Content Finder

[Jinko]

Myself and many others are dreading the arrival of a content finder. Being forced to use a system because its the easy route which majority will take, reducing servers to barren dead wastelands where everyone just afk in town while in que.

Isn't much different than we have right now, people AFK on bots or just crafting in general.

It's all about consequences. If I'm from another server and am tanking Baat with your dungeon finder group, and MPK everyone in the party right before he dies (with my best friend's assistance), leave you all dead, kick you from the party, pop the chests and leave, what are you gonna do? Get on the forums and complain? lulz. Maybe 10 people from my actual server will notice.

It's for SE to provide a system where the leader can't just kick someone on a whim then, as I mentioned above WoW requires a majority vote from all players in the party to kick someone.

I dunno what peoples problem is really, you can still make friends on your own server and do content in linkshell, I know this will be my prefered avenue when making a party, but in those times when you just can't find the 7th or 8th person or just want to log in and do something quick, content finder is awesome.

I don't see this any different that shouting for a random in Ul'dah, you could end up with a complete Ahole or someone nice, the only difference is perhaps you can't be friends afterwards but like I say plenty more people to be friends with on your own server.

What we have now is about as far away from a healthy a thriving MMO with a larger playbase you can come though.
And one can assume the idea behind 2.0 relaunch aims to remedy that by rekindling the public intresst in the game and recruting alot of new players to populate the servers.

Thats besides the point, chances are this game will never be huge like WoW so the chances of meeting the same person more than twice in a content finder would be much higher.

As Sylvari said above if SE have something like RealID players can keep in touch with one another even if they are on different servers, I'm sure they could programme it to even play with that person again if you wanted.

It's 2012 gaming and servers in general are a lot more open than they used to be.

It's innovative idea's like cross server content finders that blur the lines and will eventually allows all to play together regardless of server.
