I feel like it depends on a few factors:

1) When you say "help" do you mean:
a. Person does everything for you.
b. You attempt to do stuff and only ask for help on things you
can't solo.

2) Define "high tier":
a. Reisenjima armor/weapons.
b. Ambuscade armor
c. JSE, such as AF. (Which requires Omen or dyna to upgrade)
d. Escha-Ru'an Armor
e. SU 5 armor/weapons.
f. Best in slot.

3) If No. 3 is "JSE, such as AF":
a. Do you mean to be carried through content?
b. Are requesting to join an end game LS?

4) In terms of Weapons are you referring to:
a. Gear which can be easily soloed for you, such as Unity Concord options, but won't likely be BiS.
b. REMAs such as Aeonics.

This. A lot of bitching and moaning I see about Mercs are people who usually fall into category 1a/3a. There's plenty of help out there for those who are willing to put in some legwork themselves and not just sit there and wait for the items to drop into their pool.

I don't mind mercing to some extend tbh. So long as the mercs are being fair with pricing/content.

What I don't like is when returning players come back to the game and "expect" to be given gear due to how "easy" the game is. This is most easily seen with aeonics since they can be gotten in a night or two with the right players. But they tend to gloss over the fact that the only reason this is feasible is because people have invested a ton of time into the game to get to that point. Hand-me-downs don't feel equitable to me unless the peorson is actively trying to improve themselves and get better.

This ^.

Aeonics are VERY late game content. The only way to get the weapons without being end game geared is to Merc them or know someone in an Aeonic shell.

Then you should have no problem finding a group to join instead of begging people to let you leech.

I've literally never seen that. I recently returned (to Asura, no less), and was easily able to find an LS to join, even though I only have a single job leveled. If I can get into an LS, anyone can.

If someone's not letting you in, it's because they know you can't contribute, not because they want you to pay for everything.

He probably means that they won't let him join an Aeonic shell due to his lack of gear and that they are offering to let him pay for clears. You're right though, returning player shells are very common. If he can't get into those then it says something about his character.

Focus on getting your JPs first. Worry about high tier gear after you've capped your job.

Then no.

I don't really support the mentality of ppl wanting help with top end gear but not showing any interest in improving themselves to get ready for the event.

i set is so often:
- I want this dagger X
* Why don you get it
- Im to weak to get it
* What about this dagger Y that is easier to get?
- Buts its not the best
* No... but its a Freaking improvement over your sparks gear and you can get yourself ready for the event for dagger X


I just cleaved 4 hours to level ls mates and get hem JP's and took some returning players through ambuscade so they can get ready to establish themselves.
I'm willing to help but don't ask me to play the game for you.

You must be on the wrong server.
Btu seriously dont expect a LS to just drop everything to go build you up if you re not showing any interest in helping yourself.

I might be misreading this but you post seems like you expect to be carried through.

It’s one thing to get high level help; especially with the days of AF/Papyrus alliances long gone, and I’d be willing to help a level 55 character get their AF, or a fresh 99 get some halfway decent gear - but no one is going to carry you through an Aeonic for free. If you don’t want to pay, you’ll either need to work on getting to a point where you can contribute to the process (git gud), or at minimum make good friends in an LS that can help you out.

Honestly, I suggest playing the game. Grab some trusts, do some ROE. If it was me, I’d do a DD class first to get something capable of making quick money via sparks, then focus on a mage/support class next. Mage/support will get more invites to end game stuff, but they’re tougher to level first because it’s hard to keep up with the gil demand of spell scrolls early on in the game.
