How to make" good group finder list" to get skillful DD player for Endless Archive?

One day, I met CP700 great DD, and next time I met CP1000 low skill terrible DD player.
CP amount limitation is useless to get nice DD.

Simply put, you cannot. When you group with randos, their skill level is not something you have any control over.

Yup! CP is a participation prize indicating very little...

You might try something like "must be able to solo herald seekers" or something like that...

Thanks. Good idea.

I would ask for an arc 4+ run. If you're looking for a tank, I would also specify "no fake tanks". People who change their role to tank for an easy dungeon, but who are really DDs, may forget when they are subsequently accepting a tank listing for EA.

There is probably some achievement you might look for. I think there is one for having completed arc 4, e.g. the Tho'at fight with the dragon. You could also ask for Flawless Conqueror (vMA no death run) or something like that.

It is common practice when vet trial groups are formed to ask for the Conqueror achievement for the trial in question. I like group leaders who check the achievement and who remove players from the group who don't have it, or who don't accept such players in the first place. It doesn't guarantee a good group, but it makes for a better group on average. Achievements have dates. You can usually infer whether they are genuine, or not.

Exactly I would rather have a dd with decent damage and survivability in Endless Archive then someone who can do 120k dps on a dummy but cant take any damage.

Yeah, good idea. There is one for killing all 3 marauders but I don't remember what it's called.

After I do this, only experienced player come to me without CP limitation.
I think ZOS must make role certification small quest to make the group finder healthy.

its been stated numerous times in numerous threads that adding role certification would hurt the queue more than help

and if you are using the group finder (listing your own group), then turn off the auto accept application and review the people who are applying to be in your group and pick the one you want

if you leave auto accept on, it just accepts the first person who applies and because archive is a 2 player activity it automatically unlists the group finder group
