party finder option "previously cleared"

[TenkeiHolysword]

We really need an option so if we want only people who already beat the fight before to be able to join. This will limit the people who lie their way into parties when we are looking for people who cleared the fight before.

No offense to anyone, but I hate people who lie about clearing a fight when they have not.

Probably not going to happen. If someone fails, just kick them. Almost every PF group says have kill experience, but there are skilled people that can clear fights when the haven't before, or people who have done it many times on another character. You and them would be missing out.

In other words, I think SE would think it unfair to have a setting like that.

Just going to put it out there before someone says some negative "elitist" comment towards the OP. No it is not wrong to ask for people who are at your level of experience to play with.

Elitist! Just kidding. :P

I doubt they'll add it in, as there have been times I've run something and seen someone get the achievement, or whatever notification at the end of the fight denoting their first kill, but they were one of the most skilled/best players in the group.

There's been a number of fights I've managed to hit about 10% or less on, but the groups just can't seem to get that final bit to clear it. Does that make me any less experienced than someone with a clear? Heck no. I've just had the unfortunate luck to be with seven other people who didn't make the clear a reality.

A person cannot be blamed for others fails. So it's honestly easier just to remove a single person being problematic, than to tell everyone who's been stuck in bad groups that they're bad for their luck. If the tables were turned and you were the guy with bad luck, I'm sure you'd be calling out the people saying your 'non-clear' made you "ineligible" to even try with their group. :P
