My concerns about a "worldless model" what are yours?

This 100 times this !!

Make a half LS party half content finder group.

How anyone thinks that a random in Ul'dah is going to be any different than a random on another server is beyond me.

There is the same chance of meeting an Ahole, the same chance that person maybe a noob, maybe a ninja looter etc etc blady blah blah.

People need to stop coming up with strawman arguments about this stuff.

Like I've said before, for me it isn't the fact that the person is from another server. I could care less about that. My problem will be if we get insta-ported to dungeons all over the world, a la WoW. I play games like this to get into the world and experience the lore (especially Final Fantasy, come on). I want to "touch it and feel it."

The LFD functionality of WoW is outside of the world. They can't even be bothered to say "hey you can acquire this newfangled device that the Gnomes invented which utilizes a search network for adventurers, then magically teleports you all to a location together." I hope I am making sense? The way it is set up is just this random menu, disconnected from the fantasy of the world...

So I don't think I'm asking for too much, make it a cool quest to acquire this Content Finder and ground it within the lore of Eorzea.

I agree with you, but as someone said either in this thread or many of the others ones like it (grumbles), it's possible SE will make us traverse to the dungeon and queue just the same. (of course this is being added as a means of convenience so that may not happen)

Yup, I would be totally Ok if you had to run to the dungeon entrance and talk to an NPC or use a magiteck device to look for players.

A random in uldah who is a dush, or ninjas gear, or anything of the sort, would soon be labled, and known as such.

Yea and two weeks later everybody would have forgoten, what happens to a small group of 8 people or 1 LS even is not going to get very far.

And personally I am tired of listening to gossip in these games, people can make up just as much bullshit about someone as they can tell the truth.

You do realize that you will teleport to the crystal and from there walk a big maximum of 5min. Is that 5min worth the 1h wait to find a group? Besides, when it is your 20th time doing the dungeon, would you still care about doing that 5min walk and seeing the same stuff over and over? When you party with your LS you can walk all you want together, nothing will force you to teleport anywhere.

...or use a magiteck device to look for players.

YESSS this, so this. The Adventurer's Guild has gone through great lengths to steal us a copy of the Empire's Content Finder device. "Many Bothans died to bring us this information..." Now if we can only bring them a repaired transistor, they can give us our very own!

No dude you missed the point I was trying to convey. I don't care so much about the convenience of the system, whether or not I have to walk, etc. I care about the system fitting logically within the game world!

Explain how it doesn't fit with the game's world, or actually do you even know what the world's world is? As this is a 2.0 feature and 2.0 will be drastically different from what you have now, so how can you say it won't fit?
