    I think it's their treatment to the "hardcore" player base. For the same reason Alex Savage is not in DF. Get your party and FC or use linkshells to gather ppl and manually go for it. But I really do not agree with it. Almost nobody uses the Party Finder system and whenver they do they ask for too high ilvl or experience leaving ppl who want practise out of it. We could use the DF for practise but SE decided this is Hardcore content. Not all of us are in big FC's. This tactic leave most of the people out of that content. I do not agree with it.

    Um? Is your server incredibly low population or something?
    My party finder has dozens of entries at all hours of the day.

    My server is a high population legacy server and we also have dozens of entries in the Party Finder.

    Half of them are crafting, three are FATE parties, and the last entries are EX Primals. HOWEVER, YOU HAD BETTER KNOW THE FIGHT PERFECTLY OR YOU'RE KICKED AND SHUNNED FOREVER.

    That's the state of the Party Finder.

    I've never had this problem. There's always a learning party to join at some point in the day, and the people there are quite nice. Sure you look up the fight beforehand, but my PuGs have always been patient and willing to explain things people don't understand.

    That's what happens when we've had nothing but 6 new boss battles total for a few months now (Bismarck, ravana, A1-A4). He said no one used party finder though, which is highly incorrect.

    Also, nothing is stopping anyone from forming their own learning party....

    What's stopping you from setting up a Practice PF run?

    What? Right now (1:30pm Eastern or so, not exactly peak hours) on my server there are 11 parties, several of which are looking for static members for savage, a couple of individuals who are looking for statics, a couple of Ravana EX farms, a couple of people selling items, and a Dravanian Hinterlands FATE party.

    So make your own learning party. With blackjack. And hookers.
