Lunaaaa. I know it's off topic, but when did you get the crazy-eye mask thing from the creepy
Bananahammockmiqo'te? it looks good! Grats if you got it recently c:

EDIT: Ot hwhat the hell it only copied half my post...

Had an interesting run-in today with a Farm party. My girlfriend was online before me, and when I logged in she said they needed a healer. When I went and joined them as my healer I made it clear up front that I had my clear on my other character. They were pretty cool with it - however...

Best part of it was? Some of the farmers were the people I went back and helped get a clear via PF with my girlfriend. There was something magical about it. These were people working hard in PF making Phase-learning/clear parties.

These were people that knew me and knew how good at the fight I am.

still, I'm finding I love the community more and more at times and at other times hating the people who join the farms who clearly aren't at a farm level / ignore the PF. I'd still fully support this system.

@Eidolon, I've had it a while now, but thank you! it's one of my favourite glamours :P

On topic, that's really nice to hear. It's good to see that not everyone is ignorant and tries to leech! Also thank you for keeping this thread alive. It is much appreciated

Yea. I think it's be a useful feature so I try to give small bumps to keep it relevant. Most of the concerns in this topic have been due to a misunderstanding from the thread title - so I'm also pretty glad to see a lot of people supporting it.

I don't think a reason has really been given that adequately serves as a reason not to implement a feature that gives more control in PF.

Tjough I will say... I've helped people get a clear and asked myself 'what have I unleashed in farm parties?' Lol

i am not against the system, however, i am curious as to how something like that would work? what about those cases where the the duty your going to run is not available to be seen in the PF duty list?(don't think there is any now but at 3.0 launch there were quite a few) would everything get a block the first timers like diadem?

In these cases in guess it couldn't apply, although as a QoL feature Square should really just add everything (trial wise) to the party finder. I'm not sure why they even had it so some weren't there.

Unfortunately, even with a system like this, there will still be instances of people joining and wasting a groups time. Like I said before though, I agree it should be something in place.

That may be true, since clear =/= farm. But the majority of the 'leechers' would still be avoided, since they tend to be of the "I haven't cleared this yet, and thus joining you got to get a free clear" type.

(And yes, I know you're not arguing against the suggestion ^^)

(Edit: wow... didn't even notice the typo until now O.o *fixed it*)

This. Most of the people leeching are the ones who want their free clear.
