    I do indeed create 2 death parties. And if in fact I die in them from lag or whatever I remove myself. I have the achievement for clears and 4 primal weapons. I dont want to carry people nor do I want a carry. The fact is a large portion of the player base is flat out derps. The restriction is there to scare them away. And even if they do join the party it is also there to remove them in hopes of getting the party a clear.

    Duty finder and grouping with friend/fc is there to help you learn. IF you get in one of the said groups you are getting in a farm or a 1 shot group.

    in short dealwithit.com
    I do something similar. Instead, I write in PF: "You may die/screw up as many times as I do + **some base number here**." So I'll give them maybe 2 free deaths + the amount of times I screw up or die. Usually this works in scaring people off. I have only had to remove a few players who were obviously new and trying to join an experienced/farming run.

    I've done farming runs on Ultima where one of the WHMs would die every time. Didn't actually remove him since we were killing him every time as well. If it had been Titan Ex, though, it would be a different story...

    If you're wondering why we do this, it's simply because we are not there to teach you. I have seen many, many PF groups that have formed with the "new players welcome/let's learn the fight together" tag up. It is nice to know new players have an option to join these groups (or even make their own).

    If I am playing with a very limited amount of time or know that I will need to kill something 20+ times in one day for a moderate chance at an item, I don't want these players in my group. I just want people there who have done it so many times that it just becomes a dance to them just like it is to me.

    You don't have to join these groups and you can even BLIST the leader of the group so you don't have to interact with them again. That might be the best thing to do for both parties.

    Time is a precious resource to some. Maybe respect that? If you can't respect my wishes, I have no interest in speaking with you.
