Block first timers from Party Finder!

Hmm.... Not so sure about this idea. As useful as it is, it'd lower a new player's confidence most likely resulting in less active/subcribing players looking for those to party with (Friends blah blah irrelevant). FF14 is good at making new players feel welcomed (not sure for veteran players) so to add this mode would deviate from that reputation and maybe draw in a different player base entirely.

Why? The only people it effects are those who lie about having the clear. The PF groups are set up by players, if players want to only open their group to people who have cleared content that is their choice, it already happens, the only thing this feature would change is that you don't suddenly fill your party, go into a dungeon and get the random tomestone bonus message and spend 10 minutes asking who lied and said they had the clear when they didn't for the group to ultimately disband because no one will admit it.

Clear groups are in PF, farm groups are PF. That's how it has always worked. We're simply talking about adding an option for more control over your PF group to save you from people who aren't honest, I've had farm groups before where someone has PM'd me and said hey look I don't have the clear but I have gotten to x%, if they are honest and upfront about it, I'll might say sure I'll give you a shot.

No it doesn't. New plauers can and should use the pf to form their own parties. Party finder it meant to be exclusive. It is for people to set up a party with rules that people should follow.

The party finder system needs more customization because its pretty bare. Unlke past mmo party finder works the opposite players look at party finder and join a party where as past mmo the leaders actively look and recruited. Due to this ppl ninja join and don't communicate outside a hello.

Nothing wrong with more options to for,m the partys they want.

to others
just fyi trolling is infact against the forum ToS. And you can be reported on being off topic, fighting, being problematic in posting.

Also,party finder is meant to be exclusionary, on what the leader expects and wants.

Party Finder is a tool to find players with the same goal - if you're new, you shouldn't even be needing, or wanting, to join a farm party.

Clear and learning parties can still be joined and formed. New players are welcome to those and always will be, but farm parties are not the place for that.
