Block first timers from Party Finder!

[Naliee]

According to previous posts by Community Rep, if someone join PF, agreed the rule but broke it, then it can be reported and GM will punish him.
So I think keep reporting such cheaters may draw GMs attention and then they will reflect the needs for this option to the Dev. ^^;

I actually blisted new person once that joined to farm party. Was long time ago and I took person off blist few days after, but I never saw him again...

Make something like Thordan Practise Party for First Experience impossible since there is no df for it. Forget it.

Not impossible, you go to Party Finder > click trials > select Thordan Extreme > select what kinda players you want to comment section "Training from the start, newbs welcome!" or something else and lastly patiently wait pt to fill up. (I did this just few nights ago, had fun even if it was short time).

Yeah Im sorry, I responded to the first page with that

Well, you didn't evne read the first post, if that's your response. Considering Winter had posted that it would be an option (They even used bold in their original post.)

This is a thought that comes up against the idea multiple times but this idea is only to keep new people out of a party finder that is made as a 'Farm' party. It does nothing to prevent people from making their own or joining Learning parties.

Remember this would be an OPTION. Can new people still be invited to a party? Yes. Can new people still /tell the leader and ask to be invited? Yes. Can they rudely join the party without asking and ignoring rules? No. This would be an option. Also, remember the options are actually already there with 'serious play and high level gear', they just need to be enforced.

that seems a bit....extreme. using "Cheaters" is also a strong word. its more like dishonest.why not kick him out? and i thought the rule was that PF can make there own groups and can enforce their own rules. not that its a report-able offense. i may be wrong if so can i see the post that mentioned it was against the rules?

ToS under [player agreements it falled under trade and verbal player agreements. When you join a party with rules you agree to adhere to those rules, breakiing said rules means you break the agreement. And its hard to simply kick the offender as they don't fess up, and cause parties to disband due to blame game on who broke the rules.

Pretty much this, it's literally impossible to kick the dishonest person if multiple people don't speak up, as you wouldn't know who it was. It is actually a reportable offence too, but I doubt many people go that far and I also doubt SE act upon it.

either way that still seems a bit extreme. it feels like your using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

That may be so, but it wouldn't happen if people respected others rules and requests when joining their PF. They are not only being rude but are potentially wasting 7 other people's time in the process.

Bumping this thread as it's lost between countless others. This is still happening - and it's still annoying.

But still doesn't stop those people who completed but carried in the dungeon right?
Some barely made it. How to stop these things?
I ran Sepiroth extreme 12 times. During these times, I saw people having the weapon already and yet proceed to wipefest.
I was so frustrated and down, I afk from my computer for hours. Came back in to try again. Becomes another wipefest.
Jeez... ><

The goal isn't to stop it completely(as wonderful as it would be if it was possible). The goal is to greatly reduce the chance of that happening.

While that's true, there's literally nothing we can do to stop people from getting carried. However, this option would stop people from getting carried because they want the clear, which is surprisingly a lot of people.
