    It's like relationships. When people agree to go out on a date with another person, we try to pretend we will get along with someone because we have some common interest and then the date goes horribly. Instead of just chalking it up to a bad pairing, we want to blame it on like "well they don't really like this thing we shared in common, THEY LIED!".... No, not really. Some people just don't work well together. Same thing with party finder. Both people could be good at a fight and just work poorly together. That's just life. If people want to actually succeed, they just keep trying to or they find someone else to play with. I feel the worst for people that just jump from group to group constantly wanting some magic instant win. It's kind of like going on 100 first dates and just hoping for a magical prince charming instead of actually getting to know anyone or actually trying.
    Maybe its just because Im tired, or maybe its the way you worded it, but none of what you said actually made sense to me at all.

    I should work on getting to know people im farming with? Why?

    Not really just like, some people are going to work well, some are not. I just mean, it's about trying to figure out which is which. Figuring that out requires like some small bit of watching who is doing what. If you have to kick someone from a group, kick them. Maybe people find it easier to just disband rather than kick people from a failing party finder group. I just think it's kind of a waste of time to completely start over when something can be salvaged. I see leaders just purge groups and start over and over for hours in party finder... It's always like that one name looking for members for hours, with harsher and harsher messages in the comment field as the night wears on so i suppose they aren't getting anywhere.

    Also, if you are going to farm something for a few hours with some random people, does it hurt to have some communication going on or getting to know them? Most of the good farm groups in party finder I've been in lasted a while.

    On the disband rather than kick point, I've been in some farms where the leader quote "felt uncomfortable kicking just the one/two failing people and decided to just abandon it" so that may explain some of the disbands.

    On another note, a lot of the PF asking for clears do so in order to avoid "having to watch who is doing what" as lets face it, more people with clears know what they are doing than those without. Im sure some take this to the extreme and ask for all sort of things but I feel asking just for a clear is not too much to ask for.

    Sure if you don't have the clear yet you could send a tell to the leader explaining your situation but the amount of people without a clear and something on farm status is incredibly slim to almost none.
