Block first timers from Party Finder!

Ok, I guess the title got to me. I've kinda wondered about preventing this in certain runs, but didn't want to be rude to people in game. I'm sorry to the OP.

It's pretty common in the thread lol. The title is really misleading...

I know the OP petitioned to have it changed but no dice.

Okay, firstly, why are you bumping this thread without meaningful input? Can we not leave it go the way of all other poorly thought out ideas?

I just want to point this out for future reference.

There is nothing wrong with bumping a thread which is a few days apart and it's off the first page. Especially if it's something people would like to see addressed and hopefully further discussed.

As for no input bit, I already shared my input. It's a few pages back, if you're curious to know what my stance is. If there is nothing more to add, bumping the thread can help give more insight from new people. Thus, more discussion.

No hard feelings, though.

Although, the moderators do ask it's users to refrain from "bumping" a thread, just for the sake of "bumping" it.

Welcome to Forum: General Discussion!
The purpose of this forum is for players to discuss various topics on FINAL FANTASY XIV with other players.

Please take time to read the following rules and the FINAL FANTASY XIV Forum Guidelines(North America/UK) before you post or start a discussion.

General Forum Rules:

• snip
• Please use the search function placed at the top of the forum to see if your questions have already been answered. If there happens to be a thread with similar topics, please divert your questions to that particular thread.
• Please do not make a simple post just for the purpose of "bumping" a thread.

It's ok if you want to keep the thread relevant, but you can best do so by adding more info to it. Not by just "Bump /10char" it or something similar. It doesn't really matter if the thread is not on the first page. If people have something to add to it, they can also use the search function (which is also advised by the moderators).

I always find it funny when people complain about bumping.

Not only are they bumping - they're also off topic. A massive double fail of sorts.

...

Thinking on this I do hope this gets added. I have too many people who try to sneak into a1s weekly clears - or even worst, leading them after I boot them for not knowing the fight demanding everyone else knows the fight. While I don't think this makes the majority, it does prove that there are players with this fundamental deficiency that want to try and sneak a carry.

[Akariel]

I agree with this. Had someone sneak into our A2 weekly clear party before. It's pretty hard to fill up a PF for savage, and then when the party gets in and the bonus pops up... . Waiting around 1hr in PF and then having the decent people rage quit because of 1 player is not fun.

[Mychael]

I agree with the concept behind this, but I'm not sure that clearing a fight says anything about your skill or understanding of it. All those people that were carried through previously would still qualify for your farm group.

I hate to say it, but the only way you're going to guarantee experience is by actually knowing the people.

Well obviously previous clears would get by. This is far from the end of the game though. The sooner this is introduced the better its effectivness.

[Sapphic]

Oh yes, an "option", that every farm party will be expected to have.

If certain players respected the requirements others set in party finder there would not be anyone asking for this option.

Tell players if they don't want new players in there party to not use DF and set up a PF party. Yet when they set up a PF party asking for experienced players they are getting new players joining without asking or saying anything.

And you don't think the problems stem from those lieing, as that is what they are doing when they join a PF party asking for requirements that they do not meet. Blame those who have caused others to require this option, not those asking for it.

And bad players will continue to join open groups, whether they've cleared or not. New ≠ Bad, Experienced ≠ Good.
