Duty finder is a double edged sword.

Honestly it probably does more harm than good. It forces a bunch of strangers together and trusts that they know what they are doing, have the right gear, are willing to communicate, etc... Given a handful of CM PUGs over the last week I can tell ya there are lot of nasty inconsiderate people playing FFXIV:ARR.

In the old MMO days these people would have been left behind and shunned by Guilds but in the new age of casual solo lameness they are pushed through the system, leveled up and then pollute the game from the top down.

I wish they never added it, then people would be forced to find a good FC early on which would make their gaming lives much better and more social...
