Block first timers from Party Finder!

I believe the point of this thread is that the OP wants filthy casuals who don't have clears out of her farming party

Read the thread and then make your conclusion is their point. What the OP actually wants is for people to stop lying and trying to get cleared through content that they didn't earn the clear for. It's not filthy elitist and people who don't have clears aren't filthy casuals.

Also, the option that OP is suggesting is an *option*. Not mandatory "People who've never cleared can not use pf at all" like you would think from just reading the title; just another box to tick in the pf when making one.

Fixed for you.

Farm = experienced people who are able to clear easily and know the fight 100%

Kill = newbies with previous experience of mechanics or people with low amount of kills who still need to learn mechanics until fully understood

Practice: complete new people, experienced people who wish to help, or as specified in the pf training for certain phases.

What some people see, FARM aka free clear.

not that I'm going to read 41 pages but the general idea I'm getting is

Yeah, you're getting the wrong idea. Maybe you should go back and read some of the other posts. The first one, at the very least.

and i am against the OP's idea since it is so dead against the community

The only part of the community this is against is the part that sneaks into farming parties to ninja clears.

I for one couldn't care less if people are "filthy casuals" or not, as long as they know the fight they're signing up for.

OPTION!!!, what a joke. the moment this is implemented i'll open up PF and about 99% of the parties will have this ticked

the problem is a double edged sword

the reason the people lie and cheat there way into farming parties (not that i would condone this behavior) is

1) people want to be carried
2) people are too frustrated with DF because some "hardcore gamer" didn't get there pony/weapon in 1 try and abandons the party leaving the rest of the party with a 40 min wait

if the OP could come up with a suggestion that benefits both parties then i would be all for it

[Mikhaill]

The only way this would work is if they added a thingy where it shows that so and so had cleared x content and/or how many times they have cleared it I guess.
Right now, you're rolling the die and hoping so and so cleared it and are being honest of the clears.
I think I'm understanding this right because we're talking about PARTY FINDER OPTIONS, right?
I dunno anymore since everyone's saying different things on these pages lol.
Options are always good so I don't see the problem here.

I do, having an option that locks out 90% of the player base to benefit 10% of the player base

I have to ask what is wrong with this? If you start your own PF group you set your own rules. So if somebody does not want first timers, then first timers should not force their way in. Everyone can start their own PF group with their own rules and it is only logical that the first timers should join learning parties.

The way our community supports cheating and carrying is mind-blowing.

?_?
It doesn't lock out anyone. People are sick and tired of liars
not knowing how to run stuff. You have your choice to make a more casual way of clearing content.
You also should get friends/FC to help. This is coming from someone who has never touched PF
and did 99% in DF [I did T5 with a FC and will not touch the 2 next Primal's unless in DF due to time constraints and such.]
So if people make rules you don't like, then make your own group.
I don't understand why that's a hard concept to people not tryna be mean lol.

My understanding is that it's less that, more: "Get these filthy casuals out of the game! No screw ups, ever" but I can't say I see this option having any effect either way. People that paid for their clear will still get into farm parties and screw up.
