Please Add no bonus option for PF

This option is a waste of time.

Yes, it's possible for a newcomer to not know the fight and screw up.
But even with this option it's still possible for a carried-clearer to enter and screw up your fight anyway (and they are more prevalent, if you've ever done these fights before.)

The amount of anguish this option would solve is insignificant.

The solution to this problem (grouping with unknowns without knowing their skill level), is for the starter of the PF to form a static.

That's what statics are for.

This option is not what PF is for.

Yes, you are allowed to have a goal of clearing content with similarly skilled people and ignore everyone else on the server.

But the only reasonable path to that goal is a static. Every other suggestion like this does not make that path easier, it makes it harder (you're meeting less new people who could be a great addition to your static).

It's a waste of development time.

Are you saying that because the solution can't fix all problems its not worth putting in?

No.
I'm saying that an solution that doesn't make a significant impact and also causing detrimental side-effects is not worth putting in.

Dishonest carried-people will still get in.
People who are better than you will be blocked.

It's a bad solution.
