    Party Finder needs a hotfix

    So I found out the hard way today that a player can join a party in the PF even if they can't do the Duty that the party is trying to find a party for. This essentially means that when you go to queue up for the duty, it will of course say that someone in your party does not meet the requirements. Unfortunately this means that your party will practically disband trying to find the culprit, so I am suggesting that SE fix it in one of two ways, either:
    • Make it so that they can't join that duty unless they've unlocked it, though that would mean that they could still troll through unequiping their gear.
    • Tell the Party leader who exactly is not meeting the requirements and why, there is absolutely no reason why this is not already implemented since it is necessary for you to know the problem in order to correct it.

    Yeah, this has been a problem forever. It's better now, with the Locked Duty message, but it still happens.

    I'd say they should add both of these, since each has its own advantage.

    The former is better at catching the problem early. For instance, if someone unqualified took the healer spot in your PF, they could tie up that spot while you continued looking for a tank. Only once the party is full do you try entering the instance and find the problem. Better for the unqualified person to be unable to join in the first place. That way the next person (one who is qualified) doesn't get turned away by the spot being filled.

    The second is better in that it would also help with ad hoc groups being put together among friends, FC members, linkshells, etc.
