People can you please at least watch a video on the Primals before joining a party . If there is no PF group and even then sometimes people will join and you are DPS in a DF and you have been in a Que for 45 mins and you finally get Ultima HM to pop do us a favor and watch the video on the fight before you join. So often even in PF , people join the fight is up were in and someone is like 1st time here . ok...... Did you watch the video or read about the fight ? ............ no is it hard ?............your a tank and you have not watched the video ......? .........Nope......Wow.......were dead ....... then the healer leaves before we even start .....thanks for wasting mine and everyone else time .

So please take 5 mins out of your day watch a video here ill show you how to do it

Not everyone wants to ruin the experience of finding out strategies themselves. If you want a full party of pros, make a premade and say exp only in your PF thing.

you're playing a video game how can someone waste your time when you're already doing that?

Or SE can fix the god damn problem they seem to have with Verizon.

People need to stop expecting guaranteed wins through the Duty Finder just like they need to stop expecting speedruns through it.

Always assume you're going to have to explain the fight when you're in the Duty Finder, and don't be a jerk about having to do so either. Remember, you're helping someone who very well might end up helping others as well.

Pay it forward, as it were.

A little research before "some" fights wouldn't hurt...but in my experience people learn more actually DOING a fight even if they did watch a vid on it. Most people walk away from it with some knowledge of what to do even if they didn't succeed, and the bittersweet victory if they did after a few wipes if they pick up on things fast. All of that said, your frustration is at the very least somewhat justified. The biggest problem though is the lack of patience that people have for those learning what they need to do.

easy wasting time when your having fun is good, when someone stops you from having fun its bad.

I don't mind players not knowing the fight but I hate when they expect other players to explain everything to them. It's just being lazy. If they really wanted to prepare for the fight the internet is a much better source. If not just go in blind, trial and error. Then again they will probably be a liability if you don't explain it to them. GRRRRR

still doesn't change the fact its all a waste to begin with.

I find it funny when players think they have some kind of authority in Duty Finder. If you want to play with only experienced players or only players who have watched a video then make your own party in Party Finder!

I had a similar situation with a bunch of Elitist pro's when I entered Titan Ex on DF for the first time. And yet for all their gear and obnoxiousness, they still couldn't fathom that perhaps pugging on DF wasn't the best way to go about downing Titan Ex. So how is it OP that 'watching a video' is such an obvious thing to do for you, but making your own party is not?
