Content Finder

Chiyo is a girls name in Japan. (I just assumed i guess)

Sonic Adventure was one of the best Sonics ever and that was 3D, other Sonic games sucked because Sega got lazy.

I know what you are saying I prefer old school turn based RPG's like FF6-10, I don't like 12 or 13 because the combat has been automated and is much more realtime.

The fact remains that SE changed the games in a way they thought was best as old school turn based games aren't the standard anymore.

It's exactly what I am talking about, FF11 was an old school game which has no place in todays market, that is why you will be hard pressed to find new games that play like FF11, UO and EQ1.

If SE wants to implement this feature, they need only make one alteration to the standard format of the Content Finder. Do not let the player who are auto-grouped be teleported right into the instance. This one simple change will undo all of the damage Content Finders have done to ever other game they have ever been implemented in.

I'd agree with that they could have an NPC outside each dungeon that you could join a queue though, good idea.

Chances are if you wait outside a dungeon you will find others from your server naturally anyway, just like we do right now with Moogle and Ifrit.

If SE add a looking for party icon to players name tags then it will further help the situation, both system can co-exist.

And thats my point, todays MMORPGs are more and more turning away from what made the genre and instead gets closer and closer to resembling facebook casual gaming.
While it might bring a bigger market there is still a market for thoose that actualy enjoy the older style of it, and there is only so much room for a handful of successfull MMOs following a very similar formula.
Same backlash you can see from todays popular shooters, which are all pretty much the same deal, more and more reviewers and gamer forums state they would welcome a return to the old style of it.

Companies see the success of gamse such as WoW and MW and try to copy it to their best of their abilites, and while thoose games sells in millions their competition just doesnt have all that much success in comparison.

Especialy true in video games is that just because something is popular it doesn't make everything thats different from it inferior, otherwise we'd all be playing some kind of version of Farmville right now.
