random Duty Finder groups - Square Enix attitude solution INC

2. Someone relatively new enters the dungeon, and doesn't do so well. They aren't a bad player or have a poor attitude, they just aren't top notch. Doesn't get a vote so you don't have to queue with someone 'new/inexperienced'.

I disagree with this. Personally I don't really go around all the time catering to new people. Why? Because there will always be a new person. It's like working at a job where people constantly quit and you constantly retrain new help, I just don't do it. As such I think it would be ideal if new people got paired with new people. The system I am promoting here would do that overtime. The people that want to be speed runners and not slowed down for cutscenes you name it, would be running together. If they are not it's because they are not deemed worthy and have not been upvoted. Now I'm not saying I don't help new people at all, but I'd prefer to run dungeons with mostly experienced people and let the new people run with new people and figure it out on their own just like we did at game launch.

Secondly, as this system has no penalties atm... All you can do is move up. And dps won't be ignored. People will make it a point to vote for everyone that did ok or didn't cause a problem. As a tank I value a good dps just as well as a healer. DPS checks are in a lot of these encounters, as such DPS will get voted up.

And when it comes to farming philo and myth tomes, nothing matters in the group more than amazing dps. The better your dps is, the faster you clear the dungeon and faster clears = more philo myth in a smaller time frame.

And if you are running with your own group, thats the penalty you take. That's why I said you'd want to use DF to get DPS or a healer or something. As long as 1 person from the DF is in the group they can vote you up and you can vote them up. Or just use DF till you get voted up.

And obviously this setup wouldn't apply to Castrum, Preatorium, or Binding Coil.
