The WoW one was very nice in the last expansions for those "kill a world boss" event or something.<br />I think I'm just not patient enough for this "LFM xxx" and then waiting, I'd rather just not do the quest than waste an hour sitting and trying to get people - but I'm in the lucky position that there's hardly any group content I *need* :PNogamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541775026595839236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-65600261327934449082018-10-28T17:23:26.019+00:002018-10-28T17:23:26.019+00:00Oops, mea culpa. :) I misread that as they added t...Oops, mea culpa. :) I misread that as they added the automated group finder several expansions ago. I really should click on the links.<br /><br />Interestingly enough, addon authors improved the procedure enough that they made joining these impromptu groups so easy Blizzard deliberately broke the addons and made it harder to group. Blizzard's stated reason was too many people were joining the groups and afk leaching the results. The community responded by simply listing the quest id -.- and making people search for the group by quest id. (This being for the World Quest stuff.)Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-83621798536863934672018-10-28T16:08:21.233+00:002018-10-28T16:08:21.233+00:00Yes, that's what I was thinking, which is why ...Yes, that's what I was thinking, which is why "conceded several expansions ago" was a link to a post about this feature on WoW's own site. ;) It wouldn't even have to be that fancy though. I think the two key points would be to have LFG requests and availability taken out of chat so that they are visible at all times (as long as the person is online) and can be seen from anywhere in the game, not just on fleet or wherever.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-84391343802623991132018-10-28T16:05:11.328+00:002018-10-28T16:05:11.328+00:00Compared to the last dungeon I ran in WoW, even th...Compared to the last dungeon I ran in WoW, even the most "gogogo" people in SWTOR are positively sedate. ;) Maybe I'm just lucky, but in most of the runs I'm in people are also generally willing to talk in regards to whether to watch cut scenes / bonus bosses etc. so I rarely have issues. Except when it's Battle for Ilum, which <a href="http://swtorcommando.blogspot.com/2015/12/flashpoint-levelling-battle-of-ilum.html" rel="nofollow">makes me mad</a>.

You still have to manually post your group and folks need to apply to the group, but at least you don't need to spam and be limited by one area's chat to find others.<br /><br />Because it is located in the UI with the automated group finder options, people are more likely to actually look in the custom groups. Wow also helps the discoverability by adding a button for group quests that takes you right to the custom group finder with the group quest title already in the search bar.Pallaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052537793722183657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538233114133115363.post-24538830328528523532018-10-28T10:59:15.085+00:002018-10-28T10:59:15.085+00:00Couldn't agree more.

Automated group finders in their current state leave a lot to be desired.<br /><br />Personally, the thing I would need the most is a toggle or slider for choosing between 'speed run' or 'want to savour the experience', something along those lines. I hate, hate, hate the rushing mentality most people have nowadays when doing dungeons, and I just refuse to play along and stress myself out.Mailvaltarhttp://mailvaltar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
