Block first timers from Party Finder!

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

?_?
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.

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

Yeah, option. As in you aren't forced to do it. People that want to make clear parties can still make clear parties.

The thing is, the players this affects are already unwelcome. People wanting to make clear parties can still do so. People wanting to join without a clear but knowing the fight because they've been to 5% can PM the party leader just like they can now. People that ninja into farms already end up getting kicked, possibly ending up on peoples' blacklists for joining a farm when they don't know the fight. What this suggestion would avoid is the waste of time and the sheer number of parties that just plain fall apart because of the unnecessary drama of someone that wants a carry deciding they're gonna jump in and play "let's pretend I know what's going on here."

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.

If that's your understanding, you clearly haven't read most of the thread.

1) you just read the title

2) PARTY finder GROUPS are not to be all inclusive, they are for A PLAYER to find LIKE MINDED players to do LIKE MINDED content.

why are you coming off like PF needs to work like DF?

If you sneak your way into a farm party you are breaking an agreement to farm, if your their for a clear which can ve reportable under the player agreement, and disruption of gameplay.

As a clear seeker you are breaking the agreement to farm by not being there to farm You are disrupting the game play of others by leaving after said clear.
