Lock Out Bad Players from PF/DF?

[Fal_Kearst]

There is also the group of people that love and enjoy the game but have a hard time getting better. Whether it be a disability or due to age. I for one do not mind playing with these people. I can keep them alive forever on healer so they may enjoy themselves. Empathy.

This isn't about New Players


Doing Expert Dungeons in DF is rly cancer
0 DPS Healers just standing around and doing nothing
1k DPS Tanks, only pulling small groups and need 5mins to pull the next grp
2k DPS DDs don't know how to use AoEs or anything about their Rotations


Doing Weekly Savage in PF is also cancer
Tanks can't use their CDs
DDs are so low in DPS, that it looks like, the Boss is healing himself
Healers... oof... don't know what to say
Everyone fails easy Mechanics and no one knows what Mitigation is.. :/


So can Bad Players pls get locked out from DF/PF
They can go premade, if they want a free carry

There could be a weekly Test:
- Every Job should do a minimum of DPS, based on their current iLvl/Gear
- Play Basic Game-Mechanics

If you pass the Test, you are allowed to fully use DF and PF

Yeah...while in general, I agree that the general playerbase could be better, this is just a really bad idea. I mean, unless you want to actively kill sub count.

Btw, how do OP imagine people learn the raids if he want to lock them out from the duty finder?
I know how to pull out decent dps on my chars, but i have troubles to adjust this knowledge to the raid, because of many different mechanics i am not aware of since i dont spend that much time repeating one run over and over and over. If i do one raid twice a week this is a success itself.
Correct me if i am wrong, but knowing the raid and its phases and the boss moves could make up to 50% of someones dps, thats what i have observed.
Locking DF like OP wants would only increase the queue times into infinity and it wont fix anything, the OP is either trolling or drunk i guess, the idea would completely destroy Pugs.

Sometimes kind of a dps and mechanic check would be a great thing x:
It can't go on that players with more than one lvl 70 Job and ilvl 350-90 Gear don't know how basic mechanics works, like the stack marks, turning around and face away from the Boss when the big red Eye pops up over the Boss or moving away from the group when you have the aoe mark over your Head that places a aoe under your Char, that are all things you see many many times on your way to lvl 70 and there are still so many people don't know how to act in this situations, so i can understand that there are People who wish for some kind of dps/mechanic tests to enter some content.

This isn't solving the problem, that too many players in this game are rly bad and just get carried.

A big part of the reason you get tomestones is payment for putting up with folks who don't, can't, or won't perform well. This applies to pretty much anything you'd use Duty Finder for. Their cash is as green as yours, and so SE wants them paying.

When doing casual content, and you run across these people, just grin and bear it; even the worst players typically only tack a few extra minutes onto the run. And when the content is not casual? Kick the underperformers. Party Finder is exactly for creating a party of individuals that meet your standards. If it's not your party, or it is and you decide not to kick, you have no room to complain.

Add this to the repository of poorly thought troll ideas.

For anyone taking this topic seriously, Duty Finder is a agreement to play with anyone of different skill level, class, and time. It does not guarantee the best nor the worst but there is a level of expectations set when you play with random people. Not to mention Duty Finder is there to help players of different skill level and not there for personal use only. If players performs differently than your expectations then remember that when you enter DF it is a agreement to play with others who have different expectations.

If you don't want to play with someone of different skill level then it is better to just make your own group in Party Finder with people that you consider trusting to meet the expected that has been set.

it's not just Party Finder, you can make an entire linkshell or a free company of like-minded people and just play exclusively with them.
