    It may not take away our chance not to have the cleared-option in RF, but its making farming less convenient and more annyoing.
    Having the cleared-option in the DF isnt taking away the chance of people who want to learn the fight either - stop making it sound as if there is one newbie and 99 vety queueing and if they're all gone, newbie is all alone and cant learn the fight (unless they go into PF and make a learning party for it)

    We are not asking to remove the "I havent cleared it yet"-queue - we're asking for a second queue option, being "I have cleared this". And if people want to spend their freetime in a game farming instead of teaching/helping/carrying new people they should have every damn right and the means to do so!
    You really need to stop thinking that newbie-clears and their wish to do this content snyched are more important than "vet"-people who would like their bird now.
    I might want to spend those last two months before SB farming for my birds because there is nothing else to do and I would unsub without that. (This doesnt apply to me anymore, because I got my birds now - but I still see enough farm-parties, so telling those people "hey, just wait 2 months and go and help new people now because their kills are really more important" is a horrible attitude)
    You keep saying that you want to get those kills the proper way - guess what: I wanted to get my birds the proper way. Which is why I had to farm them now - it might be more difficult to get a syched-learning-party once unsched is an option, but its going to be impossible to farm this content syched once unsyched is an option. So your argument only works when you consider the new person more important than anyone else...

    Lets go back to the swimming pool and the two lanes that are for people who want to serious exersice while the rest of the pool is for everyone who wants to just fool around and paddle a bit - those people who want to seriously exersice arent being mean monsters, even if they keep focused on their goal of swimming lanes when the playful people need one more person for water-volleyball and our swimmer chooses to stay focused on their goal and not join them.

    Which isn't to say you're necessarily wrong regarding the raid finder. But your attitude is literally useless to Square Enix, and they're not going to cater to it because it doesn't help grow the game at all. If you want to convince them to give you what they want, you need to provide a reason for them to do so. Selfishness is not a good way to convince people to help you.
    How is forcing people to help anymore helpful and healthy? How is saying "Hey, you can go and play football, but only if you take your little brother with you" helpful?

    Dont get me wrong, I understand and know why those mechanics are in place - but you cant make people help other people. By not giving them a choice its basically telling them "Hey, your intrests are worth less to us than those of the person who just joined the game three weeks ago" - and how is that a good attitude?

    And its not even helpful for new people - not every person who'd like to farm has the patience or the skill to teach new people. They'll get upset, toxic, leave immidiatly or after one wipe... giving those people the option to stay out of learning groups is helpful for both sides. Because then only people who are fine with a slower pace will queue up for not-cleared.
