  As someone who believes LFG was the beginning of the end of MMOs, I can’t tell if I despise this or if I’m impressed.

      Looking for Group. As someone else said, the ability to click “queue for dungeon”, be dropped into an instance with a bunch of random, and proceed to faceroll the dungeon without any thought or patience required.

      The fun part of old school MMOs was the journey, not the destination. Modern MMOs have all optimized the journey out by making everything doable without ever being dependent on another player.

      I think they mean the automated queueing system.

    I know exactly what you’re feeling, and I totally get it. Still, if executed well, I’m at least impressed that they pulled it off. I would have sworn such an experience wasn’t possible.

    But yeah, I’m not interested in having artificial multiplayer interactions.
