Dungeon finder is just too good

[lans83]

It could make sense if the random BG finder would also take care about roles one way or another. I quite often end up (solo) vs an alliance team in AB with 4-5 healers and none in our group. Or you end up in an AV tonotice there is no tank at all in the group. However that could be overcome if ppl were able to activate their offspec during a BG, not only during 'preparation'.

If you happen to run a Pally tank, you can go Prot/Ret for pvp. It's not that bad actually. Just swap gear once you get to the end boss. I've tanked both bosses in AV this way with mine. There's always plenty of healers in AV, if not, run your own team in there. The spec I have on my Pally is what I use for both pvp and pve, Just grab an extra shield and toss the +Res enchant on it for a bit more. Not sayin it's a solid build, but I can survive most fights now.

LFD tool should let premades queue for dungeons as is ! No role check.

Sorry for bumping an old thread. But I only realized this when I hit level 15 with my group. All excited I signed up, and the role check failed. So I had to restart one of my characters as another class.

The option is there to actually walk to the cave, but for people like me not only new to multiboxing but to the game to some extent, sacrificing your personal class choices for Dungeon Finder tool is a compromise worth going for imho. It has nothing to do with lazyness, but a greater enjoyment of the game.

Many appologies Whur... I need to use you as an example.

I do not like the LFG / LFD finder. Its a terrible idea. How lazy does a person need to be, to not go from the closest major city, to a stone. 2 mins flight time? 3? And when some people dont get in, when they want to, they just select all their class options, despite the talent points, skill, experience, and gear. Then you get a fail tank, in full PVP gear, classes wearing cloth, when they should wear leather, or mail when they should wear plate, or a Priest with all crit and hit, not much intel., and in shadowform... healing... or a druid in balance gear, that goes bear form... "what? Im a tank. Blizzard says so."

It used to be that people would go to a stone, summon people there, or all meet. It used to be that the scrubs that didnt know how to play their class, let alone gear it up right, simply didnt get in groups.

Blizzard made the LFD finder for these people. "Dont know if youre a tank? Click here" "Dont have the right gear for your class, but want to do dungeons? Click here" "Too lazy to explore this vast wold we spent 6 years creating? Click here" "Have no clue where you are going, just want to pew pew? Click here"

Nope. LFD is an absolute failure. I refuse to use it, and I havent since several weeks of it coming out.

I do conceed that if you 5box, this is a quick way to zone to an instance. However, if you are boosting, you are often running to that instance anyway.

LFD is amazing for a multi-boxer if you're not using it you are only waisting your own time. If you are power leveling (no idea why people call it boosting so annoying) then yes you're probably going to run. Other than that you should be using LFD to maximize your own play time.

No no. Please dont take the overall negative tone / opinion about the subject wrong. I do agree about boxing. I do use it from time to time.

I guess I could have clarified that for non boxers... all the above.

.... If you are power leveling (no idea why people call it boosting so annoying) ...

Yes, I dunno. I seen the term here, figured it was what its called here... so I conformed. Ive always called it power leveling also.

Thats ok. I take no offense whatsoever, the sole reason I am multi boxing is so I can have time to explore every inch of the continents and normal dungeons and follow the lore as I love the books. Not to run through and pew pew, or to farm something.

I actually decided to go back to my original class line up, so I will be walking to every instance no matter what. Well later on hopefully flying.

Although, if I had the right class line up for my 5 boxing, I would use the LFD tool in a heartbeat, don't misunderstand.

[EDIT]: I do not have any high level alts for boosting or power leveling etc, I started from scratch with my newbie line up.

I like the convenience, especially when i have limited time.

I hate what it has done to pvp. I wish you had to fully complete the dungeon at least once before you could get to it via LFD. At least make people find the entrance. People just starting after lfd probably have no clue where e instance even is in azeroth. Id hate to heal for lfd groups.

Good thing i dont have to!!!

Thats the case for cata dungeons. you need to get to the entrance once to be able to select it in LFD
