Block first timers from Party Finder!

Considering JP uses PF for learning and DF for farming, this will never happen.

And what about the rest of the player base? I'm wanting an option, not a change. They can still use it for learning.

You must not have much experience with many JP game companies if you think the rest of the player base matters.

As I said.. Nothing is stopping them from using the party finder for whatever reason they want to.

I would love to have an option to see what other players have cleared or not cleared. I'm never against helping new players clear content, I am however against liars trying to find an easy clear.

An example I have would be a time I saw an unsyched Garuda farm posted on the PF. Well, I'd like a pony and an FC mate of mine did to so we went along. Well, they qued up for Ifrit Ex instead and the "New player" message popped up. "No biggie" I thought. "One of them must've not gotten a clear yet, so friends are helping" I thought.
I was never so wrong before in my life
Everyone besides me and my FC mate where new, no one did any research what so ever, the other healer (FC mate was white mage) kept blowing people up, other tank wouldn't swap (Yea, I know unsynched, I like giving healers an easier load anyways) DPS falling like flys, not killing nails, etc. ANYTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG WENT WRONG

In the end on the last run we were about to quit, we somehow beat it. 6 new players we left after giving them their clears. No pony btw.

Anyway, the point is if your PFing hard content just remember this.

You need to stop complaining here. You play with a community of players, you have to learn about people and know their names. I understand where you come from when you want quick run but the problem is there are quick runs all the time and at some point these new players grow frustrated and want to participate in the content. Leading them to join into pre made group. This is frustrating but it is also the community fault for having this happening.

I disagree to the suggestion you do. There should be no option to block first time from doing an activity in the game. If anything set your ilevel higher. And then people will think you just want to be carried or will just go and think it'll be fast and easy like you would be thinking.

And no, I am not astonishing on you. But these kind of threads is what I consider "Elitist" and "anti-community" and it is a mindset that I grow annoyed to see in MMO RPGs.

Does not exist, you should know that ^^"

Can't really argue there :P

Its an entirely different culture in JP/Asia as they actually make a conscious effort to be good at content rather than just get carried through it. I would love to use DF for farming due to quick queue times but unfortunately the lack of community and increase in "selfish-tendencies" forces people who are new to practice in DF and farmers to farm in PF/statics. I agree with the OP entirely as his idea doesn't filter out new players just liars.
