What is up with the DF community?

GW2's community - at least on Tarnished Coast, is/was pretty much a beacon of how a community should be..

I don't agree, but it at least wasn't as bad as i saw in the first Guild Wars. I felt it was about the same as WoW community wise. I do wonder how people would view the communities of games without dungeon finders if they added them. It's not the tools fault, it just lets people run into those they probably wouldn't before.

Well, GW2 has a DF now, but it's structured differently (basically the same as GW2LFG). In GW2 you are able to create an "LFG" that allows you to leave notes and therefore specify the kind of player you're after (ie. speed runners, whether the group plans to do multiple paths, etc).

FF14's DF causes friction because it lumps people together randomly - it throws speed-runners in with newbies amongst it's many sins. So in response to your post, I wonder how people in games with auto-assembling dungeon finders would view their communities if they could be more selective in their party's and goals, like in GW2
