Block first timers from Party Finder!

[WinterLuna]

Hmm.... Not so sure about this idea. As useful as it is, it'd lower a new player's confidence most likely resulting in less active/subcribing players looking for those to party with (Friends blah blah irrelevant). FF14 is good at making new players feel welcomed (not sure for veteran players) so to add this mode would deviate from that reputation and maybe draw in a different player base entirely.

Party Finder is a tool to find players with the same goal - if you're new, you shouldn't even be needing, or wanting, to join a farm party.

Clear and learning parties can still be joined and formed. New players are welcome to those and always will be, but farm parties are not the place for that.

Personally, I support this idea.

Thank you for the support!

I got a better idea. block obnoxious elitist twerps from the party finder. If you've cleared it 'infinity-1' amount of times.. find your own group.

Shit like this is why this game's community SUCKS.

Sigh... you just read the title didnt you. Didn't even read the thread or the even try to understand the spirit of the thread. If you wanna understand you can go back in read. If you don't wanna understand and you just wanna post obnoxiously then you will be promptly ignored.

Actually I think this post highlights the real reason why this community sometimes sucks. Failure to even attempt to understand and have a civil discussion. Instead it resorts to a rage and flippancy.

Good day

Have you actually read the thread or completely ignored everything I said other than the title?

'Oh no! Someone actually wants to do something for themselves in the game without it being hindered by incompetent players or people using their parties for their own benefit! How SELFISH! What an 'obnoxious elitist twerp!'

This. I don't even know how people can use the arguments that they do.

It says a lot about the community (that people keep preaching about) when people think it's okay for players to disrespect and use someone's party for selfish reasons, but not okay to want to farm successfully.

Smh.

I'm simply asking for a setting on the party finder to allow players who have completed the fight only. When you have tried farming something as much as I have and have endlessly had your PF used for free clears or people joining with no clue, it gets boring quickly.

So put 'must have win' in the PF comment. This is pretty effective. But if people ignore it, too bad. That's the risk you take when using the party finder. If you wanted an experienced group you'd grab people you know are reliable and form a party on your own. Adding such an option to the party finder would also KILL the PARTY FINDER. Because people don't create parties for players with less experience than themselves. They create parties to WIN, which means almost all party listings will be limited it too people who already have a clear.

Perhaps you should just use the DF to farm. I've done that. It works... you get quick queue times if your a tank or healer, which appears to be the role you play. Depends on the battle of course.

Snip

I understand your point.

I just don't quite understand how making a check box that forces the game to make sure that the person has a clear would somehow kill PF. Honestly, I try to avoid PF right now because it is broken in it's current state. It needs fixes and options to make it a resource that is reliable. It's simply not reliable at all because people lie. There needs to be a check and a balance to that. Honestly though if someone wants the win then they can make a learning or clear party... they are on there all the time. They also fill up, usually with people who will help clear it because they are bored. If people are unwilling to make these parties and are instead hijacking an experienced group without their knowledge then isnt that an issue that should be addressed. Why should players be hamstringed just because someone hasn't gotten a clear. It's in their quest log and so it is their responsibility to facilitate a clear.

I guess I'm having trouble seeing where your coming from on this.

Basically. But hey, at least people would have to look for a different scape goat foe why their farm fails forthe ttwentieth time that night.

I'd still be willing to bet it would happen less, but of course it would still happen lol.
