I don't see what the problem is here. People who can farm trials don't want to play with people who haven't cleared the trial. I think that's fair - it'd mean potentially wasting seven other people's time because one person has questionable skill or knowledge of the fight in question.

On the other hand, PF learning parties definitely work, and they don't just magically disappear from existence a few hours after a fight is released. It was only recently that I cleared Thordan EX and Zurvan EX, but the learning and clear parties that I created filled up within minutes.

Long-term, I would like to see a merge of the RF functionality into DF so that everything is in one place. There are so many people wondering how to even queue for the things that used to be in the RF because they don't know it exists.
