Petition: Don't implement Content Finder!

[fusional]

There is a significant reasonable concern that this feature will result in people doing nothing but stand around town. It has happened in every game that has ever implemented this feature.

and this concern is ass-backwards logic. people already stand around in ul'dah all damn day because if they leave they won't see party/primal/dungeon/AF shouts.

furthermore, i played WoW before and after implementation of content finder. people did their dailies and farming and whatever either way, but if anything content finder freed people up to go out and do whatever random crap they wanted to do at any time because they could simultaneously que up while questing/farming/whatever

and how does it kill a community? people still raid primarily with guilds/friends. it also makes it easier for people who don't have a guild or friends that can help them with raid content to find pick up groups to get it done.

(and besides- this game already has a pretty godawful community, so...)

i don't follow your reasoning whatsoever.

Maybe on Rabanstre Durandal.

Community over here is pretty great.

Selbina->Ridill has one of the best communities I've found on an MMO since my XI days when I was on the single worst server FFXI had. But then Selbina/Ridill is the only server that is named specifically for FFXI in any MMO I've played which is probably why. It really makes a difference playing with a majority of people who share your taste in MMO's.

From the horror stories I've heard about some of the other FFXIV servers I doubt I'd use a content finder to play with them (though I'm sure they all have their share of good people too). Even though this goes against what I personally like in MMO's (building communities etc.), I'd be fine with them adding it for instanced content for those who struggle to socialize in-game.

I do think though that a lot of people here won't use it for fear of a certain type of player that has become associated with this type of thing in games like WoW, and that will just lead to the content finder being overcrowded with them.

i'm basing our community sucking on these forums and how much people will find an excuse to cry over absolutely any/every tiny little thing, not my own server
