Vote system with multiple choices (More versatile than you think!)

[Souljacker]

If SE designs another repeatable dungeon with the amount of CS's littered throughout as they did this content I will be very shocked indeed. I don't think we will see this happen again. It's caused too many issues and threads - like this one. We don't need a vote system. We need repeatable content to have a less obnoxious design.

Or... people could just communicate with the chat system already in place.

who in their right mind would do such a thing?

I've never had these arguments you're speaking of...

If you want specific types of runs, make a Party Finder group, not a duty finder. You can isolate the same credentials in a PF that you want in your vote options.

"Complete Run of Dungeon X"
"Speed Run of Dungeon X"
"Doing Dungeon X - no cutscenes"

Also, if you are struggling to have these conversations as an FC, perhaps the FC should rethink their existence.

If you have never been in one of the aforementioned arguments then I commend you for being more mature then most. However take a look at some of threads in the forums outside this one and you can see what I am talking about. Players need something iron clad to point to and say "ok. that is the plan then."
As for the party finder, it has one big weakness: it only recruits players from your own server. if the duty finder had the check boxes like the party finder has, it would probably render much of my idea obsolete.

Remember, FCs can have up to 512 members at once. That can get noisy. A multi-choice vote feature that the leader can whip out to cut through the noise would be very useful.

Mature adults. Unfortunately, that doesn't describe all the players in this game.

Voting when you have 30+ people (Dynamis and HNM's in FFXI) makes sense.

Voting when you have at most 8 people is just un-nessary. Just say something.

Man I am so sick of people who do ready checks in 4 person parties.
