    Say no to Cross-world group finders

    Ok, on another thread regarding the implimentation of dungeons, a Dev commented on things which are yet to come.

    Also, while it won't be an easy task, we are also checking into the discussions for a cross-World instant party creation system.

    Please continue to leave feedback so that your time and experiences while tackling dungeon-related content in the future can be enjoyable!
    Now, I for one am excited about dungeons being added, maybe even something to the description of a raid to.

    howver I cannot put into reasonable (and polite) words how much of a bad idea I (and others) consider the cross-world group finder is. I shall save you a wall of text and bullet point, in short, why this is not popular amongst many players.

    1) It destroys communities: With the mix and match cross world system, it will destroy the union between players from their own world. It will be like 5k players playing their own solo games

    2) gives oportunity for ninja's:

    With less responsability for player reputations, you can and will come across people who see this as an invitation to take advantage of the situation and rob the party of everything they worked for.
    However, this does have a flip side and gives some players the chance to shout "ninja" every time they do not get their own way, regardless of what may occour.

    3) player conduct: Again, with less responsabilities for player reputations. Cross-world groups makes people think they have a right to pretty much treat everyone else like dirt. No amount of racist, homophobic, sexist or otherwise derogitory name calling (often having the F word seperate every other word) has gone unheard when this feature has been implimented in other games.

    4) It has been tried, and has failed:

    In other games, this feature is VERY unpopular, and has often made players leave said MMO's. I will not give the names, but i am pretty sure we each have our own examples of this. So, if it has failed and is unpopular in other games (often for reason above) why is it going to be implimented here?

    (if i have missed any other reason, please state it and i shall add it to the list )

    ***************

    Now, I'm sure there are players who do wish to see this implimented. With that in mind, consider this as an invite to show your side of the discussion. No doubt there are some points I have not considered, you may be able to swing a few votes with a well constructed response

    For those of you who think like myself, why don't we use this chance to see if we can perhaps give SE an alternative. Lets stew some ideas together and come up with something mind-blowing, it blows cross-world groups out the skies
