You know I dont remember reading anywhere that poeple cant que together in the dungeon finder? I mean if it works like wow's you can have a whole group just que for a random dungeon and get the bonus' without actually needing someone as filler. I dont really see what the issue is. People that dont want to use it dont have it. People that dont want to spend 40 mins in area chat trying to to find a group as a dps or whatever isnt popular wont have to. Anyone that has used it on Ktera can confirm if you can use the dungeon finder as a group or not?


You can use it as a group.

Besides the point, 99% of the playerbase won't bother with area chat because the dungeon finder exists and allows them to get better rewards for the same effort. Half of the fun of an MMO is getting to meet people, and build relationships, while games with dungeon finders essentially promote you to disregard the people you meet, as you'll [most likely] never talk to them again after that first 30 minutes - 2 hours.

You are not penalized for not running a dungeon with dungeon finder. The reward you get is a goodie bag in the mail after killing the final boss. It is the equivalent of a free fortune egg. I'm sorry if you think that an extra fortune egg is that important. If so, you can still queue up with 4 people and tell your 5th friend that you sat him out because you HAD to have that goodie bag aka fortune egg.

What about the increased drop-rate?
And the issue still remains that players won't use the area chat or standard LFG if there is an easier way to get their group.

Needless to say I'm disappointed in this. But I've already written out all my thoughts on the massive thread we have on the topic in the PvP forums. I guess almost two months of discussion on the topic isn't enough.

Increased drop-rate is a feature of new and better dungeons, not LFG. LFG is a separate item that was added to make dungeons better.

I share the same feelings. All I'm waiting to hear is confirmation of cross-server and instant teleportation tools in the NA version...

And they specifically mention buffs too.

-"Speaking of rewards, you'll now see increased drops in all dungeons--up to double and triple the rates you've seen in past betas."
This Change refers to dungeon drops in general. Is not related to the dungeon finder in any way.

-"and even sends you extra rewards when the last boss falls."
This is the extra "goodie bag" that you will receive in the mail at the end of the dungeon for joining through dungeon fnider. It is not more loot off of the boss.

-"gives you significant bonuses (depending on your role) for grouping"
Yes you get buffs for running the dungeon with random people you don't know. This is to offset not being in an organized group. Again, this in no way penalizes you from running with your friends because hopefully you will be more organized and thus clear faster than a pug with the buffs.

tldr: Dungeon finder does not effect running dungeons with a group of 5 friends in any way. People claiming so are just misinformed, ignorant, or a combination of the two.

Instance dungeon matcher. Effortlessly build a party for the dungeon of your choice--and get both combat buffs and extra loot for doing so.

Edited to clarify buffs. How does a pug getting buffs effect 5 man groups? Oh wait it doesn't.
