    Viritess I'm not sure if anyone is suggesting that the Content Finder not allow people to find groups for content though some of the responses do sound like they think pick-up groups shouldn't be able to accomplish this content. I don't know why they would think that way though.

    Its just one of a few trends i've seen in content finder discussions that seemed to be showing a bit here in replies so i thought i'd state my opinion on the matter.

    Bring on the hard stuff by all means. But i wouldn't mind seeing quality players randomly put to gether beat something hard either. In some ways thats part of the fun of randomness in grouping.

    Depending on how random it actually is it can be pretty neat to actually defeat something you went into thinking "I don't know anyone here...and we may have a less then optimum build for this fight". When the boss actually drops dead its a good but slightly different feeling.

    Being humans we can settle into habits where we try to make a standard when we play, either a specific party build, or specific people and theres nothing wrong with that. I enjoy it too. But i also enjoy some times being put into a tough fight, with people i don't know, and didn't hand pick and seeing if we can work it out and win!

    Not to mention that Content finders are actually a good teaching tool for new players. Some people don't have the patience to do so. Some folks take offence to advice, but some really appritiate it and its alot more fun to learn something new while your playing.

    I think using pickup groups with content finder should just be looked at and taken differently then a static or LS group in my opinion. Everyone wants to win. And everyone should be trying their best but expectations should be tempered by the use of such a tool.

    Just my opinion, i don't mean to offend anyone.
