Players Who Don't pull their weight.

[Waterdeep]

It is not nice to label the whole player base "trash". Not to mention that you have to follow your own rules otherwise you would be "trash" as well. There is a difference between wanting players to contribute and the points you mentioned.

I am not labelling the whole playerbase as trash. I am labelling you as trash. Right now, right here, in that ludicrous example I have given, you are trash. Op clearly stated that he didn't want to 'carry' people and that he wants them to preform at the same level that he does: 110%. And that is fair. But you have to accept the fact that the implcation is still there: You are not preforming, you are trash, into the trash DF queue you go. And yes, of course you could phrase it much nicer: Normal and hardcore, or normal and expert queue. Still no one, not even OP would fulfill the dumb things I listed, despite all these things being valid and contributing to a faster run. As soon as someone fulfills that list everyone else needs to keep up or shut up. That is how such a system needs to work otherwise it would defeat the point.

The funny thing about your post is that you actually wrote the most important piece in small letters. Having an option to surround yourself with likeminded people inside of DF is something that is missing.

But it clearly is not. You just want to arbitrary rating system to make yourself feel better. If you really wanted to have a better experience you'd become active yourself and search for those people. It is not SE's duty to make sure your checklist is checked in the SF experience. The DF trades the convinience of having to look for people yourself against the chance of having to play with people who might or might not play well. This whole thread is so bizzar to me, considering the DF experience in XIV has been so much more agreeable than in other online games.

Also, I am still assuming you people talk about Expert Roulette and things like this. Yes, in Savage and Ex primals there should be certain standarts.. and guess what, people actually use the party finder for that.
