U guys are funny. So it is OK for everybody to lie and disregard/disrespect any requirements you make in Group Finder? Because nobody should be locked out? And people who aim to search for a group with similiar experience (at least having killed or having killed several times) shouldn't be allowed to do so because they are mean Elitists leaving the poor other players behind?
LMAO...get a grip. Seriously, get a grip. Nobody of you, I bet, is that much of a good-dooer as some claim here to be. I see how rude people are in Group Finder, I see how quickly ragequitters leave parties and I also see how people behave in Trials Roulette where they all of the time expect to get a one shot no matter how many new players are in the fight - but suddenly when it is about Group Finder and setting specific requirements when you aim to look for players in a similiar boat, we are all a big Family where nobody should be left behind?
You know that there are generally 3 kind of groups up in Group Finder? General training, specific phase training and Kill parties. In almost 100% of all Kill parties they are asking for proof already now. Loot or Lodestone link so it is already happening but I do not like this kind of stalking people and would prefer an automatism. It really isn't more what I am asking for and not far from what is already a given.
There are parties for everything you can imagine. And if not, why not start your own? My answer to that: because many people are lazy and can't be arsed to wait. They want things NOW, no matter who pays the costs for it. In my book, it is not OK and fair Game to join a group that wants to for example train on Phase 3 of a fight while you are really struggling with Phase 1 still and the group never even makes it to the phase they want to train.
Same for people asking for a previous kill. Of course having defeated a content once is no safe sign that somebody can do it. He might have been dead all time, paid for it and what not else. But you clearly see a difference between players with kill experience and players who struggle in the last phase. And yes, there are the quick learners who just need a good group once but as far as my experiences go, they are a tiny small minority.
The ones who claim to have a right to lie in order not to be left behind are surely accepting training people running around like headless chicken in times where they want to farm a boss or Turn quickly? Yeeees, sure everybody in this Game has lots of Patience and endless time on their hands. I see it in the Wildlife of Group Finder that Reality is much different.
The only thing I see here is the desire to generally join any party whatever the group search requirements are. Of course it is no option to make your own party and wait hours like others do, no just jump into any content and any party because it so nicely quick and hey, if the others are experienced, you might get a nice carry if they down it before they kick you.
