    You see, that is something that I don't understand.

    Let's say that we would get some kind of junk implemented that would separate mlg wannabes from the rest of the community. Shouldn't both sides be happy then?

    I would think your usual player who does not care about performance would love an option to not play with the mlg wannabes.

    The main reason why the Party Finder is not working for the harder content and so many groups disband after few wipes is caused by the players who ignore the comments.

    Getting to the phase XYZ once does not mean you are ready to join parties to do XYZ.

    Parties should spend most of the time doing the phase that is written in the comment not trying to get there.

    We have DF and we have PF, we have a method for non-douchébag skilled players but also douchébag elitists to limit their interactions with the people they might view as a lower form of life, the people they might view as something that they want to scrape off the bottom of their shoe. SE have also come up with the option to block new players from PF if tick the relevant achievement box when set up the party in PF. We do not need this additional vindictive and negative grading system which further segregates the community plus also punishes the casuals you hate so much on top of the tools you have already been given to segregate yourself from the majority of this community.

    Grading system itself is not vindictive nor negative. Since the beginning games counted score to show you how well you do.

    I am rather not going to talk about Ragnarok's PF. You can check it out for yourself how much players care about the community and following the PF objectives... cold hearted machine can better judge players than the players can judge themselves.

    How would this system punish casuals? By matching them up with other casuals? Idk if I understand it correctly. Is being matched with casuals a punishment?

    My bet is that most of the players who want the player skill to increase are more worried about players who "pay their sub" and watch Netflix rather than cooperative casuals.
