for you!) but I dunno, the triple damage aftermath is just so satisfying. Sucks that its associated weaponskill is like the one option dragoon has that can just completely miss, I guess Camlann's torment was something to do with being blind.
I guess I could extend that to two-handed empyrean weapons in general, I really like Caladbolg for the "surprise, 8k crit with low buffs" factor too, but Rhongo is the only one where it feels like I'm choosing to use it.
(also have you seen the tarutaru model for trishula, it's a goddamn sewing needle, let me use a real spear okay)

Excalibur for RDM, having a decently strong Fusion WS on tap is just so nice for both solo and group play. After that, probably my Helheim cause it looks cool.
The 30 HP/tic Regen and 3 MP/tic that can't be dispelled is icing on the cake.

Nintendo is the greediest company Nowhere near the greediest.
Why do I feel like Amazon is in the top 5?
Because the horror stories are true? Amazon breaks laws to save money, and then poaches/hires Justice department lawyers to fight defend their bad behavior. Worse case? They pay the fine and still have a net gain.

I still like Godhands. Although they're probably a net negative for MNK wrt skillchain properties, they make a lot of MNK WSs viable and are pretty fun.

I could point out any number of companies or industries that are greedier but that could be construed as political ESPECIALLY as the greediest grow exceedingly wealthy sucking money out of governments.

Kusanagi - SAMs best weapon.
4/5 step Light, 3/4 step dark and tons of macc for Hybrids.
It’s fun and does ridiculous damage in most situations.

Definitely Guttler for me
The extra attack extra dmg attack aftermath on a job that gets almost no native atk bonuses
Actually makes /war feel really strong
And axe is probably my favorite of all weapon types
Carnwenhan second for almost no reason
I like the way it looks the am3 is nice song duration too
Notable mentions
Apocalypse is my girlfriend
Bravura translates to off the throne
Had really good times with anni and kannagi at previous level caps
Really like the stories to Excalibur and aegis

The problem with minimum party sizes are again people and their bots. I hate having to shout for 2 other people to do delve, its gross.

I think its fine protecting their IP, but Im still pretty salty with all the ***they throwed at Palworld.
In Palworld case, I do believe they are wrong, but their are abusing their power to get rid of a competitioner

Well, they can still be *** despite not being wrong, I'm not giving Nintendo a pass for the past shady ***they done, but you have to have single digit IQ (or so high IQ you're socially inept) to have a lawsuit thrown at you, be given the out to escape with zero penalty provided you stop what you're doing, pinky swear to stop, then proceed to do the very thing that started the lawsuit which you said you'd not do.
Its likely the high IQ and socially inept, because I doubt single digit IQ could do the things he was doing.
That dude self-pwn

You're gonna lose the case, at best you hope for a slip up and a technicality, but chances of that are gonna be small. You're out $2m to Nintendo, why add legal fees for a losing case on top of it? That calls for out of court settlement not for posing as a fool. And even then you want a lawyer.
I mean, maybe don’t say you’re gonna stop doing something, then not stop. Especially when dealing with a company like Nintendo who’d punch a puppy in the face for looking too close to the cover pupper of Nintendogs. Then sue the owner

Two things can be true at the same time: you are totally right and the dude was REALLY dumb to represent himself, but it's also a huge idiocy that this sort of lawsuit is won by who has the most money rather than, you know, what the law actually says, and Nintendo is famously very litigious even in cases when there absolutely no illegal act being committed.

surprised the litigation is in US. I knew Japan had very strict laws against modding, didn't know they had any chance at winning here though.
Oh no the US also has very strict copyright and anti-piracy laws. You profit off someone else's work and they come for you, you better back down. This guy had no chance of winning.
