I just meant for the duty finder.... u won't have to play with 400-500 ping if you make premade groups etc, but i think those of us lvlings alts is quite painful when queues pass the 30-40 minute mark, I would rather do 4-man dungeons with a slight chance of high ping instead of waiting 30-40 mins imho.
