Say yes to Cross-world group finder

[chime85]

Instead of just saying no, I think the people against cross-server grouping should list ideas to make it better or less "destructive" to the community. I think that's a more constructive idea.

Just listing people are mean or you'll run into noobs are not very strong arguments, because I run into those things now without cross-server grouping.

Why not, suggesting alternatives could be a great idea. Why not say a simply (in-world) search with a few basic parameters.

1: class choices (you can fill up to seven choices. but of course you are shooting yourself in the foot here)

2: physical level (say, default is 3 levels either way of yours

3: class rank (same params as physical level)

4: choose one of your current quests from a list (if any, there could be an option for simply grinding, leves or behest, or even leave this blank)

5: additional comments: a small paragraph you can fill in if you wish, explaining a little more about your needs.

Edit: it will form a list and you can /tell the people on that list. no need to commit, no need to leave a party if its not to your liking. The legwork is done and you already are communicating in a possitive way with someone on your own server

++++++++++

given time, it will form a party, already you are communicating across the world.

(after all the hellos are done)

/p <name1> ok, lets meet in <location>

/p<name 2-8> ok, on my way to <location>

simple but effective

This is very similar to the search function we have now. Your system and the current one could be applied to cross-server grouping.

Let people put in search parameters and let them talk to each other before hand and things should work out.

Don't worry to much about it Mr. Hedgehog. This argument is as one sided and boring as:

1. No to jumping.
2. Yes to hardcore(easymode FFXI timesink) game play.
3. No to helm hiding.
4. No to superior western MMO genre advancements.
5. No to instanced dungeons.
6. No to combat logs.

Anytime the best arguments presented for or against a change relate to "my sense of immersion" "community" "realism" or "my feelings" all that can be done by sane people is too let it go.

Blizzard handed SE, on a silver plater, the best possible way to keep a game focused on group play, they ignored it at launch when enough people played to have single server ques work and now are shifting gears towards this. I don't support it but only because i still hate them for not doing it right in the first place.

You should know by now that people on these forums are anything but constructive.

1) Being put into an auto-party will often lead to unbalanced or unoptimized party setups, just like in FFXI.

2) what's the purpose of having individual servers if this crap becomes available, aside from the obvious tech issues?

3) What about server pride?

If they are going to do something like this, please don't make it automated. It always has and always will lead to problems.
