Block first timers from Party Finder!

[Ashkendor]

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.

I'm assuming by 'obnoxious elitist twerps' you actually mean 'people that want to farm in peace without being sabotaged by a tidal wave of bads just looking for a carry' here but are having trouble coming up with the right words. That's okay. We know what you really mean and that's kinda the entire point of the thread. Making it easier for us 'obnoxious elitist twerps' to find our own groups.

If you really believe that us wanting to farm something makes a bad community, you should remove the tinfoil hat. Many of the people you're slapping with derogatory labels are the very same ones that are willing to help new people clear. The thing is, we shouldn't be forced to help when we are of a mind to actually get other things done. When I want to farm, I farm. When I want to help, I help. Simple.

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.

Putting 'must have win' in the comment isn't very effective at all. If it was, this thread wouldn't even be a thing. When I put together a farm party, I do hit up my friends and linkshells first, but sometimes people are busy or just not feeling it and you can only get 6/8 or 7/8. That's when we go to PF to pug the last members. You're trying to make arguments for Party Finder here (where you are able to filter for the type of players that you'd like) that are actually better suited for Duty Finder (where you get completely random people). We're using Party Finder for its intended purpose and all we're asking for is for the tools we have (the check boxes) to actually physically enforce what we're looking for by not allowing people that don't meet the criteria to join in the first place, thereby avoiding the hassle.

I really don't understand why people keep trying to argue that this will "kill the community" or "kill party finder" or other various alarmist nonsense. All we're asking for is for the tools we have to actually be supported by the code instead of leaving the sorting out up to us.
