Block first timers from Party Finder!

So suck it up, let the noob in, and hit you head against the wall for a clear.

I already spend a good portion of my time helping people learn and get clears on everything from T1 to A2S. My static ran learning parties every Saturday night in the six weeks leading up to Heavensward, mostly teaching T9 and T13 but a few other things too. We still get together on occasion to teach fights to people that ask us directly. I love to help people learn, but I still don't see how there's anything wrong with me wanting to join a farm party in order to, y'know, actually farm something with people that already know the fight. When I join a farm party, I have a certain expectation of the other members - that they are capable of actually farming the content. Shocking, I know. If someone joins that's been to <5% multiple times but just can't seem to get a party that can put the nail in the coffin, I'm all for letting them in. I've been there. If someone joins that hasn't even cracked open a guide, they can turn around, toodle their way on back out, and go make a learning party. They're more than welcome to ask for help with a learning party at some point, but I don't see how it makes me a terrible person to actually want to get some clears when I sit down to farm.

I don't join a farm to beat my head against a wall while someone learns a difficult mechanic. I join learning parties to help with that.

Also, your character looks eerily similar to mine. o.o

It's okay you can call me handsome =P

But in all seriousness I never said you should be able to farm. I just explained why people lie to get in and how it can be fixed with a change of attitude rather then a filter that dig a wedge people into the raiding community.

PS. Your signature makes me giggle =P

Yeah, I understand why people do it. I understand that not everyone is a lazynik looking for a carry, but some feel that they just can't get a clear any other way. That's completely not true, though, and the end result on a farming party is generally the same either way. It tends toward people getting upset and the party breaking up, therefore thwarting the goals of both the farmers and of the person looking for a clear. On the odd occasions that you do actually kill it, probably 7 times out of 10 the person that wanted the clear snatches whatever loot they can, says 'thx gotta go dinner' and bails. It's frustrating on so many levels.

You have no idea how hard I laughed when that happened. My static was afraid I would choke.

It was accompanied by someone in Mumble saying, "Yeah, you're gonna get hit for... yeah, you died."

i think they a troll.. cuz i saw that too pretty much identical to the NTH degree (:P)

Nahh I mean, we only have so many customization options so it's bound to happen at one point or another. There's some differences with the features, but the overall look is pretty similar. I've seen a few people ingame that are pretty close and I always have to stop and gawk at them and compare them to my character (then skitter away when I see that they're not actually afk, lol xD).
