I hate posting in this thread, but I feel obligated to in order to show my support for the system...
I really can't wait for content finder. I hope it auto-groups parties forcing 1 of each job (+1WHM?) and locking everyone on it. Would be so much more fun than doing a BLM heavy group.
Having played some games with it, I can attest that it just makes things more accessible, and I really can't see how this ruins the game for anyone. Typically these things will let you group with your current party and just add randoms from any server, in any zone. Do you actually like that you have to waste so much time just to find that 8th person? Meanwhile on another server, someone is wanting to do the same fight but there's no group looking for members. There is absolutely no drawbacks to this system at all, especially considering the lower subscription rate at this point in time. If you want anyone else to start playing this game, how about not restricting them in stupid ways?
This is simply an improvement over shout groups, and would actually do a great deal to reduce shout spamming inWhitegUl'dah.
Also, maybe some instanced dungeons for each level range, easy/fun/short duration party for any level through content finder.
As for all these "If you don't like it, don't use it." That argument doesn't really hold water. Who cares, though. If you don't like it and want to play with people on the same server, go back to FFXI. This type of grouping has been improved upon and they're trying to add the improved method to this game so that it has a hope to succeed. If you don't like it, shout for 5 minutes and then use it. This way you get whoever from your server wants to do it and thats great, but you're not bogged down by having to find a full 8 for it.
Welcome to the internet; people expect instant results and restricting people needlessly when there's a way to provide instant grouping in this scenario is simply beyond stupid.
