You act like instanced content is free of flaws.
Not saying it's not flawed at all. Just saying it's leaps and bounds better than XI's endgame system. Even the instanced stuff wasn't instanced. It was just areas you could lock others out of.

Staring at my screen for 3+ hours hoping my group got claim just for the chance to roll the RNG dice to see if the crao drop rates actually were in our favor just sucked out loud.


Want to lowman the new dungeon? Too bad you "Require" more members than you have. Shout for members on your server? Please nobody wants to play with people on the same server. Want to try any open-world content with strangers? That's a shame everyone else is qued up for instanced content and wants cross server players they will never see again.
I'll agree the minimum restrictions are silly for entrance. But this dungeon finder thing is being blown way out of proportion. It's really a self-defeating argument because:

A) It will be successful, everyone will use it and will get to run the content of their choosing.

or

B) It will fail, no one will use it and we'll go back to shouting like we always have.

If the issue is not being able to find the same folks again, it can easily be suggested to allow a cross-server invite system through the dungeon finder.
