Ya, I mean... if you only want to run Dungeons on your server, build a group in General/Trade.
LFG hasn't disabled the chat box. If you want to spend 2 hours building a group of people that are all on your server, you can still do that... have fun! But for everyone else who prefers waiting 20-30 minutes instead of 120 minutes, why remove that feature? Because you like flying to a dungeon entrance? Really... well I'm sure after the 2nd week of spending 21 hours to get your 7 dungeons completed, you'll quickly realize certain features implemented after the "Golden Era" of WoW actually aren't that bad.

Oh wait, I'm a Protection Warrior main who doesn't need to run dungeons to get Valor Capped... who would have thought people can have opinions on subjects that don't directly affect them?
And we're talking about Dungeon Finder, so the assumption is your looking to fill spots in your group. With a full group already in hand, Dungeon Finder isn't even used, so your response of "Ask a friend" isn't really applicable to anything being discussed. Bottom line is, the fact LFG is implemented in the game doesn't take away from the fact you can still sit in SW/Org and ask people in trade to form a group... if you don't want to use the feature, your certainly not forced to.
Ugh, two good points I wana respond too but this one wins...
LFD is optional yes, but easymode is always the path of lest resistance, thus used 100% of the time outside of full guild runs.
Partial guild LFD runs make players into bullys, I don't know why but players I know are nice from my guilds or friends, instantly turn into Dbags if they sense the slightest blood in the water from somone not set up perfectly and preforming like a master. This needs to stop.
I never spent a second setting up a group in vanilla, TBC or early LK. I got bugged into doing them by my server friends which, yes I actually knew very well and can still name them all. Some I even still keep in touch with.
I haven't met a single new person since LFD came out that wasn't completley, contemporary or contemptuous.
I don't want it to be an FPS... I don't have high hopes.
LFD tool is a standard of the mmo genre now, deal with it.
If it ruins the community on the server, well .. thats up to the people on the server, but a LFD tool is a must - mind you, I started playing MMOs back when EQ1 was release, Im all aware of the old way and I love it like that, but it has changed now - its not like that anymore, so I did what everyone els must as well, embrace new changes and accept the fact that its like this, because the genre is alot bigger now, alot more players and it has to take into account that not everyone is online 8 hours aday.
LFD - Caters for the little man, for the casual player who wants to be able to log on and get going, there is NOTHING here that prevents you from gathering your own group and going on with it, as you see fit.
oh, have to do this :P - Dont want wow players in titan! (Rage armor on!!) :P
Exactly why it won't be an MMOFPS, it's going to be more casual friendly than WoW so they're not going to make the combat 500 times harder.
(Unless it's completely optional and that you can switch freely between targeting and free aiming, but then again the aim skill doesn't matter.)
WoW won't be hot news anymore in 2016+ or whenever Titan gets released so of course it will target MMO players, but probably not exclusively.
I'd expect something like a more user-friendly, improved Second Life with a lot of new features added in.

id be happy if non of the current WoW developers went to work on Titan.. if ghostcrawler goes anywhere near the thing it'll be a pass :P
I certainly don't want Dungeon Finder. However useful the tool may be it totally took away the fun out of everything community related. Before LFD you had to find a group manually, you could control who will be in it (classes, specs, gear...) and most importantly you formed friendships in these groups. Nobody can deny that.
Just a theory, but I'm guessing that Blizzard probably isn't going to be copying the systems from WoW to put in Titan. They probably know better than to try and just lift things from their own game if they want to make another game that can succeed in the MMO market. Blizz knows they need to make something that is different enough from WoW that players would be interested in playing both games at the same time.
I do not want forum trolls that quit months ago whining about the game. Exactly, like a lot of "players" are doing right now. Feedback is of course ok, but you all know what kind of moaning I am describing, and if not, try reading these forums for a few days.
Also, I'd like to have a fansite that does not crash when I am trying to quick reply, since I end up typing loads of text that keeps getting lost.
What I do not want? Simple list:
- I do not want Metzen being responsible for the lore. Other Blizzard franchises are poor enough right now.
- I do not want Ghostcrawler leading anything. He is a funny guy and all that, but I think his (and his team) decisions are rather poor and slow.
- I do not want pay2win in any way, shape or form. No real cash Auction Houses.
- I do not want the holy trinity. It is fine to have characters that heal better, characters that have better damage and less survivability, more tanky and all that, but such roles should not be so dedicated and over-emphasized. We need a shift in that model.
- I do not want developers that keep jumping from one foot to the other. Just do not make the game easier, then harder, then easier, then harder, then harder, then nerfing stuff. Put out different difficulty settings if need be, but do not keep changing the model as it annoys people quite a bit, as seen in WotLK and Cataclysm.
- I do not want a game where raiding is all there is. It is terrible design.
- I do not want a monthly subscription. Monthly fees seem to make companies not to put enough effort to keep making the game better and more interesting, expanding it. Polishing is great, but one can create perfectly polished games with no soul.
That would be all
you mean there is info out there about this game? Oh wait....
I don't want something that's been in the market for years already. Innovation PLEASE
RETH
I don't want it to be FPS, rather a TPS shooter MMO. I get tired of walking around in FPS for longer periods.
I definitely don't want WoW in a futuristic setting, and I'm sure Blizz agrees.. What I'm hoping for is a TPS/RTS/RPG kind of MMO with much PvP focus, where battles are taking place all over the world and there are options to capture areas for example. I could see a game where certain parts of the world belongs to different player clans who fight for supremacy.
I don't want mounts, instead vehicles, for very obvious reasons. Vehicle combat both on ground and in air integrated into the world would be a nice touch.
"When asked if the game's genre would be science fiction, post-apocalyptic, or historical a representative laughed and then responded: "all of those combined!" "
This is interesting imo. What is the historical part?
Also I recommend this

I hope its not a FPS MMO.
I dont want it to be a multiplayer like wow (yes I said it! cross-realm = multiplayer, not MMO)
