Put back Extreme trial on raid finder again...please

[bswpayton]

Same could be said to you. How you think that everything in RF is toxic, every veterans or "farmer" are perfectionist/elitist who are incapable of teaching and how not getting a bird mount before DF is beyond me. It is like you never really read through the point others .

I have done my content with friends are fc members or in pf groups where for the most part people are super cool and chill if it doesn't work out it just doesn't. But lets be honest here if a brand new level one player where to glance at the pf when it has 20 or more parties up how would they get the impression that as far as high level content they would be accepted. Anyone that knows how to read can clearly see the writing on the wall in the pf that basically says as far as we are concerned dont even que up for this content.

People are really over exaggerating the amount of learning parties that are up at any given time on average there are way less learning parties than there are farm parties. The very next day after zur came out it was already parties saying to know the fight , actually some the very same day. And the very same people on here that are sayin they want that filter back for two months are also claiming that people just want a carry.

I dont know about other people but I main tanks or healers and nobody is carrying me through any content. I personally dont even count unsync clears nor clears where I was dead at the end of the fight as a clear so I certainly am not looking for a carry this assumption i just wrong. So that very accusation that people just need these great amazing vet players to clear content or they are doom is the same attitude thats in the pf.

People just need slots to fill up doesn't matter if you are new are vet whatever people just need access to content, the way most of the people in here would have it is the only access someone who doesnt know a fight is to make a learning party and thats it. But yet they are totally fine with having the rf locked up and the party finder locked up for themselves but everyone else must have a single option. Well SE has spoken and just like the nerfed the raids, nerfed all kinds of things they also made these primals more accessible I didnt say made it easier to clear because Im sure that it didnt.

But at this point when everything has been in your favor then why get upset when now the content is open for everyone, we both no its not gona change just because this thread is here. So why not just get over it , its two months, I will be fully aware that all new raids and primal in sb will be going right into rf.

Im ok with that I dont wana get rid of rf even tho I prefer duty finder, but I know it has its purpose so if people can be ok with knowing if they are slow to learn they will be excluded . Then why cant the opposition be ok with content thats already been out there now being more accessible to the masses?

I have done my content with friends are fc members or in pf groups where for the most part people are super cool and chill if it doesn't work out it just doesn't.

Anyone that knows how to read can clearly see the writing on the wall in the pf that basically says as far as we are concerned dont even que up for this content.

I'll be completely honest: I used to look at the PFs that read "FARM PARTY NO BONUS" et cetera, and think: "Wow... how will I ever get clears when people don't want bonuses? Why don't they want bonuses?" And then, a friend of mine said that he would help me get clears for Ex primals, because I had watched his static in SephEx back when it was first released, and I wanted to try it. He tossed a PF up, just me and him, and 6 other people (5 of whom I didn't know, and 1 I asked if he would help me) joined, and helped me get clears. They were under no obligation to join and help; I didn't feel like they owed me anything. And none of the them were expecting anything out of it, really, except maybe bonus tomes and, if they're really lucky, a lucky roll on a whistle.

Now that I am on the other side, I can completely understand the "FARM PARTY NO BONUS" PFs. I understand them completely. Because now, I am a player who would like to farm content, and get the loot I want without having to worry about people that are uncertain when it comes to the fight. If I want to help, I do as others did for me, and join random PFs, not expecting anything, just there to help because, well, why not? I don't have much else to do, so why not help people. Pay it forward.

But those "FARM PARTY NO BONUS" aren't there for the sole reason of excluding new people based on some massive ego of World First raiders. They're there so that people can farm content smoothly, and get what they want without being expected to teach people.

People are really over exaggerating the amount of learning parties that are up at any given time on average there are way less learning parties than there are farm parties.

Okay, so I guess the pictures I posted--the screenshots I posted--of PF on my Data Center is just an exaggeration? No, it's not. That's just a normal weekday Party Finder on Aether. There's always all sorts of stuff in there, from farms to clears to learning to Wonderous Tails to static recruitments. On weekends, it's even more busy. I guess your Data Center must be different, but don't use it as a way to generalize the rest.

The very next day after zur came out it was already parties saying to know the fight , actually some the very same day.

Is there a time frame where people aren't allowed to post farm PFs for new content or something? Do we have to wait two months before we can? No. If people clear on Day 1 and want to start farming, they have every right to do so. Same thing if people want to farm 3 patches after the content is released. They have that right.

And the very same people on here that are sayin they want that filter back for two months are also claiming that people just want a carry.

Because every person in this game wants to work hard to achieve goals, and not have content nerfed/rewards handed to them so that they don't have to do anything more than press 1-2-3? There are several people that just want others to carry them. I've encountered them, and I'm sure the other posters, and probably you, have encountered them as well. Regardless of content. Whether or not you noticed, that's another question. But it's easy to spot lazy people in Ex primals and Savage.

I dont know about other people but I main tanks or healers and nobody is carrying me through any content. So that very accusation that people just need these great amazing vet players to clear content or they are doom is the same attitude thats in the pf.

I'm sure many people main different jobs across the entire Trinity. I main BRD. But I also enjoy AST, WHM, and DRK. I also like DoL and DoH classes. And people ARE SAYING IN THIS THREAD THAT IT IS THE JOB OF MENTORS AND VETERANS TO CATER TO NEW PLAYERS. There are several posts that say that. Perhaps not so directly, but they still mean the same thing.

People just need slots to fill up doesn't matter if you are new are vet whatever people just need access to content, the way most of the people in here would have it is the only access someone who doesnt know a fight is to make a learning party and thats it. But yet they are totally fine with having the rf locked up and the party finder locked up for themselves but everyone else must have a single option. Well SE has spoken and just like the nerfed the raids, nerfed all kinds of things they also made these primals more accessible I didnt say made it easier to clear because Im sure that it didnt.

People do have access to content. The only thing that bars them from it, aside from things like minimum required ilvl or class/job level, is themselves. If they sit there and think that the Raid Finder is "locked up" and that Party Finder is "locked up," and refuse to take initiative by making their own clear/learning party, or finding friends from their FC or LS to help, that is on them. Not raiders. Not bird farmers. Not the system.

And the entire concept of "nerfing" content is to make it easier because people think it's too hard. When really, most the time, they just want to be able to semi-AFK during the fight while they watch Netflix or whatever. There are extremely lazy people in this world, and those are usually the ones demanding nerfs for content that doesn't need it. Most content outside of Ex primals and Savage is laughably easy; it's disappointing. Any content that was challenging, people complained until the devs did something. A good example of this is the Demon Wall boss in Amdapor Keep. It used to have bees as a mechanic, that you had to kill, or else get final stung, while also dodging the simple floor AOEs. You know, just like you have to kill the bees in 'Sunken Temple or Neverreap before they Final Sting the tank while avoiding the pretty orange circles on the ground. But people complained until they removed the bees, because it was "too hard, and essentially made the boss a joke, for undergearred and overgearred players. Personally, I'd like to see the bees return.

But, we gotta satisfy those that don't want to put forth more than a teeny bit of effort, if any at all. The bees that were in Amdapor Keep are the same as the bees that spawn during the first boss in Sunken Temple. An extremely simple mechanic to deal with: kill bees, then go back to smacking the boss. And, the thing with Amdapor Keep, is most people recommended LB-ing the bees, or, if DPS was high, just burning the Demon Wall and ignoring them. But, nope. Too hard. Pls nerf.

But at this point when everything has been in your favor then why get upset when now the content is open for everyone, we both no its not gona change just because this thread is here. So why not just get over it , its two months, I will be fully aware that all new raids and primal in sb will be going right into rf. Im ok with that I dont wana get rid of rf even tho I prefer duty finder, but I know it has its purpose so if people can be ok with knowing if they are slow to learn they will be excluded . Then why cant the opposition be ok with content thats already been out there now being more accessible to the masses?

The content was always open. Just because it was in Raid Finder and not Duty Finder doesn't mean that the content was closed off or restricted. The only HARD requirements for queuing into said content would be: to be level 60 and meet the minimum ilvl. Other requirements don't have anything to deal with queuing into the content. Skill is what is required for clears. Patience is what is required for teaching. And determination is what is required for farms with terrible drop rates, and suffering your own terrible, single digit loot rolls.

People are advocating for a permanent change, for a permanent removal of Raid Finder, and the options to filter the player base. Because they're under some misconception that there's a great divide between new players/casuals and people that raid/farm primals, or that new people deserve to have the chance to clear, and Duty Finder is the solution. Yes, they deserve a chance to clear. But primal farmers deserve a chance to farm.

And the developers do read these forums, and do consider some of the things posted here. They deserve to hear the voices from both sides. You want to post your thoughts, well so do we. And that's why we keep responding. And if we're supposed to "get over it," why don't you also "get over" the fact that your views are skewed by negative personal experiences and broad generalizations, and in NO WAY reflect the MAJORITY of new players. You say that you don't think new people need to have their hands held or whatever, but you continue to post about how hard it was for you to do certain content, how hard it is for newbies to find opportunities to do content, and how "restricted" and "controlled" Party Finder/Raid Finder/Duty Finder is.

The only thing holding these people back are themselves. The only restrictions are the ones people place on themselves. Reading your comments, I feel like you're under the impression that new people look at PF and just throw their hands up in the air: "Woe is me! Look at these farm parties in PF! I don't see a single clear/learning party in here! What do I do?! I'm never going to get to clear this content! The devs need to make it more accessible by moving it from RF/PF to DF, because that makes everything better! That gives us, the new/casual player base control over this content, and takes it away from the raiders!"

Spoiler alert: neither group ever had any "control" over any of the Finders in this game.

Inb4 you say my views don't speak for the majority, I already know that, and I never said that they did.
