Say no to Cross-world group finders

[snowstriker]

So really what we should be saying is say no to automated parties for dungeons. Now THAT I can get around. While it's fun in a game like let's say Vindictus, imo anyway, that can be disastrous in a game like FFXIV especially if some of those dungeons need coordination that would be uber frustrating.

Right, I just want to avoid a situation like in WoW:

-Sitting around town, I turn on the dungeon finder saying I'm a DPS
-A few minutes pass and I'm put in a party and automatically warped to the dungeon with my party
-No one says anything, we just mindlessly go through the dungeon (much like behest atm)
-Stuff drops, everyone's greedy, dungeon's done
-I'm warped back to exactly where I was when I started the search

I'm usually one for strong gameplay mechanics and features even if they break immersion, but DAMN that RIPS you out of the world like crazy and just seems like it's super easymode laziness

I'm against it.

And if SE "implement it and monitor it" they're absolute fools...................

No cross server partying.

Luckily... usually when they talk about "investigating", that means the possibility is low and they're basically saying it to placate the crowd.

No cross server partying unless they implement something that let us communicate with people in other server INGAME, i dont want no lodestone chat.

This was easily my biggest issue with WoW after they started implementing cross-realm instancing. Even though it solved some issues (especially for crappily managed low pop servers), it came at a pretty steep price as far as the community was concerned.

When they instanced PvP and brought in arenas as the sole focus of PvP progression, it completely destroyed the great PvP community the game used to have. Intense server-based PvP Guild rivalries disappeared when the e-sport sideshow was introduced, and after that it pretty much dissolved into solo-queueing to farm glorious honor points (or sit in the "AFKave" all day)

The current loot system prevents ninjaing.

Sure, this is what every MMO is turning into anyways. Not sure why casual players can't go play games intended for them or something -_-

Feel entitled much?

Anyways, have to respectfully disagree with the OP (you're entitled to your opinion). However, I think your argument is very one sided. You don't consider any positive effects of such a system, how it could actually be utilized by players, and the implementation of the system, which could be awfully different from what you expect.

I won't repeat my opinion. It's already in another thread, but I think we should approach this with a more open mind.

That IS what people are saying I don't how you're twisting it inside out. Cross-world auto grouping IS random otherwise it wouldn't be auto would it? read the dev comment first then argue.
