The constant disbanding of Steps of Faith

[Gralna]

I am surprised, honestly, at how few people use or even think about party finder. It seems to be easily forgotten and wait times can be a drag, but you need to think of the big picture and total time spend when it comes to df vs. pf.

Dunno about other servers, but I rarely check PF, since 90% of it tends to be either advertisements, veiled carries (no scrubs, 1 death = kick), or farm groups. Few times I've tried to make clear parties for storyline duties, I ended up timing out.

You can shout for it as well, and then go in via Duty Finder with a partially formed group. As long as your canoneers and tower person are designated in the pre formed group and know what they're doing, you can explain to the pickups their roles.

I do this anyway in DF, difference is I don't waste an hour waiting for PF to fill up. As I said before, never had a problem with SoF, I explain mechanics in detail while waiting for replacements for people who drop

You could technically /sh for pts but in a game with things like party finder this gets you blisted often. I know if I am doing something in a zone and someone is /sh for pts, unless there are considerable gaps in the /sh (3+ mins usually) I will blist them, even if its only temporarily. I get enough spam in my text box from rmt, ppl trolling in /sh, emotes, and ppl who wanna chat in /s instead of /t that I often use blist as a filter since toggling between shutting off and turning on shouts or says and such isn't efficient. And frankly pf is there so you don't have to /sh for hours like we had to in xi. Refusing to use such a handy dandy tool is really just shooting yourself in the foot.

I check and use pf often and have never timed out.
