Question to players

[Vstarstruck]

Would your opinion be any different if this idea was only applied to Expert?

No, and I have a story someone told me as for why.

First off if new people only go with new people they will not learn or get to see what skilled players can do. Even at 70, entering expert has huge skill gaps. Now If this person in question entered the highest dungeon of expert, The drowned city of Skalla, that person would not be spoken to on how important having foul and at least i300 weapon entering an ilevel 300 dungon. The only way a person is going to learn it is not acceptable is to be told they need to do their level 70 quest and be removed from the dungeon since they are not ready for it. Other new players would be unable to explain and make a decision like that.

So this idea of trying pair up people with skill is no good, it does not help anyone other then newer players hitting unsub because dungeons take too long and is too hard. Here is another good post why it is a bad idea:

No. The idea of a preformed party is that you play with like-minded players. If you only want like-minded, go preformed, simples.

There's legitimate players who play with disability, or any other disadvantage, so they can't perform as effectively as other players even if they tried their best. So pairing them with someone who doesn't try isn't fair on a player who does try. As has been mentioned people do commonly play with several classes so it wouldn't really be an effective system based on that alone. What about friends that play together? One is of a 'bronze' ranking, and the other of a 'gold' ranking. Some people play simply to play with friends regardless of how skilled, or unskilled they may be.

More importantly, it's a casual gaming experience so there's no need to attach a ranking system which would only further divide a community of players very heavily. Again, if you only want to play with like-minded people then you setup a preformed party for the majority of content you take seriously, you save both sides of the party the unpleasant experience. I play to enjoy myself, and a passtime when I have nothing better to do, so whether a dungeon takes 15 minutes or 30 minutes, matters not. Whether I 1 shot a difficult trial, or whether it requires several attempts.

Again, the last thing an MMO needs IMO, especially one aimed for a casual playerbase is a divide in communities thanks to a leaderboard.

Do you supposed 'golden boys and girls' wish to divide queues? Bear in mind, that you'd be in the minority, and not majority. Have fun with that experience.
