Block first timers from Party Finder!

[Phireblast]

As someone who has PTSD from new people who join farm parties without even saying a god damn thing, I support. However, I don't expect this to happen. SE is too afraid of gating the casual and/or the bad part of the playerbase. Though, there were some arguments in the thread presented on how this can benefit the newer players.

Thanks for the support. It's either don't mention anything and have no chance of them implementing it, or making it known to the Devs that this is a problem and hoping they do. At least they can be made aware of this

I'm just gonna say this. Party Finder is oftentimes used for Clears, not just for farms. Everyone should be allowed to use the Party Finder to serve their own ends.

O...kay? This would do absolutely nothing to prevent people from putting up clear groups, though. >_>

So leave the Western players to suffer because the Japanese players don't have this problem? We all pay the same subscription.

RMT practically doesn't exist on JPN worlds either, look at all the wonderful tools the rest of us have to deal with it (ie. none).

Anyhow - I suppose an option that disallows people without the clear could and should be implemented. There are quite a few already, one more to help people form the parties they want wouldn't hurt. So yeah, why not. I already see too many PFs that are either for farm only or not specified at all, something like would contribute to clarifying whether someone can join or not without much of an effort or cause for confusion.

I never joint a party that sets 'farm' if I haven't down that. And I think most people are like me. Sometimes the new players really make troubles but to set an option feels hurt. =P Now the system already has bonus tips if we got first-timers in party, maybe SE can just add the player's name along while displaying the tip message. Then if party thinks they can't carry the new, they can just vote to kick or something.

No they aren't. That's why we're even bothering making this suggestion in the first place.

Respect to you for doing that, but unfortunately most people are not like you.

The problem with this is the fact players still have to form the party, enter the duty, realise who is new and then remove them from the party, which is massively inconvenient.

It could give players incentive not to join the party but unless they literally can't join, I'm sure they still would, thinking it would be too much trouble to replace them.

This is a bad idea.

If you want to make a farm party. Use that Friends list thing. When you use the Party finder and people do really go. ADD them and next time your on and wanting to.. send tells and say hey I'm doing AS3 today your want to join. ... you know from say Turn 9 they are a good player. So ya now you do AS3 with them.


As for locking people out who haven't cleared .. Nope.. Don't want that to happen. It will just make it harder for people to get clears.

So basically, you're telling me I have to use my friends list to form a party? This in itself proves there's a problem with party finder. Just because someone farms with me once doesn't mean they want to farm whenever I do.

Make it harder for people to get clears? Yes, if you're going to rudely join a farm party you shouldn't even be joining. If you want to clear then make your own clear party. Stop relying on other people.

Can we also block players who did their first time (and maybe 2nd time) AFK?
