    I'll devil's advocate this a bit, if/when I'm in a position like that for a fight I'd ask to join a farm party. Titan EX specifically I spent about 20 hours game time being consistently last man standing without any errors in mechanics and probably top or near top in dps, before I got my first win.

    Even in that situation though I'm still for OP's suggestion; that's what the "send tell" option in PF is for. And if someone would want to deny me joining their party with that kind of a track record I'd be annoyed at it but whatever; I know some people have been burned by people saying things like "oh I've gotten it to 1%" "I'm always last man standing" "I'd get the win if I had 7 other good people" etc and it's just not the truth.

    And some fights the hardest parts are far from the end, but again without proof I've gotten past those hard parts it's a matter of someone believing me when I can't prove what I say. And you should never demand strangers to believe you're as good as you say you are, let alone try to trick them into believing it.

    Didn't read any further than that, because you're already not the person targeted by this idea. People asking to join because they know the fight and people trying to sneak in while keeping quiet when the questions being as to who hasn't beaten it is very different. In most cases when receiving a tell like that, the leader would more likely than not let you join. As you've effectively already put the pressure on yourself, you've been upfront and said you haven't beaten it yet, but you're capable, so it would become very apparent very soon as to whether that was true or not.

    Having the previous clear option ticked would stop you from sneaking in, but wouldn't stop you from asking, which would put it down to the party leader's discretion, exactly as it is now.

    Furthermore I won't be commenting anymore as NyurkoW is now flagging my posts that he disagrees with as abuse, and proving his baseless opinions wrong isn't worth getting banned over.

    No one here agrees with you, and that is for a reason, because you are wrong. Unfortunately SE will never implement the system suggested here, as too many people like you would boohoo about it on the forums. But the 100 myth will remain, and as long as it does, your free carries are a thing of the past.

    Enjoy your game

    Like me? Have you read my other posts? I'm all for this idea. I wish I'd come up with it. Like I said, all I was doing was playing devil's advocate on one small point where someone said/implied that if you only got a fight to 1% you weren't as experienced as someone with a win.

    This is where I'm at with Titan EX right now. I've been to single digits several times now, the lowest being 1%. I've seen everything that fight has to offer. I just haven't managed to be in a party that stays together long enough to clear it. The run we got it to 1%, a healer ragequit after the wipe. Seriously, quitting when you just got it to 1%? But yeah, at no time did I join farm parties whether it be sneaking in or asking for a carry. After a few false starts in learning parties as a tank (which I found extremely stressful and not fun in the least), I've done learning parties as a DPS and have gradually moved up to clear parties. Usually I go with a friend, and he puts in the party description that there is a myth bonus so people know up front and don't completely freak out on us. Often times I end up as the last man standing but unfortunately Titan punches much harder than I do. ;w;

    Perhaps once I've actually cleared it I'll feel more comfortable with poking at it again as a tank.

    Honestly, at times I wish there *was* a tickbox for "previous clears only". I can't tell you how many times we've gone to do a T5 or Levi EX farm and gotten inside to see a myth bonus. Usually the person with the bonus doesn't fess up until everyone else starts linking items or until we start tossing around the idea of kicking the people that we don't know. Then they protest that they know the entire fight, etc; usually it ends up not being true. Sorry, but wiping us repeatedly at the second set of divebombs does not = knowing the fight. If this was implemented, you could always PM the party owner if you have been to single digits and are confident in your ability to clear.
