We need actual matchmaking in Duty Finder.

Your attempt at harassment which you have conveniently deleted so as to dodge GM investigation is clear evidence that you know you have no grounds to stand on. Next time, I encourage you to understand the post properly before attempting to sow discord as you have done in this thread by attacking people and snipping their comments (which shows you didn't bother reading them at all). Everyone is telling you how you are wrong in this thread. We desperately need matchmaking in Duty Finder - it is good for both casuals and non-casuals. To deny this is to embrace casual-toxicity that we see too frequently on the forums.

I deleted it simply because the time isn't worth it, and it admittedly came across as condescending. I just highlighted that you seem to find it okay or justifiable to increase the variance in queue time for many players simply due to your lack of intolerance of people not meeting your standards, and have you forgotten or did you not know that there's a 3000 character limit on the forums, just as is the case with the majority of forums, Bro Jobs?

I'm not embracing casual toxicity and in fact, I'm quite against it, I think it's a team-oriented game, and I think you should be expected to at least try when you're entering in the duty finder the issue is that this is just such an asinine solution which doesn't address the underlying issue, and only applies a band-aid to it, which isn't really sufficient enough.

As I mentioned in a previous post they could job lock content quests to ensure people have done their job quests adequately enough prior to entering in the content of a new expansion, especially when they are an expansion behind where their job should otherwise be. Or you can incorporate appropriate guides at both beginner and intermediate levels so players can understand the game better, and I don't mean the cheap and poor excuse that is the "Hall of Novice", and you can see an above post as to why I don't think it's suitable even as a band-aid.

once you're in the rut of being on the 'bad' side, then it'll be very difficult to get out of when going in on a tank, or a healer. The less mitigation your tank does, the less opportunity you have to do damage as a healer since you're busy picking up that slack. Or the less damage your DPS do the longer a given pull goes on for you go closer to the inevitable wipe due to lack of CD availability, and then subsequent pulls just become all the more difficult. The more mistakes your DPS or tanks do the more vulnerability stacks they gain, and the more you're required to actually heal them instead of doing damage. Funny given the topic, but this is a team-oriented game, and the more your team works in harmony the easier it is to get through the content. The less harmoniously they work the harder it becomes, which is why splitting up matchmaking in this fashion just won't work, especially for the intended level/audience.

On the note, if you want to at least say I should be reading the posts, perhaps you should at least understand the 3000 character limit imposed on posts, or read yourself. Being averse to such an asinine feature is not advocating for casual toxicity, it just expresses my distaste for such a feature.

Not precisely on the thread topic, but... FWIW, the forums don't actually have this limit.

If you try to initially make a post, yes, it will limit you to 3000 characters. However, it does not impose any length limit on editing posts, at least not one that I've ever run up against (and I can get verbose). So if I'm going to get Very Talky, I tend to just make a post reading something like "...editing to appease the forum post-length gremlins..." and then immediately edit it, pasting in the much-longer post and submitting.

I know you can go back and edit the post, just much prefer to quote it, snip the post down, then just write the essay. Really just 2 different approaches to bypassing the same issue.

An increase in variance would mean that you can get exceptionally low queue times as frequently as longer queue times. It does not change the average. Maybe you would've known this if you supported the enlightened idea of matchmaking like every sophisticated gentleman.

Also, did you know you can bypass the 3000 character limit by just editing? Like in many forums? Maybe you would've known this if you saw the light in matchmaking instead of wallowing in heresy.

Trolling doesn't work so well when you try too hard at it, Bro Jobs.

Ironic given your replies after replies and your need to even go over the 3000 character limit. And you're clearly upset given your need to critique my infallible and perfect argument in various Discord servers. As usual, this is too easy much like the rest of FF14.
