What ruined the fun for me

Sorry, didn't know about the limit bypass trick. First post.

The think is, this really harmed my experience in the end. I was trying to think of a way it would't happen to other people. My friends for example (who are a few levels behind me) i know will be just as mad as i was about this.

But anyway it's a relief to hear this won't happen to future dungeons.

Even on the smallest server, you can make a party finder, asking to do a main story run with no cutscene skipping (its an actual check box!) and find a party really quickly, especially if you have a newbie bonus.

That said, duty finder is a "majority rules" place, and if there is one newbie and 7 speedrunners, then "majority rules".

im sorry your experience was such, and there is a mechanic for avoiding this in the future, but if you go in through duty finder, unless you are queuing as both tanks and both healers, you are going to encounter this on these dungeons.

(im on jenova, which until 2 months ago was considered the smallest server in the game. I put up a party finder with a newbie bonus, and had a full party in under the time it took to use the bathroom.)

Really? That simple? All the people I see on the party finder are looking for endgame farming, so I never actually tried it. My fault I guess. Still, the duty finder should have this kind of option as well don't you think?

I don't know how different party finder is from duty finder, but I find that really strange. I normally wait more than 30 minutes when trying to find duties with my DPS (all languages selected)

that's because duty finder puts you at the bottom of the queue of all dps on the datacenter, to try and find them a group. Party finder is more of a manual form of duty finder, where you put yourself into a group and try to find party members yourself.

as an example, make a party finder for castrum, with story mode no cutscene skipping, then go to rev toll and "/shout castrum in PF, no cutscene skipping, newbie bonus available!"

you will have a full party within 5 mins. everyone wants a guaranteed newbie bonus, even if it means a guaranteed extra wait.
