Dungeon Finder

[Onidemon]

So I think it's time we tried to 'nip this problem in this bud' before it gets out of hand. Automatic dungeon finders are terrible systems. And yet it's something Yoshi mentioned he might implement sometime in the future. And you know Yoshi, when he gets a bad idea in his head, he usually just goes and implements it without warning anyone (e.g., mob size increase, autoattack, removal of mob behaviour, aggro icon, etc.).

So let's make sure he knows it's a bad idea this time before it's too late.

An automatic dungeon finder is at odds with the philosophy of a massively multiplayer game. It makes it so that all players essentially end up doing is queueing in town for a dungeon. It turns the whole gameworld into an entrance lobby for the real content (dungeons/raids), and we shouldn't allow that.

Plus I'm not really a fan of being teleported between content that has nothing really to do with eachother.

I'm sure there are people in Rift and WoW who don't even know where the dungeons are because they never had to explore or run there, they just got automatically teleported into it through the dungeon-finder mechanic.

And it's especially crap when it's a cross-server mechanic, allowing you to interact with people you will never see again. You can just imagine the type of etiquette involved between people who have no reputation at stake.

When did he say he "may"? i Thought it was a fact. Dungeon finders are great, you obviously haven't used this feature yet. The work to implement it is already under way or even done by now and it's not by making a thousand threads on the same subject that they will change their mind. The only time S-E care about our opinion is when they do polls, period. If they were to listen to everyone out here, they would spend their time removing and adding features left and right.

Don't be afraid of change, it's a good thing.
