Hello,
The current Party Finder (PF) system can be frustrating due to misinformation, inconsistent skill levels, and toxicity. A common issue is players joining "prog" parties while claiming more experience than they actually have. This creates unbalanced groups, wasted time, and hostility.
To improve the experience, I suggest a new Party Finder filter that allows players to set and filter by the highest boss HP percentage they’ve personally reached during a specific encounter.
How It Works?
- When creating a PF, the leader can set a "Minimum Progress Requirement" (e.g., 30%, 10%, 5% HP).
- Only players who have reached that specific HP percentage or lower can see/join the PF.
- This data is automatically tracked by the game, similar to how clear status is currently logged.
This ensures everyone in the group has legitimate, similar experience with the fight.
This feature empowers players, builds trust, and ultimately improves FFXIV’s community reputation. It's not about gatekeeping, it's about fair matchmaking and creating healthier party environments.
Thanks for reading, and I hope the devs consider implementing this quality-of-life improvement.
