It hasn't even been a full day

I never understood these kind of threads, do you feel like someone asking for experience hinders your ability to set up your own learning party?

Yes, it does actually hinder it to an extent, players new to the content will feel overwhelmed to the content they want to run, because they will only find parties asking for people who have cleared or have it down on farm, happened to me and the majority of the playerbase whenever new hardcore content gets released. I know quite a few people who didn't get to do Sephirot EX until it was open to the Duty Finder because even on the first week, they could only find PF parties asking for people who have it down to farm. It gives the idea that everyone should know what is what by day one and that's just not healthy to the general masses.

The 3.3 patch helps tho now. With the practice options. At this point in time i think its a solved problem unless people just want to get carried >.>

I am one of those...couldnt join any groups for Seph, same for Thord Ex. So yes is right PF you can dowhat you want but is true too content should be open right awayin DF as wll. One doesnt exclude the other Not sure why is gated behind a lock in DF.

What's stopping you from hosting your own party? You don't have to depend on people who want to farm if you want to learn.

IT'S FORBIDDEN TO FARM CONTENTS WHEN I STILL HAVEN'T CLEAR IT ! HOW DARE YOU MAKE A PF TO FARM. GET YOUR ASSES OVER HERE AND CARRY ME! NOW ! ALL 7 OF YOU!

On a serious note, I also fail to understand why cleared people can't make farm parties. It almost feels like OP want everyone in his server cater to his need.
