My heart just fell totally...

I played wow

'Played' means you obviously don't know the state of it now.

[Kraggy]

LOL. It's funny how some people live in the delusion that any sizable percentage of the wow playerbase doesn't like this feature. It's false as it can get, and believin that "a large number of people" don't like something just because you (mistakenly) don't is a fallacy.

Played MOP? Seen what CRZ has done to the game?

No, then you don't know, yes, then you're the deluded one.

[Psykotsu]

No, they can't, and in fact in *every* MMO in which it has been implemented (it's most certanly not limited to WoW most MMOs have it nowadays), it didn't. It's just irrational fear of evolution from people that think being bored in a MMO is somehow a good thing.

I agree with this completely. People just seem to be attached to old ways I guess.

[Izariael]

I can see how a system like this could go poorly; it's all about the loot system, imo. I will applaud the fact that we'll all get to see some new faces, and see some interesting party dynamics! It'll keep things fresh, that's for sure

It did, you heard about hostess going bankrupt? No more good cupcakes = World ended.

Hostess made good cupcakes? News to me!

On topic:
Where was it stated that we're getting cross server zones? Last I heard, we only have a Content Finder, for dungeons.

This seems like another case of for forum poster who cried wolf. It's getting really old.

I'm curious...even if something like this gets implemented, how does that affect linkshells with set regular members and schedules? You aren't going to use content finder when you already have everything set.

This sounds more like for people who don't have a linkshell and still want to do content, in which case "You take what you can get."

This is a good point. This seems good for more casual players or even doing stuff between events to try and get ahead.

It doesn't affect them directly, but it can cause problems when you get a new and bigger playerbase, how will your linkshell expand if you can do everything without needing one? There would be little reason to join a linkshell when you can plop yourself in a queue and get paired up with whoever.

This is why if they decide to lay priority in content with people using content finder, linkshells won't really be like they were in XI and XIV, Free Companies will likely be the only form of in server organization in that matter depending on how SE handles it.

Exactly.

This feature is aimed towards people who either don't want to join big linkshells or don't want to commit to a solid schedule for a variety of reasons.

I'm gonna risk tossing out the 'C' word, but Casual players will reap the most benefit from this, while mid and hardcore players will still get the most out of their time with event linkshells.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather do events regularly with people that I know and trust, rather than be thrown into a mix of people who I don't know, potentially don't like and haven't done the event with.
