Petition: Don't implement Content Finder!

[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.

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?

Maybe you can wrap YOUR shriveled pea brain around this: What's stopping me from selecting that I speak EN, JP, FR, etc...? Becuase that is what the search goes by: What each individual CLAIMS as languages they speak. Just because you use search for say EN players, doesn't mean they all speak EN. They may only think they know enough to get by.

In FFXI I flagged myself as EN/JP for search because it helped me get parties during JP peak hours. I didn't speak a lick of JP. But if that flag wasn't up I wouldn't have gotten those invites.

And furthermore: some content requires one person to have multiple classes/jobs. The search function isn't that good.

Next time why don't you think before you type. maybe you won't make yourself look like an idiot when try to talk down to someone who already thought three steps ahead of you.

How is this a content-finder unique problem? You can do this now and suffer the consequences later when you get in a group.

And furthermore: some content requires one person to have multiple classes/jobs. The search function isn't that good.

Are you saying it's also impossible that with the content finder, the search system will be re-done to allow you to flag multiple classes that you want to use (hint: WOW lets you do this)? Are you saying that they'd implement the content finder with everything as-is? Are you that dumb?

let me tell u guys whats really going to happen if content finder gets introduced
if content finder is used a lot
lazy is going to take over, its going to happen, don't say it wont because it will. everything, expect for a few high lvl dungeons where a random pt wont do, will be used for it. need a party fast? content finder. Need to do an old quest done? Content finder. Need to get AF gear? need to get past a specific point in a story mission? Content finder. Running DD toto-rak etc? content finder it.

the only quests people wont use it for would be something like NM hunting stuff, and thats 100% the truth.
the above helps the low lvl players catch up and running people though story missions will not be necessary anymore which is a good thing and a bad thing

anyone else see the problem this will do to the server communities?
i wouldn't have a single reason to talk to anyone from my server for 90% of the game, all i gotta do is wait in town till everything gets sorted out by the server software.

true it helps if i leave ff14 for a couple months and need to get back on track, but in the long run people will rely to much on it and it will hurt and not help.

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.

I already mentioned RealID and unique tags so you can continue to chat across server and possibly even party again if the features are implemented

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??????

Yea because this can't happen if I shout in Ul'dah right ?

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

In my time playng WoW (yes I know I mention this game far too much) I met plenty of friendly and capable people using content finder, sure there were bad eggs also but you just take the rough with the smooth.

You sound like a capable person.. Friendly not so much.. I'm not sure I would want to be stuck in a party with someone barking orders at me, I've had that happen a few times, its just as bad as someone who can't play for shit.

BTW servers are up.
