Now make sure the crappy players read this and stop queing up until they don't suck.



Someone in AV last night actually asked (very politely, actually) for people not to queue up for BG's if they sucked, it was ruining ally chances to win lol.



I do that too. But it would be a small stretch to say that I do it politely.

The LFG tool was in way before 3.3. It was made useful at patch 3.3 yes.

Comparing the LFG tool that was there before 3.3 with the dungeon finder is like comparing apples with oranges, to be honest.

The "LFG Tool" "Random Dungeon Finder", whatever you want to call it, same thing, improved upon over and over is one of the reasons players are so bad. Well, ok... the reason you end up grouped with so many terribad players. Prior to this you formed your own group, which in itself generally weeded out the morons.

You formed the group, maybe starting with someone or a few people you knew. Expanding from there. Actually knowing how the get to the dungeon was generally a requirement! Unwilling to make your way there? You were replaced by someone who isn't a lazy douche. And people wonder why WoW's community sucks. It's because Blizzard has removed any reason for there to be one at all.

Paid Character Transfers/Name Changes + Random Dungeon Finder = Worst things to happen to WoW.

Except that it took almost an hour or longer sometimes to get your group formed, get everyone to the dungeon, and then get started. Lame. I want to play the video game, not build a bridge or start a business (that isn't making me money).

Rarely took me that long to form a group. Unless it was off hours, trying to form a group for some unpopular dungeon in the middle of the night.

30 mins, tops. Sounds similar to what DPS are currently waiting for a group anyways.

So, I missed your point apparently.

You definitely missed something, since a 30min queue for dps is a VERY good day.

Heh, well I generally Tank or Heal. And a friend and I do both of those roles in groups together.

Permanent insta queues! And I would give it all up for a removal of the LFG system, that's for sure. The LFG channel was cool for a while, until it turned into just another general/trade.

It's ok. Blizzard has just decided to build their game to cater to a certain subset of people instead of a wider range of people. Me personally, I am just not available to clock in to the game 6-8 hours a day every day on a regular basis. I have 5-6 weeks of work times depending on if the dump I get sent to has decent internet access or not or whether I live in a camp or in a hotel where I cannot play the game. Then I have a week or two where I can play a lot.

So, this lifestyle is not conducive to meeting people, friending them or guilding with them, then trying to follow up with later quick group formations. My comment was of course from my point of view and I didn't give enough information which is why you didn't get my point. My bad.
