And that's perfectly fine =) It's just... If you end up with two people speaking English only (as seen in the party list and in the search info), and two people speaking German/French and English... Wouldn't the polite thing be to speak the one language they all have in common? Instead of the two people with a secondary option speaking that language instead of English?

My opinion is basically, "If you tick a language option, I expect you to be able to communicate at least passably in that language. If you can't, please don't tick it." Even if it's broken English, it's better than no English at all (and if the more fluent English-speaking people in that case refuse to use slightly easier words to help with the communication, then the problem is on their behalf).

No, that doesn't indicate their selection for the queue, only what languages the claim to be able to speak.

Why would one intentionally get longer queue time because they don't speak english and get paired to a smaller user pool. If it's bother you just use {Please use the auto-translate function.}

If you still are not happy with it, use PF ;)

...and this right here is one of the reasons I don't like to DF things on my own.

I hope you also provide them with a macro saying something along the lines of, "Sorry, don't speak any English, just ticked it for faster queues." ¬_¬

And yes, I'd love to PF my levelling and trial roulettes. Care to give an example of how that's done?
Edit: sorry for sounding overly bitchy there ^^; While it is something that annoys me, I don't want anyone to think I'm after anyone specific.

I find it very rude when people speak a language in chat that everyone doesnt understand. The reason I only tick english. And it truly annoys me when Im asking someone something and he/she cant reply.
So no I find it very legit.
I mean if they try to speak english but dont speak it well its okay. Because then they might want to learn communicate in english better etc. But searching english and speaking another language is rude and should be a legit reason to kick someone

I actually have the opposite problem... I click D, as I speak D (besser als ich shrieb D!) and always end up in groups full of E... when anyone bothers to communicate at all. Usually it's just a mad, helter-skelter run from the beginning to the end, with no one having the time or care to type even (Hello!) (Nice to meet you.)

I use all languages. Why?

- Faster queue times
- I want to meet people from other cultures (yes they play differently)
- I don't get annoyed by little things

I have no issue with people trying to get faster queues, it's just irritating when that kind of situation arises, and it does surprisingly often on my datacentre. Mostly due to a language group who are stereotyped (sadly pretty accurately) as being generally bad as well as refusing to speak English =P

What I really wanted to say was, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH DO NOT TICK "E". I only have E ticked because I want people to understand me in dungeons if we are having problems, but almost always I get the "sorry no enlis" when I try to explain why we just wiped or something

And people speak in french or german in chat. There's an option for that so I wish people would use it.
Or oor, we should be allowed to kick players who doesn't follow the language rule

---

Because Fuck people who speak spanish or something else, right?....

That's gonna be hard for E people on JP server. Unless they follow what JP people did in some duty, if not, prepare for vote kick for gaijin :p

Don't feel bad. I sat for over 80 minutes...on PLD...with all languages selected. It was for Syrcus Tower to finish the weekly. I actually forgot about it after a while. I completed a few Atma books then went to take a poop. I came back and was gonna queue for Trials Roulette when I saw I had Syrcus Tower still in queue, which was at 193 minutes by then. I then logged off and play DC Universe the rest of the night.

Unfortunately for you, it'll never be this way. You see, those who are of DPS main tend to use all means to get into content if they are running solo. By default, I have all messages selected for this reason for when I want to play BRD and NIN. 90% of the time, the group in DF isn't even talking.

That is too funny...I thought it was photoshopped at first.
