SE what is up with these bogus raid loot rules?

[Snow_Princess]

Well RF, now known as High-end Duty DF, does have these warnings. It tells you what each option does and what happens if something is askew.
Everything bswpayton was complaining about is explained in the DF little help area.

Yes there is some stuff explained there but it makes no sense. It is hard to understand something with no logical backing.

1. It does not explain what duty complete means, why am I selecting this?
2. It does not explain what duty incomplete means, why am I slecting this?
What does ^ have to do with loot?
Why am I selecting first phase and final phase?

Basically it has unnecessary complexity and people pick some 320 penta melding over 340's anyway, they make it sound they need state rules for the Olympics or something, completely unnecessary for a game like this.

One of the mods said you can que in raidfinder for "duty completion", it will only allow people who have not received the weekly reward to que. Does skipping a floor and getting logged as reward received bypass this or something? If so that might be a bug. I've never skipped a floor so I don't know the details.

Remember people on the forums are minority.

It doesn't? Not everything in the DF info panel is related to loot. And the first point is clearly explained in the info panel: "*The "Duty Complete" option is only available for previously completed duties." IE: You need to have cleared a duty before you can select that option. Selecting this option will make it so the DF will only throw you into a group with people that no longer have their first time bonus. Point 2 is the exact opposite, and shouldn't really need to be explained, since the explanation for point 1 indirectly does that.

Or another simple way, if you can't select the Duty Complete matching requirement, you obviously don't meet the requirement.

Why am I selecting first phase and final phase?

To indicate which part a player wants to practice, with the DF picking players that have picked the same option.

Basically it has unnecessary complexity and people pick 320 penta melding over 340's anyway, they make it sound they need state rules for the Olympics or something, completely unnecessary for a game like this.

I don't see how complex, it's pretty easy to understand by just reading the info panel. And only tanks will pick i320 accessories over i340 ones.
