I disagree with "forcing" big party formations as the primary way to form group.

No one is forcing you to use the duty finder and you shouldn't be suggesting to force us not to.

Your primary mode of forming a party is YOUR choice, even now. If you like to group up with familiar faces, do it.

The duty finder benefits the casual player who wants to queue up, craft a little, pop into the dungeon when the party is formed.

Wanting to force players to spend time forming a group themselves on the fly, especially those without an active FC, is going back to the dark days of "JP-onry" and "monks need not apply" parties in FFXI. That system only brought out the worst in elitists.

As it is now, all players have a choice to form their own party or take a stab through the finder. No change needed.
