FFXIV Has the Population to Support an ELO system for Duty Finder / Party Finder

If people are constantly reacting negatively to your advice then you're giving it wrong. If all you see are jerks and all that.

ELO in PvE content? Lmao no, go away.

No. That’s not true. It can simply be “turn Hansel towards middle so I can assize plz” and I get berated. Let’s not pull that common denominator stuff. It’s not always the case. Sometimes you just have sour people or white knights who believe you should never, in any circumstance, tell a player what to do

I wouldn't even be doing that content if not for the "carrot" of roulette bonus.

Sounds like you have a toxic relationship with the content itself. If efficiency is your concern, you should be running with a premade group. Expecting efficiency from a randomized group of strangers is flawed from the outset, and that applies to all levels of play in this game.

If incrementing an arbitrary and ultimately ephemeral number in a video game database is enough of a 'reward' to justify dehumanizing other people, you might want to dwell on that for a bit.

We don't support the Electric Light Orchestra in this house

So basically, OP wants less and less people to queue with... just to finish a dungeon a few minutes faster.

That's errr hmmm, interesting?

tell me you don't run a decent amount of higher level roulettes without telling me you don't run a decent amount of higher level roulettes

@OP
this would be a terrible idea, while it would make the roulettes themselves quicker, the waiting times would most likely more than double (and probably quadruple for dps), not to mention that it goes against the intentions of said roulettes themselves

I don't think ELO is necessary for this game, but I can see why someone might want to have it. Sometimes, you want to see how you stack up vs. other players, or just have a greater chance that you get matched with similarly "skilled" (maybe?) players, and this would just be another way to give players that. Considering the "spaghetti code," this would have to be implemented as a separate system, so we'd likely get something like "Duty Finder (ranked)."
Harassment notwithstanding (and being completely un-allowed, may God help you if you think you can get away with even mentioning such a thing in conversation in-game), it would be a feature looked at primarily by certain kinds of players while most others ignore it, and, unless it offered some kind of reward for doing them (which it likely would not offer any particular reward), I can safely say that I would be in the front yard of my FC Estate, continuing to perfect the angle of my postbox for the 14th time.

Just play mahjong man.

In the end, the other players in roulette are equally is ephemeral as those numbers. Random strangers I would see exactly once in my life and will never care about.
