Dungeon Finder System - Whats the problem?

[Vaer]

I say just deal with the dungeon finder. Whenever a "new MMO" released there are the exact same arguments as being said right now against AND for dungeon finder. This sounds like something YoshiP will not change his mind on. It benefits low population servers and non-peak server time activity. The benefits must outweigh the risks in YoshiP's mind.

All they have to do to promote community is add something like Blizzard's RealID (You don't have to show your full name anymore, battletags allows a username now) party. Say what you want about WoW, but that is an example of a great feature. It allows you to party with people on other servers of the same faction (no factions on FFXIV currently so this limitation doesn't exist at the moment) if you have them on your RealID list and queue for battlegrounds/dungeons/previous raid tiers together. You can still talk to them if they are the opposite faction. Made friends with someone doing a dungeon run? Ask them for their "RealID" details/authorization.

Besides, from what the community reps are saying, this is just for "instanced raids," this game won't completely turn into a lobby and queue game. Need more clarification on this feature.
