    So your saying that you would like to be placed in a dungeon queue with no idea who your getting paired up with? Even if you actually wanna complete whatever content your queing for? Even if people use content finder just to troll other servers because they are bored and play bad on purpose? Even though you might literally get paired with the 7 most idiotic people in the universe?

    I guess if your a masochist then you might enjoy that. Personally I would rather invite people I KNOW on my server, who I have at least partied with before, or something, and even if they aren't that great can invest some time into helping them improve. Randoming with possible derps that i might never see again to clear dungeon x is not my idea of fun.

    Yo call it being an elitist snob, I call it logic.

    These are things that are not unique to a content finder. You can run across all of these people by playing on your own server as well. You can kick them, you can leave, or you can try to educate them; same as you would without cross-realm play. Are you that much of a cynical, anti-social clod that you can't take the occasional bad player in your groups? How do you function in real life, man?

    And what would stop you from doing that with content finder implemented? It's not like they're throwing out the current ways of finding groups.

    Content finder for me would be used to fill spots that I couldn't find a 7th or 8th person for.

    You are right that I would always choose Linkshell and Friends before using a content finder, yes thats just common sense, but in some situations maybe I can't find a full party or nobody is on at the time I'm playing.

    In WoW I used to get as many Guild members together and then join the Content Finder to find the last person/s, not everyone wants to wait around for 3-4 hours shouting Ul'dah ya know.

    P.s. I wasn't really replying to what you said, more the way you said it.

    Edit:- Oh yea I forgot to mention that not all random players are nubs, every time I shout in Ul'dah there is a high chance I could meet an idiot player.
