Thank you En Masse, for actually listening on an issue. Now, if you really thought about the other things being implemented, hopefully, your gut is correct on those issues.

Wow, i don't even know what to say. You gave in to everyone complaining about a feature that hasn't even been tested on the NA servers yet.

Nobody has even tried the system out on the NA servers and you're already removing it...because of some vocal people on the forums? Disturbing


lol, i know you are used to getting a lolipop on your way off the short bus, but in this sort of game, it is kindof absurd for you to get something special for taking the easy route when the ppl who actually take the time to find a group, or group with ppl they know dont get anything special.

Exactly. This specific case isn't that much of big deal and never was. It's more the example it sets for complainers and ensures a never ending stream of tears. I guarantee you basically everyone that complained about the buffs and rewards didn't even know what they were.

What's next? Make the dungeon finder search limited to players within a 10m radius because someone posted a subjective misinformed wall of text? The best thing they can do is not read the forums at all until some time after launch, when you know, people have actually played the damn game.

I was really worried about this feature. It discouraged being in a guild (as having other players to group with is a major perk) and its implementation in other games showed that people won't bother being nice if they feel they don't have to.

Unless we see some kind of player rating system, I don't think the tool should be made mandatory through stat bonuses or extra loot.

Being able to forge relationships with other players is a unique aspect of MMOs and design decisions should always reinforce social interactions.

SouleD, We are not removing a feature. The bonus buffs/consumable items that were an addition to the feature will no longer be given.


Well that's exactly why I am upset, the cool-down timer split/buffs/consumables items were really really useful and rewarding and completely removing the opportunity to get them in any way is In my opinion really pissing off.

Awesome job EME - great to hear that you're still listening to the community as you did in the beginning.

There's still a lot of debate about the x-server and the teleporting part of the LFD tool though, and personally, I still find these two features absolutely game-changing...negatively game-changing IMHO.

Great change. Now we just need to remove the cross-server aspect... >.>

I second this. I think finding a group for you is enough of a convenience; bonuses aren't necessary. Cross-server, however, needs to go. -.-

Awesome to hear this. It never made sense to reward people for LFD
