Please add clearance condition to Group Finder

Need to add a "watched 3 YouTube videos" "did not get carried" and a "Is not drunk/tired/waiting for pizza" button as well.

... So how about we just compromise and make joining a party that you -know- you don't fulfill the conditions for an actionable offense? That avoids the problem of potential playerbase segregation and also gives those tired of dealing with scrubs looking to leech off of the people who put in time and effort a weapon to deal with them.

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.

Heh, I have to admit to doing something similar actually. I'd already had a good chunk of experience with Levi EX, as the off-tank even, but hadn't been -quite- able to get him down, saw a farm party up, decided, "I feel confident enough I can clear it with these guys, and if it works out and I get my clear I'll gladly stay with them and continue farming." Lo and behold, we handled things pretty well. We only managed a run or two tho because some people had to leave.

Not sure how you get to that. Those 7 players have put in time learning it. It's the one joining and hasn't that think his time is worth more, since he can't be bothered with spending time in learning mode.

this would be a valid statement if "learning mode" exists.

back in the day so many Titan EX learning PTs, none of them even gets to heart phase. only way for anyone who hasn't cleared to learn is to join clear/farm PTs.

until that changes, you can't blame people for not spending enough time learning when the education system in place is an utter and complete failure.

I kind of have to agree with the OP on this one. The Party Finder is used to form a team of like-minded people in order to tackle content whether it be a primal farming group, or a first room exp farm, or even a learning party.

I don't see why they shouldn't consider implementing this. The PF leader decides the specifications of the group when he makes the PF. Exceptions can be made by said leader if a person who wishes to join but does not meet the requirements simply asks for an exception. If a player who knows that he has the capability to do it, then he shouldn't be afraid to ask. It's not that hard to grasp.

If they do implement this, I hope to see more learning PF groups in the future. Lots of people I know don't take that initiative to start up their own learning party. So I think this may force these players to start acting instead of lazing.

Sounds pretty convenient for you, now that you've already had your "first time" and have had your chance to learn the mechanics. How do you expect newer players to ever get into these dungeons, if experienced players are blocking them from joining?

Duty Finder is an automatic grouping tool that joins you with random players. As in, you may get highly skilled people, or newbies, or anything in between. It is not the place to make demands. If you have specific conditions you need met, then form a group manually. Square Enix would never implement your idea in a million years. It is essentially saying "We don't want new players anymore. If you aren't already a veteran by now, please unsubscribe."

Pretty sure OP is talking about Party Finder, not Duty Finder.

It's a useless flag because having cleared a content once doesn't mean having the ability to do it regularly.

If something like this was implemented it would become the norm, it would end up really bad.

Well if everyone respected the requirements players put up in Party Finder this kind of option wouldn't need to be asked for in the first place. Putting up the requirement that must have kill experience should guarantee you don't get first timers, but players with actual kill experience as stated.

Thing is, that doesn't pan out too well so many times that players are getting frustrated with others lieing trying to get a free carry. Don't blame the players asking for this option, blame the selfish lieing players that join partys they shouldn't and spoil it for the rest.
