Dungeon Finder Needed Badly

This was answered already, so let me ask you:

If every server had been merged into just one server, would you still be against cross-server LFG?

No because I would have all the single-server functionality I want.
- Friends
- Forming groups without the tool
- Finding guilds via playing

Of course it would still be better to at least segregate the super-server into 4 slightly less super but still massive servers: PvE, PvP, RP-PvE, and RP-PvP.

If there were only super-servers like that, I can imagine the complaints would still come in only instead of Cross-Server being the cause of all evil, it would be "There are too many people in my MMO! I don't know them all and so they're probably bad."

That's a mischaracterization of the anti-cross-server complaints I think, although if you were joking I can understand the frustration.

It is true that part of the problem of cross-server is you get a very large pool of people for the "jerks to hide in". But by itself that isn't the objection - at least not in my case anyway.

All of the horror stories of xserver PUGs from other games essentially derive from the fact that you can't really (or couldn't as of the last time I dealt with them) form lasting friendships over multiple play sessions with anyone. You see by doing that you eventually could build up a vibrant list of "good players" from which to form your groups, or find a guild to join to tackle multi-group content. It would allow you to eventually reach a point where even if you had to use the tool to PUG someone in they would be the minority and you could get rid of them if they proved to be truly catastrophic.

Lacking the ability to do any of that in the cross-server tools when I was in those games you were permanently stuck in the "no quality control" mode of PUGing. Worse due to the high probability you wouldn't be grouped with anyone from your server there was no meeting cool people to guild with (either to invite them or be invited by them). Sure you could join a "pickup guild" by asking about it in /trade in one of the WoW cities - but compared to finding the guild by playing with them approach this was lacking in quality control as well.

Group the servers together by type, allow for cross-server friending of specific characters, allow for cross-server communication and group forming, and allow for free transfers to other servers of the same type and I would absolutely be on board with a cross-server tool. Of course at this point it really wouldn't be a cross-server tool at all... it would be a single-server tool with the actual servers being little more than "channels" that characters live in for a time.

I was only partly joking. People will hate something for the sake of hating.

There are so many horror stories about Cross Server because those complaining will makes themselves ten times louder than anyone giving praise.

Ummm?? Is that a trick question?? If all the servers are merged into one server.. Why would need or how could have a cross server LFG system??

I don't think we need a cross server LFG either.. For the reasons that myself and others have stated..

Your denial doesn't make any of those horror stories any less true.. Many people disagree with you for a reason.. We all lived through the catastrophy on WOW.. You blowing us off and calling us haters doesn't change the facts or the truth..

A cross server LFG system has the potential to do some real harm to the game.. It also isn't good for the community..

So that went a bit over your head huh?

Oh the humanity!! Won't somebody please think of the community?!

Not at all.. Sorry you missed the humor in it..
