    If a party invites me before i get setup with the content finder then i don't care, it's all the same for me. Anyways most people play with their LS so content finder will be more for the casuals.
    But what we're saying is it will not only make partying easier, it will also change the layout and world structure of the game. . . for the worse. Everything will be instanced. It won't even really be a proper MMO anymore. It will be Vindictus, only not as fun.

    How will it change the layout of the world? How is it gonna make everything instanced?! I think you didn't get the concept of content finder. It is the same as the dungeon finder tool in WOW. It will help you find people for dungeons which are already instanced.

    The only thing it will change is that you won't have to walk to the dungeon entrance anymore and with Anima it's not gonna be a huge difference.

    Well that's an assumption, and one which suggests heavy instancing anyway, thereby affecting the layout of the world. People shouldn't be teleported to a dungeon entrance also, that's just stupid. Besides, the new dev quote on content finder suggests it's trans-world partying for more than just dungeons.

    It will be for dungeons, and raids and wtv is gonna be instanced anyways. It's no assumption, it's a fact. WOW didn't have it before, they added it later and nothing changed in the layout of the world. Being Cross-server or within the same server makes 0 difference, you got your LS if you need friends.

    If they wouldn't add it, the only difference would be that it would take a lot more time to find a party, 1h+. A lot will get frustrated by then and give up on finding a PT and log off. You will teleport anyways to the damn crystal regardless of the content finder tool or not, and then walk for an extra 2 min from the crystal to the dungeon entrance. Does that make such a big difference that they remove that 2 min of walk?

    Plus with this you can re-queue right away and find another PT in minutes. Now you would need to seek another party and if you are lucky spend only 1h finding one.
