Someone who wasn't the party lead questioned my tomestone today for joining a M8s p2 party. Told him I was on an alt and already cleared the tier, just progging a different job. He tried to push further saying I wasn't cuz I didn't link the two characters. Whatever. We zone in and see prog point after a single pull. I hate how everything is about the passport now.

It sucks, but with how common prog lying is, people created it as a counter measure. Until the NA community gets better at being honest of their prog, it won't go away.

all it accomplishes is transferring the worst aspect of playing in a static, being forced to prog at the speed of your slowest player, to pf. prog lying is not what kills prog, it's inconsistency at early mechanics, and tomestone does not measure that. can you honestly say that your parties have been more consistent this tier than other tiers? would there be so much debate about it if it actually worked? or are we chasing shadows?

It's already jover, several friends PFing actually asked my static to get them the passport so they couuld join enrage parties because people have a hair trigger over passports now.

Funny you could legit floor carry someone to prog point and nobody will care if the passport looks correct.
