4 parties in a row now. Someone leaves. Tanks just disappear after getting flight, some DPS goes off to gather.

Do they have the right to gather? Sure they do. But it ruins the party for those who want to get gear.

Not to mention making PF gathering parties is way easier than making PF mob killing parties. I mean sure they HAVE mob killing parties, but it usually comes with some ridiculous rules to make the organizers life easier.

I know what you're going to say. Use Party Finder or do it with your FC. Well, sure, but both of those have also failed not to mention since it IS in the DF and you COULD fix it, why not do it?

How to fix it:

1. Make a Diadem (Gathering)
2. Make gathering extremely vital in order to get good gear.

Other good inclusions: Let parties invite "stranded" members from other parties.

Not so good inclusion: Let members be kicked. This one only if party can be refilled by join in progress or getting those "stranded" members. Can sorta be abused but.. eh, the whole zone is abuse already. 8 hours wasted in one day. Fun.
