Eventual Party Finder/Dungeon Finder?

[Vafilor]

For those of you who have played WoW you're aware of the Dungeon Finder feature they had added a while back. For those of you who don't know about it, I'll detail it on the bottom of this post, so please check there.

What would you guys think of a Party Finder, that is, separate from a Dungeon Finder, but akin to the Dungeon Finder in WoW.

So something along these lines:

• Queue into Party Finder from Menu, anywhere in the world
• Cross server scan for people your level to form a party
• Teleport to a special party instance
• Battle monsters

Note: Purely to find a party, not for dungeons, that would be the Dungeon Finder.
(Though I suppose if its a special instance it is ~technically~ a dungeon finder.)

Of course there could be slight adjustments/additions to this, say, do you want a light or heavy party, put in the classes you are willing to level, special rewards for using the feature, etc.

Although a Dungeon Finder would accomplish much the same thing, as the dungeons are seemingly time capped, it may be viable to have a simple party finder. The instance could be a special area where there is more than one party. Just something to allow players to easily find a party and battle a bit.

This is largely in response to FFXI, where sometimes it took hours to find a party, who knows it might be completely fruitless in FFXIV. Although if FFXI did add this right now... that would be pretty amazing.

Dungeon Finder in WoW

In WoW, you (or a group of people, say 4) can queue up for a Random Dungeon, in your level range, from your menu (anywhere in the world), or a specific dungeon if you prefer. Then the client examines cross server for other people in a similar level range also in queue, and tries to form a party of a Tank, Healer, and 3 Damage Dealers (That's the usual party in WoW), who then get instantly teleported to the dungeon, and fight their way through. They also receive a special reward for completing the dungeon, granted they kill a certain boss. Such as a random, decent equipment piece, or later on, special points used for items/whatnot.
