lets hope so
Yes.Yes.And once again, yes. Best feature WoW ever implemented. All MMOs should steal it. Like WAR's PQ's.
YES i do want. but..............
NO i dont want it to be cross server.
At Trion they already know about community concerns and i am very confident they will do the best if they implement the LFG tool at the future.
They have all my faith,since thay have done GREAT during beta testing.
In a game that already has an extremely social element like Rift raiding I don't see it detracting from the growth of a large community. I think it'll be a good thing attracting more subscriptions and allowing you to have fun if you don't have a long time to play some days.
it kills the server wide community if you ask me, and it gives people who you will never see again the chance to act like jerks.
In my opinion cross servers dungeon finder of wow totally ruined that game.
Yeah... and helped a lot casual people to get some nice gear. I remember when I hit 60 (and yes I know that lfg wasn't implemented then) and was thinking about... what now? Is it all?
Now people can get 85 raid with pugs... get some gear and try to find some nice guild without wasting a time.
If you want better gear you still need to be in a decent guild.
I really don't care either way. Some people hate the idea, some people can't stand not having it.
I don't see the argument against them personally. The biggest complaint seems to be that it allows people to behave badly in PUG's. I would argue that PUG's have always sucked, and always will suck. You are always going to be playing retard roulette to a certain degree.
If you want a good group, get in a guild, if you want to solo and PUG, do it. I don't see why people should be forced to spam an LFG channel and kill a half an hour trying to get a group together when in the end they end up with the exact same result as a dungeon finder would give them in less time.
Hartsman said a week ago they are adding a cross server dungeon finder.
I think this is a very reasonable view.
Granted, people can be jerks in pugs created by auto-grouping. But this all came about because of elitism of people not wanted to teach new players or help them or show patience. It's especially true for people who play solo because they don't have time to commit to a guild on a regular basis.
But like Sybnal, I'm not taking a side either way. Both sides have valid arguments. I'm just saying the level of jerkiness can either be dealing with "retard roulette" or gear-score snobbery. So it's one or the other.
Link or it didn't happen

I asked community manager Zann yesterday at facebook forums about this and he told me thay are not planning on a cross server tool.
He also linked me this postcast and told me to hear from min 13+ it may solve some of this thread...

Ayway is not implemented in betas,and it will not be at launch............
{mod edit}.
i want yes yes and its not enough,not even close,they need tradechannel from wow too,they need spitmacro,they need battlegrounds where everybody says lose fast for the win and epics,they need more,much more.
I really hope this i do,so every wow player stays on these two programs to the end of the universe.

Having been a WoW player that played before and after the LFD tool...I can say that it has both pros and cons.
The pros of course would be the ability to get a dungeo run going very quickly. Even though I'm in a raiding guild, sometimes we don't have the players on to get a run going. So just queueing with the group we have and pulling trash within a few minutes is pretty nice.
Of course the system isn't perfect. For example, dps typically have to wait much longer than tanks or healers, so it that sucks for dps. In addition, it does create a sense that world is nothing but an instanced zone, where everyone stands in Org (or whatever Rifts equivalent is), and just queues for whatever they want to run.
Overall, I think the pros outweight the cons. If Rift doesn't go overboard with teleporting, instancing, etc then I think servers would feel like populated and moving worlds, but with the convinience to get a group whenever.
And if they do implement it, and you don't like it...don't use it...it's that simple.
BOOYAH!
Spit macro FTW!
yes but on one condition!the dungeon finder can only be active if you are within 30 meter of the actual dungeon portal.
why?too many time people lineup for dungeon but arent actually ev en close to the freaking place by doing it this way
it would ensure player actually are serious about running that dungeon!if it cant be done then no !no dungeon finder!
No.. and the day they may decide to implemnet it , will be the day i implement my Cancel Sub button..
yeah the blizzard devs really wanted to cause trouble when they put in the spit emote lol.
really what were they thinking.
Yes I'd like to see one implemented if it's done correctly.. And by correctly I mean:
Not cross server.
No transport to dungeon.
Really all it should do is put together a group for the dungeon you searched for.
if these Trion guys wants to show that they are not from Azeroth anymore
they need Dungeon Boss Finder Tool (DBFT) or even better Dungeons Boss Loot Finder Tool (DBLFT)

Their working on a LFG tool. They haven't decided if it's going to be cross server. They could easily do it since the Warfronts are cross server. but I'm sure all the people crying about it will keep the feature server specific. until they run into an issue of players having a hardtime getting groups once the game becomes top heavy.Playing: Nothing

I like this idea. Though there are some cases to think about. If you roll a DPS you're likely to wait much longer (15 to 30 minutes when I was playing WoW). Maybe you can queue from a certain zone around the entrance, then you can go quest/gather/whatever while waiting? Though it can be a bit complex when dungeons are usually few levels higher than the zone they sit in.
Maybe in ur own server, but never NEVER cross server.
