oQueue was a step in the right direction. Blizzard is starting to realize that players don't want to be restricted by their small realms anymore.
So the dungeonfinder is being replaced by this groupfinder? If so, this is good news.
Now they just need to remove the raid finder all together and we have ourselves a great game once again.
I'm too socially retarded to make friends :(
I dont want to make new friends, I just want my old friends to come back.
I hope this will be the same for PvP. I only gave it a little read but i'd love there to be like a little side "box" as such where you can go through about 3-4 groups and pick the best out of those groups AFTER the battle to create your own team in different realms. So if you are a good healer in a BG (healers get FA honor from BG's even though 9/10 they are the savior) then you can join a winning team and not be left to heal the useless retards that fight in the middle and let the opponants get the 3rd winning flag that white washed you. I highly doubt this is what is being done but i hope its something they will do in the future and by the sounds of things, they are heading the right way. But i highly doubt they will do it either because then you're basically just getting good teams against norm teams and thrashing them easily.

Their opening month's hype level overloaded them and called for lots of servers, but after that month's complimentary subscription ran out, so did a lot of flakey players, leaving only a couple servers in a 'good' state of population.

[QUOTE=Friendly;46230469]Now they just need to remove the raid finder all together and we have ourselves a great game once again.[/QUOTE] No, the only bad thing about raid finder was how shit it worked and how random it was. This is the system we have needed, its just an addon oQueue now officially implemented by Blizzard with there own shit. oQueue pretty much saved WoW for me and probably a bunch of others, and now that Blizzard took its ideas and made it official is just all the better. You actually used oQueue to specifically get away from the shittier players who would be doing LFR shit. Kind of hoping this new Blizzard shit has some form of player stats you can see so you can make sure they arent some horrible BG leader whos 0-50.

Then theres something similar but its more permanent, some smaller pop realms and stuff have been getting completely connected so they share everything, including citys/new expansion zones but this has been a bit new and slow since ultimately I think Blizzard is planning to merge most together in the end.

LFR is completely faceroll. I can quite easily sit in LFR on a dps class and do nothing and still get loot, and I still get to see all the end game content that previously you had to work your ass off to see. That's why I used to like WoW raiding because I worked hard to see all the content with my raid group. Now everyone and their dog can do it and it feels pointless.

[QUOTE=Banned?;46232274]The get into a hardcore raid guild and do the harder stuff? LFR isn't the end all of raiding, at all.[/QUOTE] Yeah but I've already seen all the content from farming LFR, so it feels pointless. Other than grinding for higher stat items. Loot doesn't mean much to me, I just like sight seeing so for someone like me LFR is shitty.

Good job, you're just a mindless drone complaining about LFR for reasons that completely contradict your own statements.
Enjoy buying more expansions from blizzard, there's more milking to come

Or maybe you don't know what 'worst' means? I dunno.

[QUOTE=mon_ons;46232674]3 completely conflicting statements... Good job, you're just a mindless drone complaining about LFR for reasons that completely contradict your own statements.[/QUOTE] See previous comment before spewing idiocy. I don't want to see content that everyone else gets to see without working for it. I enjoyed being part of the few who got to see end game bosses because we worked our asses off for weeks on it, like Naxx 40. Very few people on our server even got to see the last bosses in that place because they either weren't good enough or weren't part of a raid group. When it's opened up to everyone it feels pointless. What is so hard to understand about that?
