Why cant we queue to golden saucer attractions from anywhere?

[Zojha]

If queuing for dungeons required people to be on location at the dungeon entrance, that's what people would do, so long as they found that content, or more specifically, the rewards, worth their time.

Indeed. But dungeon participation would most certainly go down, because you can no longer quest, FATE or gather while you wait in queue. Especially as DPS, that's a large amount of time you'd spend doing absolutely nothing. You get the travel time on top, all of which now has to be compensated by the dungeon. So without changing dungeon rewards to match, dungeon participation would go down, as per your own argument.

As for precedents...we could ask Blizzard how their looking for group history has worked out. They pretty much went from "Gather people yourself, then walk all the way to the dungeon entrance on foot" to what we have right now:"Queue for anything from anywhere". I wonder what the reasons might have been.


You know...when I think about it, I'm surprised SE didn't actually enforce being at the dungeon. It's a great way to waste player time, and oh so subtle.
