How to fix the duty finder

[Ryios]

First off, I think Item Level should not be forced, it should be the decision of the people queing up. To do that SE should make a better Duty Finder Options Menu with a better filter on it. E.g....

--Player Filter
Language-> JEDF (can select multiple)
Player Type -> Casual, HardCore (can select both)
Cutscenes -> Enabled, Disabled
Average Item Level -> 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, etc (Can select multiple)
Number of Tanks -> 1, 2
Number of Healers -> 1, 2
Healer Spread -> Check box "Prevents two whm, or two sch, etc"
Tank Spread -> Check box "Prevents two war, or two pld"
--Gear Filter
Need Disabled -> Checkbox, for gearing out alts

I agree with

"Player Type -> Casual, HardCore
Cutscenes -> Enabled, Disabled
Average Item Level -> 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, etc"

The other stuff seems like it'd be better off just shouting your own party as it would cause a huge enough separation you might never get in a party.

I agree with:

Player Type -> Casual, HardCore
Cutscenes -> Enabled, Disabled

Options making life hard. The waiting time will be wtf.

Who care's about the waiting time, it's the duty finder... It would only be bad waits for the people using it. If you don't want to wait, check all langauges, all item levels, and both cutscene boxes and que as fast as it is now.

Options don't make life hard, they make it easier. If your only option was to work 100 hours a week in a factory would that make your life hard or easy? If you were a programmer and your only options was to write code in notepad would that make you more or less efficient then if you had an IDE?

What it is, is people are lazy. Oh no, I had to click 3 things I don't understand, this is soooo harddd.

There is another way to fix duty finder. Get gear before you sign up. Fixed.

Some of those options will create bottle necks such as 1 or 2 tanks/healers and DPS/healer/tank preference.
I think Casual/Hardcore option would be by far the most helpful out of the things you listed.

Average Item Level -> 55, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, etc (Can select multiple)

Check


Come back after 2 hours and 45 Minutes into the que. "WTF!? Why Que take so long, this game sucks!" Rage quit!
On a serious note, Que as an DPS for Hard Mode primal, AK and WP is already long enough even with all the Language check. We don't need it to be more complicated and longer. But the Cut Scene on and Off is a good ideas. And how can the game differency the people form Hardcore and Casual when you have it check?

I too would love sitting in 5 hour queues.

They should add an optional Advanced tab that includes this information.

Or at least let us submit other group set-ups.
