| The few times I've been on these past days, the global LFG channel has been reasonably coherent, given that it's fucking global and thus the playground of potentially every server retard in existence. But then again, my server doesn't take a queue to get in every night and is RP PVP.
What astounds me about this design choice is not that Blizzard has eased out of having to implement a UI-based LFG system, but that they haven't considered how easily a few bad apples could spam the crap out of this shit and make it essentially useless (ignore doesn't quite cut it if people are using throw-away alts). Are they that optimistic towards their player base? Do they really think that people are going to play nice and use the channel as a LFG tool as opposed to, say, a global chat channel, auction house, or vehicle for some drama queen's quest for the center of attention?
Grinding, farming, etc. are boring enough that a global chat channel can be relatively entertaining, but for LFG? Ugh. |
