Dual spec is very important but group finder is more important, hopefully they'll be able to get dual spec in before 1.4, then they'll need to focus everything they've got to implement cross server queueing.

Dual or multi spec is nice, but not a must. There are plenty of games that are making good money and do not have this feature. I think what the OP meant was "It is a must in order to be more like WoW/Rift". At which point, I am all for keeping this game as far away from being like THOSE games as possable.

Here comes the hour long Q's!

With everybody only filling 1 role in the finder, expect Q's to take forever because you are gonna be waiting for the all important tank for hours! I sure as hell wont be paying tonz of credits to re-spec every time the group needs a healer or a dps depending.

What you mean popular and making money? The problem with this game is its trying so hard not to be like wow/rift that its bleeding subscribers.

Oh and puting in A Group finder is another step in the direction of becoming more like wow and rift!

LFG can be replaced by General Chat if you are willing to chat in the general channel. Just that.
See ppl keep shouting in general chat like LF1M need Healer, need Tank repeatedly for 30 minutes?
There is nothing can replace it unless you find someone who can really help to heal or tank.
Still pretty high chance you end up with 3 ppl queuing for hours waiting for the last heal/tank spot to fill up even with an LFG tool.
If you think Dual Spec can wait and LFG is much more importaint, you are probably one of the 3 waiting in the queue for the last spot to be filled up. Now you will shout in general chat LF1M while in the LFG queue.
Many part of the game is still in the state of Vanilla or at most TBC of WoW and it has been years since then, yet they don't think it is a serious problem.. that's why ppl are leaving.

Dual spec doesnt help casuals, its actually making the whole situation for them even worse.

People will start demanding that you have 2 specs, that you have the exact specīs like some pro gamer and ofc. can play both perfectly. If you dont "kick".

You guys never played wow?

As more options get in the game, as more casuals need to work - its been always like that

Personally I think that the most important feature still is ranked pvp, solo & group. Thats why people are leaving and not because of DF or Dualspec.

They already do this. They will just tell you to respec the hard way.

Dual spec is because you need one spec for PvP and one spec for PvE. So you don't split the game in 1/2 and force players who want to do both to spend an ungodly amount of crdiets to do it.
