Hi there! Don Quack here! First off screw punctuation and all that jazz.

This helpful guide will show you how to play how you want all you want all day long.
Playing how you want can encompass many different play styles, builds, armour sets, dyes, and costumes. Thus the first steps are the most important.

1. Decide what you want to do.
2. Decide how you want to do it.
2a. Decide how others will do it with you.
—————————-
Example

1. I want to do CM Path 2.
2. I want to kill everyone because I want cloth and the feeling of accomplishment.
2a. I dont mind if those that join dont know what to do as I can teach them but they must wear green and be running condition damage armour. I also dont want ele’s or Engi’s because they make me lag horrifically.
—————————-

The third and commonly forgotten step is….
3.Enter the dungeon before you list
3.a Select path before you list

Example

—————————-

This next step is also quite crucial to proper Playing How I Want.

4. Listing the LFG

Listing the lfg can be a tumultuous task but I will break things down for you.

4a. Most importantly list what you are doing
4b. List requirements
4c. List restrictions
4d. Everything else

One must not forget to try to keep the lfg posting concise as one that is too long can scare away potential party members.

Example
—————————-
CM Path 2 Must Wear Green+ have Condi damage armour(ping armour) No Ele/Engi. *KILLING ALL*

—————————-

Once your party is filled and you have enforced to the best of your ability compliance to your listed lfg ensure the party knows:

You are leader.
Thy will be done in Party
Have fun* *as long as said fun coincides with your fun and doesn’t disrupt it.

Now onto the bad things ;(

Eventually someone will join your group that doesnt want to play how you want.
Kick said individual IMMEDIATELY. Feel no remorse. You were merely insuring that your way of play is safe. If he wants to play differently he can make his own group.

After all what are groups? Likeminded people who come together to do something.

have fun!

The real question is how much do you have to put in LFG description?

You are making way too many assumptions in your example. You assume that everybody wants rewards, everybody wants to kill enemies, be polite, move, loot, complete the path, etc… That is a broad generalisation.

If only more people would ACTUALLY do this. Instead, they like to go into such groups and do whatever (i.e. joining “zerker only” groups and pinging zerker gear while actually wearing soldiers) which leads to cries of “elitism” and “L2P NOOB!!” But yes I agree whole heartedly. CREATE YOUR OWN LFG AND DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH IT!!!

@Darox
Yes there are some assumptions, however those assumptions are based on a player making a specific LFG and those joining said LFG are of a like mind and want to do the samething as the one who started the LFG. Which is a very valid assumption. The problem that the OP is refering to is people getting upset they are getting kicked from specific playstyle LFGs because they don’t want to play the way to LFG creater does. The creater has every right to kick those that are not following the requirements as stated in the LFG.

“You know what the chain of command is?
It’s the chain I beat you with until you
recognize my command!”
