random Duty Finder groups - Square Enix attitude solution INC

[Crica]

You would need to change it so the votes only occur as you leave the dungeon. Some people can be nice, until they have what they want. It is the politician style of politeness.

i agree - a pop up as i leave asking me to vote up my RANDOM party members if i personally feel they were kind and helpful would be the way to go with this

MVP is a bit of a waste, they would be better of creating a system that allowed communities to be made through multiple servers. so if there were friends that didn't want to transfer servers they could at least use Duty Finder to still play in dungeons.
Which is a pity cause from the way lodestone was explained it sounded as if at one point one would be able to find people through lodestone on different servers to do dungeons with and then use Duty Finder to do said dungeon.

With lodestone it could be very simple, the leader of the group sets up a dungeon they want to do, inputs the name of the player and the server they are on. said player receive a mog message from the player inviting them to join in a dungeon on duty finder, if they agree they are added to the DF list along with the leader that started it and once all player agreed to it then the dungeon will start up with players from other servers. (leader would only be able to send messages for DF to "friends" on their lodestone)

It just does feel like they are missing out on an opportunity to expand the communities by not allowing for a way for players to play again with one another on different servers which is why DF will see itself being used less and less often because of the randomness and the luck of getting people with manners to play with, one bad experience of waiting 30-45mins to start a dungeon just for a cocky player to bail the second it starts will easily turn off anyone from using it again in the future.

I think the solution is easier than that even.. They need an option to just Duty Finder with only people from your server. Yes you might have longer waits, but then your playing with your own community and plus you can just ban people that suck. I'm assuming the Duty Finder isn't going to pair you up with people on your blacklist -- problem solved. This creates more accountability of the player knowing if they screw the group over everyone is going to know and learn who the bad people are...

You may still get randomly get matched with players you know. But what I understand is that if you're queing with people you can't vote them up. It also means that 3 people randomising will have to vote up the 4th one

i have yet to be randomly matched with ANYONE i know - nor has anyone i know - no one has posted this happens to them - i seriously doubt this would happen so many times that ppl could abuse it

no one HAS to vote up anyone - the vote up is an option for ppl who WANT to if they FEEL that RANDOM player was kind and helpful

i understand players would like to play with friends

however, the Duty Finder is a tool that was created to help players, who have no friends ONLINE WHEN THEY ARE, be able to run group content anyway

to that end, the Duty Finder catering to RANDOM groups and not PRE MADE groups is the best way to do this

neither of those options are encouraging anyone to play nice and be helpful

they simply exclude players forever whom make a mistake

excluding players forever is just going to ensure there are less players to play with

encouraging players to play nice and be helpful is enabling the community to grow instead of become stagnant

My only fear is that DPS will not get voted up, while healers and Tanks will, due to role responsibility. Guess I will be SUPER NICE

or that people will beg for mvp.

since no one will personally benefit from up voting a RANDOM STRANGER, there is no incentive to up vote just a tank or a healer

players already beg for things they want, that is not a reason to not add things players want to a game

With no real repercussions I can't see this making people be less...problematic. Unless the MVP reward is that substantial. In which case then people will be upset on losing out on it. I dunno. I like the overall idea, I just think it needs a little more.
