So the reason the LFG tool experience is bad is because retail had RDF? Try not to pull something stretching that much.
No, it is due to the fact that people expect more from of it than what it was designed for.
Edit: some people think that LFG tool is a replacement of RDF, that isnât the case.
Except, you know⌠itâs common sense that the community we had back in 2004 is not the same as the one we have today.
This is⌠irrelevant to any prior or following point.
So, does FF14 not have a social experience worth mentioning?
I would LOVE to see proof of that, considering the world record is 160WPM.
Odd how LFG was implemented instead of RDF, almost as if⌠LFG replaced RDF. Mind blown
Not being a replacement for RDF is indeed a problem since the LFG Tool does not address the same issues that RDF fixes.
Being worse than the retail version of the LFG Tool is a problem thatâs not even excusable. Since all they had to do was copy paste the retail version but instead they went out of their way to make it worse.

Youâre correct in that my use of âyouâ was speaking to the general public, I wasnât trying to single you out. I think everyone should try putting in effort to make social interactions more pleasant. I had no intentions of offending you and I appreciate that you brought it up so I could clarify.
I disagree that RDF removes the first interaction. I just think it moves that interaction to happening inside the dungeon. Iâve been the person telling groups Iâm freshly leveled or sometimes completely new to the dungeon and I confidently say that if you present your situation to a group, most people will adapt and be helpful whether youâre using LFG or RDF. I wonât deny that sometimes I do get people who react negatively, but itâs seldom.
I canât get behind your analogy because itâs not replacing, itâs in addition to, which is a big difference. If you find that youâre being insulted or getting a silent treatment using RDF, I can understand why you prefer not using it, but Iâm also not asking to remove the system that you prefer. I want you to be able to use the system that works best for you.
Also, while typing this I saw some posts about LFG. When I use it, Iâm referring to both the tool and the global chat or even whispering people - basically putting together a group manually by any means.

And no teleport, no gift bag + get rid of the bag tanks and healers already get.
Just one function: Auto match tank/heal/dps who want to do the same dungeon as you.
Whatâs wrong with the teleport feature?
Travel is important part of MMOs.
Iâd remove summoning stones too personally but the world isnât ready for that.
And Warlock summons?
And then explain why it takes years for Alliance to reach dungeons like RFK?
No, thatâs a class ability, same as mage portals. They use a power to summon.
Summoning stones and RDF teleport power is just âbecause lolâ
Regardless, it still removes playersâ need to travel across the world.
So? The end result is the same people get teleported around.
Yes, thatâs an advantage of having a warlock. You can overcome a certain barrier such as travel. This is an MMO, some conveniences can be had based on the classes youâre playing with. Without the warlock, youâre walking.
You clearly ignore the âRPGâ part of âMMORPGâ, which is common in new era gamers.
Who is doing the summoning in RDF/Summoning Stones? God?
âIt is I, the God of Becauselol, I summon hundreds of thousands of players where ever they like.â
can I find this God of Becauselol in game? What abilities do they have? Where are they located?
ButâŚ
You said travel is important, but then say itâs okay to negate the travel.
Magic, the same thing as a warlock summon or a mage portal, we are playing a fantasy RPG you know.
Yes, itâs okay to overcome an in-game barrier with an in-game class. Thatâs an RPG element. Itâs the essence of what makes a class a class, it has unique advantages. Travel is important in MMOs. If it wasnât, they should just activate the .go command in game and let us teleport anywhere we like.
Why do we have mounts? Why not just use the .go command? If auto-tele is allowable to you in RDF, is it allowable for all other activities?
I want to kill Anzu for a chance at the Raven Lord mount. Can I just teleport directly to him?
I want to mine Cobalt in Howling Fjord. Let me teleport to each individual node.
Magic is doing the summoning? Who is that?
It is for PvP.

Itâs not a who itâs a what 
So essentially your argument is âbecause lolâ
Gotcha. Cheers.
Okay so since weâre going slippery slope, I want teleport for herbalism and mining nodes. Implement it immediately.
