Block first timers from Party Finder!

[Thunda_Cat_SMASH]

Through the PF, I have never recieved help, at all, ever since I started playing way back in 2.0. Even when I would put up learning or clear parties for relevant content, not a single party would ever fill up, even if I advertised it. Three hours without a nibble, nightly, for weeks is not going to leave a good impression on anybody. As a matter of fact, The only times I've ever managed to even clear content that requires a full party is when I run with people I know, on the rare chance people aren't doing other stuff. I've even tried to look for a static through PF, ffs, and nothing. People don't join learning parties, they don't join clear parties, at the very least, on my own server. Perhaps a rare nice guy will on others, but not this one.

Maybe its in how you are selling it. I see PFs fill up quite fast on my server. I'll think "I have time to go to this hunt before joining." Then I turn around and either the heal spots are filled, or its filled and they're in.

You've been playing since 2.0, don't you have LS and FC that can at least start helping fill it?

Funny thing is, if this was implemented, learning and clear parties would fill up more because people can't sneak into farm parties for clears anymore.

A very good point, without being able to sneak in their clears, they will have to join the appropriate party. And who knows, maybe they'll actually learn it along the way, rather than being carried through, ignoring mechanics, or floor tanking.
