Content Finder

"When sending the request you can do whatever you want until the party is formed and once formed you will get an announcement so you press a button to teleport and start inside the dungeon."

Yoshida-san please reconsider. Why go through all the trouble of designing a world that players will want to be in and enjoy inhabiting when you're going to allow us to blink in and out of content without actually passing through the world.

I can see many people reaching endgame and barely leaving their inn room let alone whatever major city they inhabit. They'll log in, get their gear prepped then go through content finder and teleport to whatever they want to do, then appear back in the city and that's it.

Leading to a lack of people traveling in the world. Which leads to a world that feels empty and static.

My compromise, since I do realize this kinda of feature is meant for people short on time, is to teleport the player to the nearest aetheryte to the desired content. Make them travel from there. Its likely that it won't be all that long of a trip. It keeps players moving about the world and it still saves large amounts of travel time.

A great many players petitioned long and hard to get the world remade. I don't see the sense in this besides the fact that the content finder in WoW has it. Its not necessary to this degree please reconsider.

And don't even get me started on this little number: For the notification feature by clicking the content in the list can you teleport to the entrance of that content?
Y: In future it’s highly possible that’s how it will be but at present time it’s not made to do that much. If it’s quest it will open up the map and displays the location and stuff like that. This will also be implemented at launch.

Content Finder works across worlds/servers.
People from different servers can not meet in the open world, but can only meet in instances (or perhaps more specifically within a dungeon).
So the only way for the entire party to assemble together is when they are in the same dungeon.
To ensure everyone is in the same dungeon they have to be teleported to the same dungeon.

It sounds like this is a side-effect of having cross-world content finder (or perhaps, a limitation of not having one server for everyone in the world, granted that may be too difficult to manage).

The plus side of course is, that people can more easily find others to do activities with.

The concern is that people within the same server (even LS/Company) will use this as a method to quickly teleport from place to place and never leave their guild halls.

It would be nice if it could restrict the teleport of people until the people are at the entrance of their respective dungeon. For example, if everyone was at the entrance of CC in their respective servers, then hit 'teleport' and then were teleported into the dungeon.

Agreed I would be quite happy if it worked this way, and I agree with your logic that it is likely a limitation. The thought had occurred to me but I thought I'd complain anyways to get people talking..... Guess it didn't work too well lol

If you do not like it, do not use it.
