The reason for that is that it stops the farm party becoming a clear party. The idea of a farm party is to fit as many clears into a space of time as possible, if you wipe a few times you suddenly cut your farmed rewards by a fairly large margin, which is counterproductive to the farm. I get what you are saying, some people are assholes (^), but it's YOU that is entitled by looking down on people who are doing their own thing and is something you don't have to participate in at all. Bottom line is that so long as you have the ability to make your own group, insulting others for making the kind of groups that they want makes you entitled to the system.Quote:

It hasn't even been a full day

06-09-2016, 03:33 AMScarletDawnHow does wiping cut down on farm? You gain the same thing regardless of dying so wouldn't it make sense to keep going after a wipe then suddenly rage quit and reform a group which then takes even longer...Quote:

06-09-2016, 03:39 AMLambdafishThis I agree with you on, joining any party with your own agenda, ignoring the party leaders agenda is a selfish thing to do on either side. My point about wiping is that there is a difference between one mistake that doesn't give a clear picture of player skill (say I mess up in the first run, apologise and say that it won't happen again), and repeat wipes that just waste everyone's time. This isn't even about ability though, it's about laziness, I have to label my levi pony farm parties as "please do mechanics" because of the amount of times I have disbanded due to 0 clears in a farm party, people either zerg or think they can ignore the fundamental mechanics. People may think I'm "entitled" for demanding that people do mechanics, but all I want is clean runs so that I can make the best use of my time.Quote:

06-09-2016, 03:43 AMScarletDawnIf the same person constantly messed up then yes i agree they need to be asked to leave, my gripe is we are human we all make mistakes so only letting people have 1 mistake seems daft. But hey seems gone are the Sephi days on my server people seem a bit more relaxed with this fight not seen any harsh PF and people say they clear it so hopefully its not as brutal.Quote:

06-09-2016, 03:49 AMLambdafishHonestly, I think 90% of the time it is a scare tactic. They won't actually boot you if you make one little mistake, but saying so means that anyone who is even a little unsure of the fight will be deterred from the party, meaning they only get confident people who will make the run go smoothly.Quote:

*Pulled a random time out my arse as I do not farm Ravana. -
06-09-2016, 05:43 AMScarletDawnMy point is it doesnt make sense, you quit and kick out people cause of wipe then spend ages finding more people only to wipe more...its an endless, unless you get 8 player you know who can do it then why would you PF?Quote:

The endgame forum which shall go unnamed has sown this cancerous mentality since FFXI. I'm less than surprised their adherents are putting this garbage up already.

People need to ignore these kind of people and move on. Do you really want to play with a person who has that kind of attitude anyways?
It's a online game people are going to be what they are and make hilarious demands of their groups, these people need to be ignored. Move on with your life, make your own non terrible human being PF and get your practice in and then make your own clear groups with your own rules. -
06-09-2016, 10:52 AMLuciddreamerWow.For some reason I have a huge desire to whack who ever made that party on the head to knock some sense into that delusional buffoon.Quote:

When I make a party.I clearly state that I want patient players.Anyone who is hot headed and impatient will get kicked.Nothing ruins a game more than terrible personalities.People forget that games are meant to be enjoyed.Instead they take it to seriously and ruin it for everybody.I have very little tolerance for bad attitudes and very tolerant towards those that want to have fun, laugh and learn :)
