Content Finder

[Buuul]

Problem with this logic is, like anima you'll have to use it even if you don't like or want to use it. Why? Because what if you're that person who dislikes anima and teleportation to everywhere, you get a party invite and decline their teleport offer because you'd rather chocobo/ride your (x millionth cloned chocobo mount) to the party location because of your feelings and then making your party wait probably up to 20 minutes or more?

You signed up for a party to experience some sort of game content. If you want to take a 20 minute chocobo ride somewhere, might I suggest doing that anytime you feel like it, when people aren't depending on you.

Seriously, how funny would it have been in FF11 - "Ok, let's do Promyvion - Dem. I'll cast teleport Dem and take us there."

"Naw man, I'm taking a choco from Jeuno. I don't believe in this teleport nonsense. Actually, never mind that. I'm walking!"

Don't like PvP? You better hope and pray you never leave the newbie locations or level into auto-PvP range (Usually when you hit level 20+ you can be PK'd or asked/forced into a duel.) So yes it is pretty simple. Depending on what systems they incorporate into XIV, shouting, "linkshell/company only" content would be moot if everyone rather uses the easier option (content finder.)

I'm fairly confident that this game isn't going that route. PvP is going to be limited to actual events that you willingly sign up for, not random attacks from players.

Seriously though, the bottom line is that allowing casual players the option to experience the game's content is not taking anything away from your gaming experience. You can still go do the content with your LS. Personally, a content-finder wouldn't affect me in any way at all - the only dungeon or primal fights I have ever done were with my LS, and that'll likely stay that way.
