My concerns about a "worldless model" what are yours?

Like I've said before, for me it isn't the fact that the person is from another server. I could care less about that. My problem will be if we get insta-ported to dungeons all over the world, a la WoW. I play games like this to get into the world and experience the lore (especially Final Fantasy, come on). I want to "touch it and feel it."

I agree with you, but as someone said either in this thread or many of the others ones like it (grumbles), it's possible SE will make us traverse to the dungeon and queue just the same. (of course this is being added as a means of convenience so that may not happen)

The LFD functionality of WoW is outside of the world. They can't even be bothered to say "hey you can acquire this newfangled device that the Gnomes invented which utilizes a search network for adventurers, then magically teleports you all to a location together." I hope I am making sense? The way it is set up is just this random menu, disconnected from the fantasy of the world...

So I don't think I'm asking for too much, make it a cool quest to acquire this Content Finder and ground it within the lore of Eorzea.

Yup, I would be totally Ok if you had to run to the dungeon entrance and talk to an NPC or use a magiteck device to look for players.

A random in uldah who is a dush, or ninjas gear, or anything of the sort, would soon be labled, and known as such.

Yea and two weeks later everybody would have forgoten, what happens to a small group of 8 people or 1 LS even is not going to get very far.

And personally I am tired of listening to gossip in these games, people can make up just as much bullshit about someone as they can tell the truth.
