Please add clearance condition to Group Finder

[Yukariko]

You can have a previous clear check button if they also add a you can't quit button.
specifically for learning parties as I'm sick of running in those only for some elitist ass wipe who thinks it's a clear farm group to rage quit after 2-3 wipes.

back on topic
A previous clear button would be nice if only to remove the "show your loot/proof" mentality, I've cleared mog ex quite a few times, even farmed it but have had no luck with loot.

^^ same for me. I have beaten T6 7 times so far, T7 twice. Not a single item for my class or a random item nobody could need on. And to make it worse, I also can't link to Lodestone because I am on a PS4 and can't be arsed to type 80 characters to the chat lol. Most of the time I ask who is on a PC and ask if they can check out my achievements on Lodestone on their own. But it is kinda embarrassing. :P But all in all, I hate that kind of having to stalk people to make sure you get the group you look for. That's why I ask for a Game mechanics in Group Search. All that stalking nonsense would be gone with a heartbeat. And those akward moments when you see that Myth bonus coming up for somebody without a single clear in a farm party lol.

Surely it can't affect that many PF's though...?

Ive rarely used pf bit the few times i have. Lets just say at titan ex we had two people who constantly died 1 min into the fight Every try.

Been to three "going for the win" pf for titan ex and i have never got past heart phase.
Cause people who have never done the fight joins.
Soo I feel like im never gonna get the ex clear, but if they added tis option it wouldve been even harder cause then most ppl who have cleared it would just join the groups for that. And me and others stuck on some content will get all the bad players that says "i read a guide" and then dies instantly

Being a liar, no that isn't cool - .

Its not about "oh let's not deal with the noobs!!!" Why do people keep saying that. If you're making a party to farm Levi ex or t5 and someone who hasn't cleared joins pretending he has he just destroyed your entire plan. The sole reason you made the pt in the first place was to farm. You can't sit there and train people. What if you only had an hour or two to play. Have you ever tried to teach Levi or coil to someone from scratch? It takes time and practice. What's so difficult about making your own "learning pt" in the pf? That's how I learned everything ......

I actually know someone who snuck into a Levi Ex "farm" or experienced PF group the first week it was out but she's a good player and they one-shot it so the group (in the end) didn't mind.

Obviously, if she sucked and didn't perform well I believe that it would have ended differently.

To the idea that there are just some players who -do- know the fight but just need a group to do well at it... /tell the PF leader. PF lead is the one to make the call, as they should be. When that person is the one causing wipes, the leader took a risk and failed. Kick and look for replacements. If they do just fine, they got that clear and went about their business in continuing to farm as they -are- in fact a farmer.

Many weeks now, I've pretty much got T6 on farm. I'd like to only wipe 2-3 times (if at all) before the clear because I would rather get into oiling T7 down. It's easier to do that when you know for a fact that they've at least seen the fight 100%

PF for farms. Duty finder for "might get lucky and get a good group" farm. DF for training. The purpose of the DF is to help those that haven't cleared get grouped with others that haven't and those that have. It is there to group for content. If you want a guaranteed win WTH aren't you in PF? This is quite the long thread for something so...inconsequential.

PF use it, get a static, whatever and put up your own requirements, clear or no clear, no 100 myth bonus etc. Now, I can see this being ok for folks that can't get a static or play at odd hours that see no PF up, or don't wanna start one.

I don't know, this is a tit for tat type of conversation, both sides have merit and faults depending on the perspective.

[HeroSamson]

Well let me just fill you guys in you think that is causes statics when people get left behind and nobody helps? I don't think so.

What this does when too many people are getting ditched or don't get helped passed a point, SE has to make a decision to gimp the runs or unlock parts of the game because they do not want to lose their player base.
They do not care if you guys wanna keep the content hard, should of helped those people get passed and SE wouldn't even touch the content but that won't happen cause some just care about themselves.

these are the very same people who whine they gimp the content but that's cause they don't wanna help. mainly their faults in FFXI people helped even when they already beat content. here its no thanks done it.

[Eekiki]

OP's idea is bad.
