Concerns about Ultimate PF on Aether

[Saraide]

Not if, you actually need to have passed the steps in duty finder to be able to join those that was able to check it on, as they passed it.

My proposal is to murder statics entirely for Ultimates this and only letting you DO it QUEING with Duty Finder SOLO only, no options Partyfinder at all... making it the ultimate challenge.

Also would get rid og all the world first bs... and people cheating/buying clears which is in conflict with the TOS.

This is on the same level as a child destroying their toys so no one else can play with them.

If you are not aware of the situation...
TOP has basically destroyed aether ultimate PF.

Starting 4 weeks ago, 30-40 TOP parties began being clear only
to join you were required to show fflogs proof of having hit phase 6 (which is against the ToS to require), or it was a duty complete clear for 1 party

PF basically overnight died, pfs took 6 hours to fill, and to my knowledge there has not been a single recorded instance of a pf clear ever since.

Those who did not manage to get to P6 by then were stranded and could no longer prog, as the few p5 and prog parties took much longer to fill.

On top of that, to my knowledge there are now two global pf blacklists going on, and if you ever done any TOP pfing on aether, you have a 99% chance of being on one of the two lists.

The 40 total people that were regular pfers for TOP started avoiding each other, further increasing the time it takes to fill PFs

The situation is so insane today, primetime saturday afternoon, there are a total of 6 TOP pfs, 2 of them are advertisements, and you can no longer do TOP on any NA datacenter without a static.

As someone who only pugs and knowing it wasn't this bad during DSR, I'm heavily concerned with the state of PF.

I doubt anything can be done about it, but just wanted to raise some awareness.

That's a lot of drama for a videogame. Back in my day, people gamed for fun.

Anyone else remember this post?

I lead a raiding static, we are doing TOP and got to phase 3. Alt character for anonymity purposes

Recently a member streamed and showed himself using a zoomhack, so I swiftly and immediately kicked him from the static, reported him and blocked him.

Yet now after 3 days trying to find a replacement, some members of the static started arguing with me and 2 of them left.

They say that it was petty of me to eff over the progress of 6 other people just to get rid of a cheater.

They say that it's okay that he cheats because he kept to himself and never talked about it.

My other raiding friends also told me what I did was a really bad idea.

So now the group that was going so well is breaking apart and it's my fault, however I don't think I did anything wrong, cheating is forbidden by the ToS.

Not saying they didn't lie, but the fact that they had a static and it fell apart and NOW they are doing PF does make sense lmao.

people are requiring proof of reaching a specific point in the fight when PF players are notorious for not reading PF descriptions and lying about their prog points? say it ain't so!

So are you asking the community to do something here? Or expecting SE to? Because I don't really see what SE could do. PF is a community thing and the behavior there outside of anything that breaks ToS I don't see is something SE could really take any action on.

I did read the whole post and if someone's actually mentioned fflogs in their PF and there is proof in game, yeah, report that. Some people get clever with their PF entries and there isn't obvious proof that SE can go on.

Don't see anything else in there that SE can really do anything about.

if you really read the whole post you would have read the last 2 sentences
