In Mists when you signed up for a pickup group it would display your level of completion in Proving Grounds: Bronze, Silver, Gold or none. Proving Grounds isn't a walk in the park either, it does test you pretty well. For example, if you have never used crowed control leveling, well, you will HAVE to use it in Proving Grounds. DPS PG has enemies that should be CCed then killed in certain orders, aoes and spells to avoid, abilities to interrupt etc.

Kinda sounds like what people hoped/feared Stone Sky Sea would be.

I doubt Yoshi will ever implement any kind of peer pressure tools where you have to prove yourself.

I think generally any sorting option to prevent people from playing with others who dont have a compatible playstyle is good. Raider.IO was just not good enough at that, and it was possible to game the system, to the point where everyone did it.

A sorting option might be good, but for things like DF dungeons, like if people could be matched based on their preference for pull size.

For raids it would be bad. If you only lump all the good players together then that makes it harder for bad players to clear, which means less and less clears overall. Then the devs would see lower and lower clear rates and either make the content easier or stop making difficult content altogether. If you want hard content then you need to be willing to carry some scrubs now and then.

Wow Refugee memes aside, with Wow's quality in almost ever regard dropping imo (Played since Vanilla both here and WoW) I specifically enjoy FFXIV for the fact that it's lacking aspects of WoW I disliked.

Toxic behavior will always be there but having a Mod / system akin to Raider.IO will only give elitists more to flaunt and abuse.
