    They way it normally works Firon is you select the role you want to play, So Tank, DD or Healer and then get stuck in a queue.

    I mean the classes i'm looking for. You know the first party search we had i like that one but no one would use it. The old search i could say i wanted 3 Pgl 4 THMs and a Gla to join my pt and only those classes join, no more than 3 pgl and 4 thm's and 1 gla.

    Yea I doubt it will work that way, I imagine they will keep it as roles so it makes it fair across the board.

    It will probably mean less stacking of specific jobs, of course people can switch jobs once they are in the instance after some discussion.

    Its not like what we had previously either.

    You click a button > click the role(s) you want to play > everyone gets put in a queue > server matches up 1 tank, 5 DD and 2 healers > enter dungeon.

    This is what we have now Se could make the best content finder if they tweaked this one right.

    Even tho this pic sucks you can set what area you want to be in but not the content, but you can set how many of what class you want in the pic i have 1 Gla 2 cnj and 1 pgl and 3 thm's.

    Yea that thing is a convoluted mess tbh, there is no reason to enter in what you are looking for or what levels as the content will define it most of the time.

    Most likely they would not let you do that because of class discrimination and class stacking which they wouldn't want. The goal is to get everyone though the queue fast.

    I'm sure that would just make peeps stop using the finder when they could shout for the classes they want.

    No, people would use it because the game would automatically match you up with people in like a couple min as opposed staying in 1 town shouting for people for like an hour to do the same thing the cross server finder could do in a min or two.

    A min or two if your'e a tank or healer, up to half a hour to an hour if youre a DD.
    Like in WoW you'll see tanks selling their que spot for loads of gold so the DD get a chance to get faster que times.
