6-mans are even older than t4 raids...I've not done them except for occasional guild runs in about a year.
I farm RF for the pet for my main bear, who has all the t1/t2/t3 vendor pets and over 400 t4 relics now. Plus near full t6 gear.
I also farm it for my other 13 alts who are worth getting rings for.
I do raid but its nice to do things that don't require a lot of prep and set up and no fights over loot (like wb and rf) when I want to relax and watch tv on the side as I fight (noise background and my tv is right next to the computer so I can glance at it also). I only did three rfs last night because I got home late and they weren't popping fast.
Only Funcom knows if the player numbers are boosted by rf and wb. And they don't talk about server population. As long as the t6 raid doesn't drop t5 or t6 random relics its not that easy to gear up full t4 from raid finder imo. Yes I have had dragon tears drop from a blue box...twice I think and I do a fair number of rfs.
I'm more annoyed by lottery box t5 sets being dropped frankly. Especially since I only need 9 t5s for the rune for my pom and would like to get them but I don't do well with slot machines.
I've been farming RF/TF heavily for T3 relics. Why? I want the pets I finally got all my T3 relics I needed -- I needed around 400. Now I also did weekly T3s (18) and T2s(21-->7T3s). So in 4 weeks or so I got 350-400 (lost count). But I would avg about 2/session. During this 4 week period I also got 3 Dragon Tears, 5 or 6 T3 Rares and maybe 50-70 T4 tokens (I have around 750 T4 relics on my main -- wish i could do something with). (Also about 150 shards extra not from purple box, so the 8/time drop).
Now that I've gotten the T3s I will prob not farm as much until T6 series to get that pet.
But yes you can gear T4, but its going to take a very long time.

I've been looking for 6-man groups for quite some time, but I have one simple rule: any ad containing 'AA/XP/GEAR' is dismissed as soon as it is read. Since there's nothing else, I haven't been doing 6-mans for more than a year. On that point, the blame is on the shortcomings of the players.

d) do you want spend hours and finally realize if you had that AA that was needed you could do the encounter??
AA/XP/GEAR is for efficiency, ease of use and completing the encounter.
So how is this the shortcomings of the players??? I guess I dont understand maybe you are fully geared out and you want new players??

I do not understand how you say its for efficiency when people are spending over an hour spamming in global. I know many people in khitai purple or t4+ who are absolutely atrocious at their classes, who grab aggro and then are too stupid to STOP DPSING and run around like clucking chickens, and MANY of them are from your guild.
I would like to counter your questions with
a) Do you want people with no experience in the dungeon to lie to you when you demand they already have gear or xp?
b) Do you not desire to help keep people on this game by teaching new players?
c) Would you rather spend an hour spamming global every two minutes rather than take 5 minutes to walk someone through an encounter?
d) Do you want to make new 80s feel like sh*t because they dont have their AA tree filled like yours is?

Seeing what Raid Finder did to Jade Citadel last night made me cry inside....
