random Duty Finder groups - Square Enix attitude solution INC

I'm glad someone understood my point, it can cause issues from those who feel their loyalty to friends or a group is being looked down on by SE.

Not to mention the psychological strain on the individual player (cognitive dissonance), or the social strain on such friend groups and networks.

The system will probably end up going through, but I hope they have some system in place that also rewards players that support their LS/FC/Friends. I wonder if a system was put in place that rewarded running as an FC/LS, would people that didn't run in such a manner, and did random groups instead, oppose to a separate system like this? Now they're 'forced' to support their FC/LS otherwise they miss out on minions/mounts etc.

Might actually be worth putting together a post/letter for Yoshi and the team about the psychological effects of cognitive dissonance, forcing friend groups apart, and all that other jazz.

I agree with you 100% on all aspects.

There are some who only play this game because of a group of friends, and maybe they talked that person into playing because they knew they could do everything together. They may not feel comfortable doing it with strangers, but now they are felt out of something (getting points for items etc) because doing it with their friends isn't good enough?



There should be some kind of recognition for being a friendly kind player that helps it's own, which is why we make up LS's and FC's. If they do impliment this and people enter a DF with people all from the same server, same LS or same FC there should be some kind of point or randomized voting equivalent given to them for supporting their own server.

In all honestly I have been against DF since it's inception, and I believe that it support's an anti-community outlook. No longer do people have to be polite, help people on their server and keep up a good reputation among them. No, now you can just queue and unlucky people have to deal with their attitudes and elitist thinking and players and proceed though the game. There is no responsibly held for people and their actions in this game, and because the DF is cross server and random it's hard to avoid those who do have bad reputations.

As for your last comment, that might be a good idea. Too bad we aren't on the same servers, it would be a pleasure to meet you in game.
