The ultra important of being able to ban people cross-server in dutyfinder

hello this is my first and most likely my only post to this game, i would like to share
my feedback on your duty finder system which has caused me so much pain and grief
heres a few pointers:
1. people leave after 1-2 wipes and you cant blacklist them
2. 10 year olds thinks its fun to ruin groups in dutyfinder by acting as idiots
3. people use very strong words against each other as soon as there is any problem

all in all you can see the problem right? you cannot blacklist these people and there is
no function to make sure that you never play with them again in dutyfinder
this is why i must leave this otherwise excellent game, i simply cannot stand
this sort of lack of simple social features.
i know some people asked for this a year ago already, but you didnt listen then and you probably wont listen then
too bad i subscribed for half a year, ohwell the game looked really good at first but now its unbearable even with the expansion around the corner

later

I'd rather see the player commendation system extended so that DF will prioritize matching players that the player has played with before AND has commended. Blacklists are slipperly slopes where someone goes "oh so-and-so is a jerkface", then that so-and-so gets blacklisted from all servers by people who never even played with them. Allegations untrue or not.

You act like every duty you ever queue for is going to have same people in it. The odds of getting the same person multiple times is rather small, unless you are doing something like frontlines where the playerbase for certain GCs/Datacenter is small.

I'd rather blacklist unpleasant people who are from a different server than blacklisting players who leave after 1-2 wipes. Leaving after 1-2 wipes does not make someone unpleasant.

If anything, it's more courteous to leave quietly than it is to stay and be grouchy and unpleasant.

Depends on the content. For most stuff it's not a problem to replace them, but when you've been in que for 50 minutes for SCOB and someone leaves after one wipe (thus forcing the entire raid to disband because no healer or tank will ever join up) it is quite obnoxious.

If one person leaves more people leave generally and it is usually easier to remake it. You also can do PF if you want to specify how many runs you wish to do if you don't want to do the fight as tank or heals.

Only Coil and the Extreme Primals ever do this. Good luck getting a DF party, and if you queue multiple times because of "wipe=ditch" you'll inevitably get the same tanks and healers, and maybe one of the same DPS. I could see the patience wearing thin if the same Tanks/Healers keep getting the same DPS repeatedly.

In one example of T5, I got the same tank MT twice, and the OT was new both times. The first time the MT explained everything, the second time the vote to abandon came up after the second wipe without any explanations.

10 year olds are probably more mature than the majority of adults.

Seeing as you are leaving: bye

But to the point: Even blacklisting someone will not make sure you will not be put in the same group with that person again. I personally had multiple instances that someone from my blacklist (aka same server) was put in a roulette with me.

And to be honest - if you cant forget about the bad seeds and move on it is probably best you move on from this genre - in any game that needs multiple human beings to complete content you will run in those from time to time. You deal with it, or you avoid it. That's not meant to be an insult, just a friendly reminder coming from 15 years of MMO experience

Gl wherever you land next ('-')/

Getting paired with somebody i have had bad experiences with is so rare these days that i just leave because i don't want to deal with it. I can just do something else for 30 minutes the rare chance it happens. In a raid like CT/WoD/ST it;s not so bad because there are so many people i don't really need to care about them but in a normal party when i know they are a constant problem i just can't be bothered.

In the early days of the game it was a bigger issue because there were only a couple of dungeons to spam for tomes and nothing else no raids until CT came along and only the HM primals for relic so i saw people a lot more often especially in AK DF runs. There was one Tank i really hated because he was so arrogant and comes with a DPS friend up his backside because of the fast queue times and i saw that pair loads in AK for a while. I did have the misfortune of running into them again more recently and they had not changed. Just refuse to run with people who you don't get along with the idea of making a cross server blacklist is not even possible.

That's another good point. I DF and PF stuff all the time and the number of times that I've had bad experiences has been very, very small compared to the good ones. If it's constantly happening to you, you might want to stop and examine whether or not you're contributing to it in any way. After all, the only common denominator there is you.

You mean people have to blame themselves? Nooo it can't possibly be anything to do with them >.>. A lot of the people who whine the most about this kind of thing that all players are mean to them usually have something bad about them something like that they are not very good and take criticism badly to a point they are always having arguments with people. You can't just put the blinders on and block out all criticism at some point you need to look at it and think "Okay what am i doing wrong and how can i improve?"

LOL, I think I said the same thing ages ago.

To quote the Eagles, "You can check out anytime you like- but you can never leave"

We'll see you later.
