Block first timers from Party Finder!

[Ageofwar]

i though farming party = leader wants to be carried though content for clear and pony or weapon

OK that's the bad jokes out of the way

not that I'm going to read 41 pages but the general idea I'm getting is

filthy casuals Vs filthy hardcore gamers

JP might do things this way

DF = serious runs
PF = practice runs

NA/EU do things this way

PF = serious runs
DF = practice runs

NA/EU - how it feels from a casuals point of view

PF = serious runs (no noobs)
DF = serious runs (no noobs)

and i am against the OP's idea since it is so dead against the community

Then you should probably read the 41 pages since you're getting the wrong idea.

I really love these forums

Fixed for you.

Farm = experienced people who are able to clear easily and know the fight 100%

Kill = newbies with previous experience of mechanics or people with low amount of kills who still need to learn mechanics until fully understood

Practice: complete new people, experienced people who wish to help, or as specified in the pf training for certain phases.

What some people see, FARM aka free clear.

Yeah, you're getting the wrong idea. Maybe you should go back and read some of the other posts. The first one, at the very least.

The only part of the community this is against is the part that sneaks into farming parties to ninja clears.

I for one couldn't care less if people are "filthy casuals" or not, as long as they know the fight they're signing up for.

I have to ask what is wrong with this? If you start your own PF group you set your own rules. So if somebody does not want first timers, then first timers should not force their way in. Everyone can start their own PF group with their own rules and it is only logical that the first timers should join learning parties.

The way our community supports cheating and carrying is mind-blowing.

This issue is easily fixed with simple communication. No need for additional features really. I find many people are terrible communicators in groups. Excellent at complaining when something goes bad but terrible at initial leadership. Verify everyone has cleared before going in. If people lie then they lie, and you kick them out. Its easy to tell when someone is a first timer...

This is why people are requesting for this option to PF. Simple communication doesn't ALWAYS work. Linking weapons/gear is one way but there can always be that "one guy" who doesn't have that. Linking achiviement is trouble.

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.

Friends list? What friends list? I don't have that many friends on my list and I don't like adding random people to it(If you are on my friends list, you mean something to me). Besides there is problems if we have to just rely on that, not all my friends can be online at the same time as I am or have the time when I do.

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.

^ THIS SO MUCH. Or if you have the gils then I can carry you. j/k

And I'm gonna reply to this same way I did before.

I'm not sorry for the fact that when I join farm party and actually want to FARM.
