Can we please do something about this?

[Selova]

I literally just got out of a expert roulette, dungeon was Ala Mhigo. A astro with full 340 gear and a 345 weapon from Omega savage was our healer with.... 9k hp. I figured something was off and decided to approach him about it and apparently got labeled a elitest despite the fact that i made a comment about his gear being completely broken and not the quality of the gear he had. So, I request that the developers implement some kind of failsafe to prevent anyone from queueing for anything unless their gear is completely repaired so they don't end up joining and wasting 3 other people's time. The only reason we even completed it was because i was on my RDM and got paired with another RDM where we spent the entire run alternating dualcast verraises on the healer every 5 seconds and keeping the tank and the rest of the party up by spamming vercures. Please do something about this because the whole being unable to repair your gear unless you have leveled up the corresponding crafter for your armor type/Job is extremely outdated and needs to be re-evaluated. Thank you for your time.

There's already a pop-up message when you queue up with broken gear, so that's on the AST.
If that doesn't work then a swift kick should do the trick, that way next time they go into a dungeon they'll remember to repair.

Yeah, i understand that, but for some people these little warnings clearly don't work. I just wish there was a more concrete way to make it so they can't join groups until their gear is in the proper condition for doing whatever group content they are queueing up for.

That message works poorly with the tank and healer queues, because they're so fast. Half the time I see it, the dungeon popped at the same time and I've already clicked to join before I even notice it.

It'd be a lot more effective if it *blocked* you from queuing when you're below 40%.

As someone who queue'd as a tank, that system is only good on a dps.

It gives you a warning, but doesn't stop you from queuing right on the click. If your queue is instant, you don't get a choice. It'd be much better if it gave a popup asking you to confirm you know you're going in with damaged gear.

Just did this last night as a healer.

how did you talk to the healer? just curious. sometimes people don't realize their gear wears. And yes there is a warning. with speed pull runs i notice gear durability goes down quick.
They might have been on their way to repair the gear when the queue popped.

never know, just confronting people with a "stop wasting 3/7 ppl time" is a e way to handle stuff. you can only speak for yourself.

we have enough fail safe, if the player is being problematic kick them. say "i notice your gear is broken, you able to repair it? if not we can kick you so you can repair it and re-queue"

that way you doing them a favor, and not doing the"stop wasting our time". though if you have standards of play pf is for you.

I literally said word for word, and i quote: "So, going to go out on a limb here and assume your gear is broken heals, with 9k hp and all." word for word exactly how i said it. I only brought up the wasting the groups time when he called me a elitest for no reason. I never said one thing regarding the quality of his gear.

that is a rude way to go about it. I would have called you an E too. Just saying, try to be nicer next time rather then a jerk. Way you went about it put them on the spot causing them to get defensive. when you don't know why their gear was broke. Or if the queue pop'ed before they could repair.

Asking questions helps.
