FBs - How The Heck?

Okay, so my friend and I want to do our FB. And we want to do it at our level, preferably with nobody more than 3 levels over the final boss (because of drop rates and such). Also, it's a matter of pride. Is this so wrong? No! It;s not! It can be done quite easily, so why not give ourselves a challenge? It's more fun that way!

But I digress. So my friend and I decide to recruit for FB29. What do we get? 2 decent Clerics (one of whom insists on chatting with his girlfriend over the party chat (annoying as hell)), And a cocky, rude, disrespectful BM who, let's just say, in now on our Blacklist.

But we manage to finish it, quite easily. We get the drops, move on, and assume that next time it will be better. Is it? Well, a little. We actually get a full party, and things seem to go quite well. Then one of our clerics has to leave. The other cleric is hesitant, but willing to continue, But our wizard, our primary DD, decides "OH NO ITS TOO DANGEROUS!!!11!!!!oneoneone" And says she wants to call in a level 5X Cleric. I said no, so she decides to be difficult and flake out, only lending her spellcasting on the actual bosses. Then on the final bass, she goes inactive for 10 minutes and leaves us all hanging! Before she finally decides to join us, not a single word of apology or anything.

/rant

tl;dr How the heck is a guy supposed to get a decent FB team?! When everyone else is either 1) An idiot/jerk or 2) A bloody coward?
[Insert pithy quote here.]

    And it wasn't even that hard. Even with the missing cleric it was easy. >_>

    Oh well. Today wasn't the worst at least. =P

    People have been fed this line that "You have to have high levels for your FB." I overheard someone in Etherblade (Raging Tide server) saying you had to have 50+ help for an FB19...

    On my alt, I decided I wanted to do my BHs without calling my main in to help. But it hasn't made a difference, because she's now 5x and I haven't done a single BH29 or BH39 where someone didn't call in a higher level to help. b:sweat

    "I hate that"

    "Back in my fb19 with was me BM 21 a Wiz 21 and a Cleric 19 and a Veno 24 and it was a very interesting fun run. And it was done with only 2 deaths."

    "FB 29..was another story..>-< ..At my level now I go in to help anyone just for the pure thought of revenge for the 10+ deaths that Boss has caused in my time lol"

    "It is more fun and interesting when full squad is close to the Boss level range. AND...with good fun players as well."
