    Ah, i'm reminded of when wow did not have a dungeon finder.

    Me: "I want to do a dungeon "
    Me: *spams LFG chat for a 30 minutes*
    -A person is interested, and joins the group-
    Me: *spams LFG chat for another 30 minutes*
    -First person gets bored and leaves-
    -I get a second person requesting to join, but they see it's just me in the party, so they also leave-

    Ah, but when i did get a group, the bonds i forged that day lasted about a month.

True, others will have reasons for not really wanting to do this...but I think that learning to socialize with different types of people and growing past people's awkward/stunted social skills (or growing past them yourself) is a very good thing to do.
    That doesn't help with anxiety, and voice chat can be an utter mess without a goal (like clearing content). Nothing like the new guy to the guild lusting after that girl he heard! Everyone loves the drama.

    Before I was here, I was on a MMO without DF. First month, DPS could get a party. Next month, took some waiting but was doable. After? You had to beg guild mates to power you through.. And then not even tanks/healers could get in. No thanks.

    why do people think "Server with unique code" would be easy?

    I've done programming with popular gaming computer languages such as C++ and Ruby. I can't imagine it being difficult at all.

    "Gaming computer languages" and "C++" don't belong in the same sentence.

    And for the record, the original World of Warcraft was written in C. Old school C.

    well they were the top a few years back. I know developers in japan preferred Ruby. Maybe not so much online games. Point being, with my time programming video games, it doesn't seem difficult to say, disable a script or code associated with the DF. To create something new and implementing it yes. To disable, return a nil, whatever, not so much.

    My point was that it's not a gaming language.

    Iirc, Windows was written in C at one point. There is no programming language out there used exclusively for programming games. C++ is common, but its got more use elsewhere.
