How are the party finder groups on your server?

[Nukocafe]

I don't know, maybe it's just my server, maybe it's like that everywhere but the party finder pugs in my server are AWFUL.

Examples:


Leviathan Farm Party - before we even get to the gyre spumes, both healers get smashed in the face with dives, end up dying, not healing tank, tank dies, party wipes. When asked if they have cleared, they claim they have. When asked why they get hit with dives they say "lol" or "it was a warm up". After 2 wipes, people just drop out. No farming or clearing was accomplished.

Turn 6 Party - I made a party to practice the final phase of turn 6, the phase with slugs. I warned and said if you die to boquet or get eaten you will be removed. Someone STILL comes in, has NO IDEA what he is doing, dies/gets eaten multiple times and gets kicked. Replacements who come in, have obvious connection problems, constantly lag/disconnect/die because of lag. After about an hour of this, we didn't even make it to phase 3 and I basically wasted my entire night with a bunch of landmines.

Another Turn 6 Party - We get to phase 3 in 1 shot, die because of some small mistake, a bunch of people drop out and party disbands.

Turn 5 Farm party - We get to twister phase in 1 shot, some people die from twisters. We restart and get to twisters again, same thing happens. Party leader complains that people are bad (when he ate a twister himself) and disbands party after 2 wipes.

Don't even get me started on duty finder and tanks who come into Levi Ex with Moogle weapons, or DPS with darklight gear. So how is the pug scene on your server? Is it the same? Better? Worse?

Most of the PF parties I'm in are average to below average. Of course with the harder content you're going to get more inexperienced or newer people because many of the good people don't like wiping for hours in a progression party after learning the content so they run with their own people. T6-T9 are especially bad because of the lock out, and it's up to the player to join some kind of LS/FC that has competent people who PUG it every week if they want a higher success rate. Your also welcome to create your own group, whether that be for PUGing or forming a static.

I'm in a few of the PUG LSes myself in which I got invited to eventually because I PUGed enough fights with enough competence to get invited. There's also usually more than one (where many members overlap). What I find though is that those that are good usually start getting snatched up to form statics or they clear stuff fairly early in the week.

I do have a static but we had a few members out this week so I decided to try my luck with pugging but yea that was such a mistake and a waste of time.
I just honestly don't understand the mentality of people who are bad, know they are bad, but come in anyway in hopes they won't be bad??? They will get kicked anyway (and possibly blacklisted) so I don't really get why people do that.

I should write a thesis on "Super Secret Experieced PuG LS and it's effects on the server". I'm pretty sure all servers have a few of these which causes a rift where no experienced player does PF anymore once they are in it. This of course leaves the rest behind in a pit of filth and death.

Then again, I think I'll just rip off one of those "down with the 1%" pieces instead.

I was once invited to one of those but all they ever did was Ultima HM lol...so I left　(´・ω・`)

"Farm Party" = "Please Please Carry Me Free!!1!!" Party.

On my server, generally good. Never tried T6 and beyond in PF, since I have a static for that, but I am training a new character for fun times in Second Coil in the future lol.

The majority of Leviathan parties are successful. Over 90% But after 5 or so clears, people start playing sloppy and begin making mistakes and the party disbands.

Maybe 25% Of Turn 5 parties are successful. But they can only clear it once or twice before the group disbands.

Turn 6, About 10% are successful. Most can get to the slug phase but people never seem to learn and keep making the same mistakes. I question how a lot of these people managed to beat Turn 5.

May be a personal observation but most of the Primal DF Server parties are downright horrible.

But today I had a Garuda EX pt. No one said a word in PT chat and we managed to down it on the 2nd try with no problems. I was completely shocked in regards to this phenomena and secretly still wishing that I could join more parties like that particular one.

I dunno I feel mixed. Usually always clear Titan HM when i DF it..though i am almost always the only DPS alive after half health with just tanks and healers. Garuda EX went smooth..Titan EX we keep getting about halfway. So to me the parties I get could be way worse..but they could be much better.
