Petition: Don't implement Content Finder!

[StateAlchemist]

So, it's settled...you won't use it! No need to continue being upset by it!

HURRAY, PROGRESS!

I'm glad your not upset anymore, you were killin' my good mood.

I was upset before?

Ever spent 1+ hours just trying to find 4 people for a quest that literally takes minutes to accomplish? Or tried gathering 8 people for an af run that also would be finished within a couple of minutes? Did you ever ask for help in all your linkshells and received no answer, not even a "sorry, no time", because everyone is too occupied with his own stuff to help you?

No I haven't. But then again I have a good Linkshell with a wide range of members in different time zones that are online a lot and don't mind helping others. I recommend you find one of those after the merge.

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.

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.

You said there was no need to be upset anymore. Since I wasn't upset I figured you must be talking about yourself.

I think content finder. As well as other such tools are a very good idea. I think one thing that sucked about XI was trying to find people to do things with. tools such as these help get rid of that bad building block.

But you were. You don't have to be physically mad because of it, but the idea of a content finder upset you enough to belittle people who aren't you.

[StateAlchemist]

I think the main isssue here is either low server population or lack of decent social skills. Because seriously... I have one linkshell. ONE. We help each other out. We stay up late or don't sleep sometimes to help members out. Is there no linkshell like that on your servers? If so that is sad indeed. You really need to look around and try to find a helpful LS. As far as needing an 8th for something... at least if you find that person on YOUR SERVER you can befriend them and they can join your shell and come with you regularly. Why would you want to pick up some completely random person from server x and HOPE that A) They speak your language, B)Have a Job/Class you need, C)Are not a total idiot who happened to wonder into someones house and is facerolling the keyboard, D) Have stable neough connection to not DC during whatever...etc??????

I cannot possibly comprehend why anyone would want to subject themselves to the plethera of crap that is more likely to wrong then right.

So your psychic? You know how I am feeling and I don't? lol Your silly.

A) They speak your language, B)Have a Job/Class you need, C)Are not a total idiot who happened to wonder into someones house and is facerolling the keyboard, D) Have stable neough connection to not DC during whatever...etc??????

This is an issue every time you pick up a random person, whether it's via content finder or traditional grouping methods. Current searches already allow you to filter by language spoken and class; why would it be any different for content finder? Can you not wrap your shriveled pea brain around these ideas?
