It's the people, the kindness, the friendliness, and the good-natured community of players in MMORPG that keeps me coming back for more. I do not believe in automatic grouping system. I prefer to spend an hour to communicate with players that WILL become my party members, even though it's just for a short day of mission or dungeon. I would hate to randomly be thrown into a party or forced by the system to group up with an asshole.

The days when MMO's where like that are long done, if that's what you enjoy you should consider FF11, SE have said time and time again they want FFXIV to be casual friendly, so of course they are going to have group finders and things to make playing the game more open to casual play.

Then don't. Spend that hour and form the group outside of the tool, using whatever resources you have available to you--linkshells, friends' lists, creeping on people over /tell, whatever you want. You have that option, and a lot of people take advantage of it so they can play with a few friends or people from their server, using the tool to fill out the rest; the rest would rather go about their in-game day, letting the tool assemble the group on their behalf.
