Block first timers from Party Finder!

[JayCommon]

I don't think this will happen and rightly so. Almost every single party finder would be locked out from newcomers which is wrong and i believe SE would feel the same way.

This is not a good reason to not implement the idea presented in the OP. Almost every single party finder that is set up for "clears" will put the boot to the new player anyway. What you say, already happens in-game. There is literally no reason to not have this as an option.

This may be one of the rare cases where I began agreeing with your post, and then as I progressed I stopped sharing your point of view even though I did give you a like... I agree that if this is implemented they need to put a check in-game to make sure you have actually cleared the content you are asking others to have cleared. However you continue on to blast vets for not wanting to help. You present your opinion as if the veterans asking for this option should somehow feel bad about excluding new players from their parties.

I counter with, the actual rude person in this situation is the person who falsely joins a "farm" party without knowing the fight, and expecting people who put the learning time in already to carry them. I join learning/first clear parties every once in awhile to try and help people out, but I am not obligated to help these people when I do want something for me. And then the spat of this "Me, Me, Me" stuff............

Am I in charge of gearing up the playerbase? Am I required to devote my personal time for other's gains? I can only help people so often before I, ya know, actually do want to do some stuff that benefits me as well. You also need to realize that, as a new player, MMO's progress with or without you (not you per se, but colloquially). If you want to jump into the train later than everyone else, it's no one's fault but your own. When content comes out, *news flash*, everyone is new. Many of us put the hours in, wiping constantly, to learn these fights. And then a month later, a new person sneaks into a farm group where everyone else is prepped to clear, and wipes happen because of the inconsideration shown by the individual who joined a "farm" party and has never even beaten the content before.

I have patience. I enjoy helping others. I do give new players a chance. But sometimes, I want to farm also. Why are you making it seem like the people who don't want their farm parties destroyed by 1 inconsiderate person are the bad guys here?

You would not use kill exp only etc in the message, just simply put a your dps must be this much at minimum.

I'm utterly shocked this comment made it this far without someone just completely shutting you down. *lets you borrow his flameshield* If you keep verbalizing those types of opinions around here, you will need it. Just for the record, I agree with you and would love some type of in-game parse program (mainly because I play on PS4 so I'm kind of screwed), but oh my some of the people here think parsing is the worst thing to ever happen. Especially the way you presented it (using to prevent players from joining because of low DPS is literally, one of the hottest topics on the forums and the one that has the playerbase most divided)

The left edge of the shield got dinged up when The Hunt was introduced, but it's mostly intact.
