We have party finder filters and to be honest, being on Balmung, its always full of entries. Its not that bad at all to sort through them all. Nobody has the right or deserves to be in my party simply because they pay a sub and want to do the content. They do have the right to make their own party. The only ones getting in mine are people who know the fight to the same degree I do.
I'm not disagreeing, actually. And I understand the desire to get a party of individuals on the same level of ability or experience as you. Settling for less is just inviting liability and potential weakness into your party, and while that might sound a little impersonal, it's not. Whether built over time or assembled on short notice, we all want a capable team. . . Playing devil's advocate for a moment, let's not forget that as of 2 weeks ago, we were all brand new again. Make your parties as you will, but remember you can easily be on the other side of the coin at any given time.
