    I understand your point, it would be more desirable for anyone who wants to clear anything to weed out the less experienced, but looking at the bigger picture it does no good for the game, a month or two after content is released you would hardly ever see parties without this clear requirement on.

    If people are being somewhat forced to help out the less experienced (not carry, not all newbies are baddies) then so be it, it's better than a situation where people are more excluded than they are atm.

    You do know that peoople wanting to learn can form their own PF parties, they don't have to rely on someone else making one to their requirements. Forcing people to do things has a higher negative effect than otherwise.

    So, you think it's fine that random new person joins a kill party and messes it up for the other 7? Even though requirements were for a certain level of experience?

    When content is new, I join as a pre-made party of those who havn't touched it yet, usually from FC, and we figure it out together, I don't join a PF party that has cleared and expect to be instructed.

    True, implementing this may cause a fluctuation of PFs that require a clear. This is an undenyable possibility that may occur. However, looking at the current situation, wouldn't you say that it is more hostile?

    If people who have no experience with the fight joins a farm group, so say Titan Ex, wouldn't they just end up being dead weight causing the remaining members to lash out and act hostile against these players? If they can't enter the party in the first place, hostility is averted.

    Like i said before, I know a lot of people who don't take that initiative to start up their own learning party. So by forcing these players to start acting instead of lazing, more learning parties may show up on the radar.

    Month or two? try a day or two. I counted 12 hours after ST was released before people started raging at new people. 12 hours. If this is put into the game I can expect the same from PF.
