[kuma_aus]

i made the friendliest pf ever tbh "thordan learning all are welcome. dont expect clear". i made ilvl setup i190 which is the bare minimum. one or two popped in, waited 10-15 min and see that noone else coming and left. rinse and repeat

It's going to be very hard to make a full party in 15 minutes unless it's peak time. And knowing how NA people act, even on peak time it will be hard to get full in 15 minutes. On off-peak times (When people are at work and school) I often wait 2 hours (2 PF recruitments) before my party fills up. If you really want to do the content, I don't think 2 hours is that much really especially if you have stuff like cooking/cleaning you can do while you afk wait.

Use the full 60 minutes to recruit people. The longer you recruit, the more your message goes to the top so it's easier to find. After 30 minutes or so, your message will become one of the top ones that people see as soon as they open up Party Finder.

Also the fastest way to get people to join your Party Finder is to already have people in the party. People are more often going to join a party that needs 4-5 people than one that needs 7 people. Getting 2-3 friends to join you helps a lot I find. If these friends have cleared the content, add that in your message. "Thordan EX beginning learning party. First timers welcome. 2 people who have already cleared are helping". This sounds a bit weird since I'm used to typing this all in Japanese but try writing something that sounds natural.

Also shout is a great tool as well. After 15 minutes or so, every 7-10 minutes I go to every popular zone and just shout what I'm PFing. "Sorry for the shout. Recruiting for Thordan EX in Party Finder. Practice party from the very begining, first timers are welcome. Need 1 Tank, 2 Healer, 2 DPS. 2 people who have cleared already are helping." Something like this. Again I normally type this in Japanese so it might sound a bit weird.

Your English is actually better than a lot of native speakers I've seen so don't worry. :3

The only real difference is the phrasing. Yours is a bit more... proper, I guess?

I don't think 2 hours is that much[...]

For the majority of players this represents probably about 2/3rds if not all of their play time.

Also, a lot of your post seems to assume you have access to some individuals already. For those of us on right about now, that's a bit harder to manage.

Why would you want this? lol.

Click "party finder" and make your own learning group, OP. Seriously, it's not hard. You just might be waiting like 30 minutes, but that's really a small price to pay over not doing it at all.

OP does address that: Learning PFs don't tend to fill so fast, especially if you're playing right around now.

why not?
DFs usually fills out faster than PFs.
DF has a bigger pool of player to choose from.
quality of DF players highly depends on your data center.
everything has its pros and cons.

and it doesn't bother anyone who uses PF, except maybe the number of people joining it xD

[Arashmin]

And I'd bet a positive upswing in PF if it means people can actually experience phases,

[Chiramu]

Even it's on duty finder, people can't clear it swiftly because... You know, duty finder people?

I even get so many bad DPS when running Ravana for WHM cane and totally lucky on some duty finder that have best DPS.

The only thing DF has trouble with in EX primals is Ramuh EX. Thordan EX will not be as hard for DF to clear as Ramuh imo, so it should be easier for people to clear in DF.

Wait, you waited 10-15mins and PF "don't expect clear"?

I'm more concerned that you waited ONLY 10-15 mins. They didn't build Rome in a day you know...

How to PF:

1.) Make the PF. Specify that you're a learning party and that you don't require any experience. There are a lot of PFs that look for specific phase progression and you want to make sure everyone understands you've never seen the fight before (most who are only a bit into the fight are willing to teach the first phase as it's pretty cut and dry).

2.) Ask friends to join, ask people in your FC to join, ask in linkshells, shout in city states/Idyllshire. It's not enough to just put up a PF and wait for the magic to happen (sometimes this can work, a lot of time people just don't check the PF), so make sure that everyone knows your party actually exists.

3.) If someone joins, make sure they feel welcome, and see if anyone they know is willing to help or needs to learn the fight themselves. This can lead to your party filling even quicker and it's generally a good idea.

4.) Once your party has filled, head on in.
