Dungeon Finder WHY NOT-

I honestly do not get it.. How is Easy to get a party for said content "bad"? I mean what if this "content finder" just places you into a group of 8 people and then you just go there like you normally would, and not be plopped there? Of course people are going to use it, because its easier to do that, rather than to search for people. But there also something that people fail to see:

-For Harder content, people aren't going just "Get random people and wing it" they will use the PC search to search within there server, or have their own Linkshell to tackle the hader content down. That much is fact.
-For Exp, the only way to get Via Content finder is through dungeon content ( which we all know is pointless, but hey some people will use it for that as well, but its not the most Optimal way of getting exp.)
-For Exp parties, People will do what they would normally do "Use PC search to find people within their server to exp all around Eorzea.
-Frontlines (PvP) is Non-Instanced ( They are making it in a way that enemies won't interfere with non-participating players, so Content finder will most likely won't be used for this)

The only thing Content finder will be used for honestly is for the High-end content (sometimes). I say sometimes because some content.. you just can't do it with random members, so you have to do it within your home server, where you know everyone and what they do, to really get any of that accomplished.

Content Finder will only really be used if:

-Content is Easy enough to tackle down Via Random people
-If People dont have enough time to looking for "awesome people" and just want to get in a quick match before doing there real life duties or have other things planned.
-People that are impatient to find people on their Server, so they resort to content finder
-If it takes to long to finder people Via PC Search to do Content that's easy enough to tackle down with random people they will use it.

I been thinking about this all this morning while over my aunts house Drinking Coffee and randomly talking about it, I got her laughing a lot :P, All of what I said was me thinking for a couple of hours trying to find pros and cons.. but really there's isn't any cons.. You have to realize that there is going to be a lot of potential players of all types, not everyone is going to use content finder. Some people will use it some people won't, but its only made for Dungeons/Primals. If we all start out at lvl 1, we will be exploring the world as normal, because Content finder is made for.. well content! Exping isn't really content.. its just leveling up from point A to point B that's it.

In Conclusion, Content finder won't disrupt the balance of the community that some people say, because it's only ment for Easy/medium hard content (If people choose to use it for that). However, the harder content, I do not foresee people using the Content finder to get Random people to do hard content, unless they just want to kill time.

These are my thoughts for today on Content Finder!

Content finder to allow input of information such as class, job, and level, to find other players across all
worlds for groups for dungeons, instanced raids, primal battles, etc.

So is this weeks't theme content finder?

Last week was instancing, week before that was anima. What'll be next week's theme?

Seems like its the same theme every week.

I wish the moderators would kick some ass and ban some people who make threads about the same issue, these forums are getting worse by the day.

This is a pretty good compromise, I think.

"We never know what we had until we lose it"

"We can't know what the future holds unless we step forward" It can go both ways.

I don't really know how I feel about it (so I'll refrain from voting). On the other hand, I'm sure this wouldn't make me stop interacting with my LS mates and friends, nor will it make me stop interacting with strangers on my own server.

In Red are the Key words here, Regular Leveling, is done Normally, Content Finder is for Easy/Medium stuff that you can do randomly. Hard stuff its highly unlikely people will use Content Finder.

In Blue, "Across all worlds" meaning the Content "HAS" to be instanced to fall under this Category. Reguardless if its Instanced or not, if they just randomly group you together and then you have to go there yourself.. its the same as just using PC search and get people lol.

Hey Starlord,

I thought we were agreeing with each other but now I'm a little confused. I will just refer to my post on this page, since I think this more properly explains my position on the subject (last post of the page):

It won't make you stop interacting with other player's but it will make you stop interacting with newer player's and current players that you don't really know as much because---- they will be afk searching for a party and return when a party is found- not like your going to send a random tell to someone standing there -.- OR ARE YOU? lol
