The person that makes the party gets to pick gear that no one can roll on except for him, everyone else just greeds or needs their loot.

Who's foolish enough to enter a party like that? I can understand if it's an FC run and the person asks in advance for the piece, but a bunch of randoms? That don't fly.

Anyone who isn't looking for that item. It's not a big deal.

It doesn't bother me because most people don't lead parties for fear of responsibility or reputation. In that case, it doesn't bother me if someone takes the time to lead it and asks for something in return. If you don't agree with the terms, you don't join. It's really simple.

I don't do it often, but I've done it before. If I want to secure a good DPS, who is already geared out, he may only join for an off-job weapon. Since I know he's good and won't die to avoidable damage/mechanics, I don't mind doing that.

People that don't need that specific gear but need other gear.



Anyway, don't like the rules, don't join. If those runs are not popular, they wouldn't be able to get people to join. Not like that person is forcing you or tricking you. There are tons of other parties available. You can even make your own group if you don't like the rules others are making.

I also don't get why some people like to inform that they put someone on their blacklist. Just blacklist that person and get on with it! You don't need to inform anyone that you have blacklisted someone.

They happen all the time on Diabolos, quite successfully too, most people locking an item really only want that item, and won't roll on anythin else.

Congratulations, you've been dubbed a "week player."

Definitely sounds better than being called a weak player!

It's like being awarded employee of the week. Then you get blacklisted by your jealous colleagues.

Maybe after being added to this site they'll advance to a weekend player! XD

Makes me laugh, Party Finder was added to facilitate players making parties with their own requirements/desires. Whether thats skipping CS's requesting a minimum Ilvl or reserving an item. Whatever they want. Yet you still get people demanding that they should change their requirements to suit them. Instead of either ignoring it and looking for a party that fits their requirements, or making their own PF party.

Their party, their rules. Don't like? Don't join. ^_^

That's seriously a thing? How in the hell do some people manage in the real world???
