Cross server PF, horrendous.

Gotta disagree with this, because cross-server PF made it possible to farm a lot of the older Ex primals back in HW when Party Finder first went cross-world; before then, on my server at least, Ex primals were not farmed very often save for the most recent one. Same with making it easier to PUG Creator Savage.

Cross-world PF is a great thing. You can’t guarantee the quality of people you find in cross-world PF, but that doesn’t mean that all players on servers that aren’t yours are bad. You can’t even guarantee that you’ll get better players from your server unless you are able to measure their skill.

Are you meaning you think the party finder has only recently gone cross-world? I think it’s always been that way.

Cross-world Party Finder became a thing in Patch 3.4, if I remember correctly. For a very long time it was just server-only. Which made it super painful to farm Extreme trials, especially if you weren’t on a server that did a lot of higher-end content. It’s also the reason people flocked to Gilgamesh, because most raiders were on that server (for Aether anyways) and it was easier to find statics there.
