Block first timers from Party Finder!

I've read every post in this extremely long thread. If I have misunderstandings, it's more likely that people haven't been perfectly clear, or because I doubt they're being completely honest.

...Also, that other post isn't really related. That one is more me complaining about the people that paid for their clears without bothering to learn the fight.

The thing is, your responses show that you think it's a selfish or elitist request and we don't want new players in our party, when this isn't the case at all.

If someone hasn't cleared, but they /tell me, be honest, and explain how much of the fight they know, I'd glady bring them along. This isn't 'you're a noob and I don't want you in my party' like you're making out. They could wipe us multiple times, I've been there, done that, posted screenshots to prove it, and still didn't kick them.

The problem I have is not against new players, but dishonest players, or players who think it's okay to join a farm, get their clear, and leave. Hence this being an option. I'm very patient with new players. I explain fights, I join learning parties, I help others. Please get out of your mind that this is trying to discriminate new players. It's discriminating dishonest players.

You can argue with me all you like about how this request is selfish or elitist but the fact of the matter is that the people who lie, waste people's time and ruin others gaming experience are the selfish ones.

Also, your argument about people still paying for clears doesn't matter, you know yourself that this option would massively reduce this still. It would be stupid to think this would be 100% effective but it certainly saves a lot of people's time.
