    I'd really hate to start a farm party to have one or more players who want to be assholes and join and waste everybody's time without consent because last time I remember, the party wasn't listed as a learning party. Once we enter that instance and we see the new player bonus, me and possibly other players will be generally annoyed and just leave, going back to step 1. Worst but common case scenario, the party collectively disbands. Either that, or the party goes "idc", kills the boss, then the new player gets the loot and bails to shit up the next party(and my blacklist). It's pretty much why I stopped hosting pony farms.

    Now, if the player simply asked, maybe, just MAYBE the party would be okay with taking them along depending on the content. Pony farms are easier thanks to unsync, but you're still at the mercy of mechanics in fights such as Ifrit. Since fights like those are generally easy, parties might not mind giving the new guys a rundown since it won't take much time if they speak up. However, if they don't and keep wiping the group, they're just going to think the player is a general asshole that only seeks to leech and hate your guts. Our annoyance is pretty much directed at the people who try to leech off of others.

    This whole idea may put up a seemingly elitist(when it's not) front at FIRST GLANCE, but it's more of at the convenience of everyone that isn't a person out to waste people's time.
