Using LFG is frustrating for all of us. Casuals and MLG pros alike do not enjoy using a PC, phone or tablet to find teams for their console game... nonetheless we do.
A way of spending less time on a LFG forum is to list as many specific requirements for your team as possible, in an effort to get like-minded players on your team. This has been done over the years in several ways. There are emblem, weapons, class, skill, education, k/d, completions... etc etc etc.
What I am bringing to you now is absolutely the best way to double check if you have a competent team, after you have formed your team of 6 to attack the raid of your choice.
When the team has been formed put your cursor over each guardian and hit triangle. After doing this you will be brought to their characters profile screen. Glance your eyes over at their primary and see if it is exotic. If it is do not panic JUST yet... see if it is one of those fancy new "adept weapons." If it is, hit circle (PS4 users of course) and go back to the screen where you can select that same player.
Boot him from your team immediately. Now this can be done in 2 ways. You can either boot from party first then game, or vice versa. I prefer the ladder. I however would not recommend explaining yourself. It is a waste of your time, and the new teams time that you are responsible for. Boot that player without hesitation and do not ask why.
These players that think adding an element to an already existing legendary raid makes it a better choice than oh say, any other exotic heavy, spindle, or malice situationally. This is a downright hindrance on most raid groups from LFG and I think we should shun them from our society entirely.
Feel free to discuss. Please please bump and speak amongst yourselves in game and on forums to help raise awareness.
It is not ok to use exotic adept weapons in raids. Repeat it to yourself, and repeat it to everyone you meet.
Hell us fight the real fight guardians.
Edit: In spirit of many below sharing their raid requirement posts:
400 valor in darkness emblem
Must know mechanics intimately and know how to DPS most efficiently
Adults only
I really have no pity if someone joins my party after I take the time to spell all that out.

3 AntwortenI start every raid with an exotic primary. Vog: adept word of crota. Great for minotaurs and works just fine up to confluxes CE: zhalo will always be my weapon of choice for the abyss. KF: adept fatebringer is great for running mid to kill centurions. WotM: outbreak prime. Best weapon up to siege engine imo. Remember. You [b]can[/b] switch weapons anytime.

1 AntwortenI don't care what weapons people use as long as they can use them effectively... If you have a weapon thats better for a particular encounter and can make the whole encounter easier and faster fir the whole group then be courteous and use it please. If your holding us back and refuse to adjust we simply kick that person and grab another. Too many people on lfg wanting to get shit done to mess around with people that want to hold you back.

2 AntwortenHope I never raid with "you need this" players agains. I know wtf I'm doing with what I have. I'll use what I want/need to make the encounter smooth. At the same time it's alway those players who require stuff that don't have the right super, or sleeper, or aren't using the correct exotic. Example: this Titan invited me to VoG and asked that I have sleeper and didn't have it or ghorn. He and his team also tried to clown me because I was using saints- 14 on my Titan for the temp part.....really. Your are not a real Titan and you all sound like noobs (they were lol). Also got mad because his team started to listen to me on how to complete the challenge. We beat it and he thinks it was because of him. So I left after that part. Best of luck. Another time I was running NF with a hunter and a warlock(had my hunter, blade dancer). They both were 385 no big deal. They talked so much shit about me for using BD until we got to the final boss (The W eye... Yeah). I alway use BD to stay alive when my team dies in NF. Shut them the -blam!- up. Those dumb asses were running void and golden gun. Know your shit before you speak.

1 AntwortenI use them. I don't ALWAYS use them, but I use them from time to time. Mostly in Strikes with burns.
-
I only ask 390 + since it's the light requirement for the activity. Weapon-wise, I tend to ask if they got a good dps set-up.
-
2 Antworten[i]It's okay though, I use the legendary Sleeper Simulant. My exotic primary is just fine.[/i]
-
1 AntwortenSad thing is no-one needs any of the adept raid primaries for the raid. The legendary versions still have perks like Oracle damage, which are not even needed. Whoever kills Oryx with Zaouli's Bane had my respect.
-
i usually put this, works almost every time 395+ have the emblem no kids

Fireteam member says "Criley888 we need to boot this player from our team!" Criley888 runs off, comes back with a ladder. Food for thought Criley888: You are allowed to swap weapons during various stages of a raid. Criley888 looks up bewildered: Really?

4 AntwortenI'll run what I want, when I want. Kicking me actually saves me from starting a raid with a complete douche.

7 AntwortenBearbeitet von Sideswipe: 5/10/2017 11:45:29 AMSo I just came from a NF and before I get around to changing my loadout, you're gonna boot me? And be secretive about it? Dafuq? Here's an idea: if you're gonna be controlling about people's loadouts, at least [b][i][u]be a MAN[/u][/i][/b] about and confront them. "Are you going to switch from that Adept primary? Cause if not, your gone."

"I prefer the 'ladder'. " What's your PSN so I can block you?
-
You say you spent all that time "spelling it out..... Yet, between two options of kicking, you prefer the "ladder" LOL.

2 AntwortenIf I'm using Ex Machina~ and If Materia~ then I might use my Adept Vision of Confluence, as I don't have a normal one yet. What then?

I ran King's Fall yesterday using Fang of Ir Yût until I completed a Queen's Wrath bounty. Do you know what happened? Nothing. We completed the raid with no damage issues. I have the Valor in Darkness emblem. I've completed King's Fall well over 100 times. I have no issues whatsoever with you making your own requirements, as long as you're up front with it. It's your team. I just think that requirement is silly. You seriously may be booting an asset.

3 AntwortenIf you don't have the shader specific to that raid, I'm booting you.

1 AntwortenRaid completions > every other criteria including weapons
-
I've seen some bad raid posts recently, but this might actually be the worst.
-
I don't know. I'll generally play with anything I want. I've been known to play with the adept fatebringer. Shit. I went thru oryx with the first curse the other day. Start to finish. Raids are pretty easy and the better raiders know that. Plus, I generally take the relic, sword, relic. So my weapons change accordingly.
-
1 AntwortenYou would boot someone from a Raid because they had a weapon equipped FROM A RAID? You truly are an idiot.
-
3 AntwortenYou are cancer. Your going to boot players that are better than you because they have a different load out you want? 6 people in a raid group it's better to have some variation.
-
2 AntwortenSorry but I run what I want when I want true I use this weapon here but I mainly run what I want so don't tell me what to run and what not to run

3 AntwortenI raided with a guy the other day. We were at vosik and were having some issues. I inspected him and noticed he had all blue weapons and was running a sidearm. I asked if he had a sniper he could put on. He said, and I quote, "no". We gave him a chance but after about 2 hours of wiping at Aksis phase one I finally had to boot him.
