Resons not to use LFD

[Avenn]

As a tank:
1) Healer leaving during boss fight...three times.
2) DPS popping cd's on trash...on the mob you're putting aoe dmg only into.

As a DPS:
1) The plate tank needing on rogue gear
2) The healer not healing the dps on aoe heavy fights.
3) DPS leaving midway through a fight...on Corla.

And you wonder why Blizzard has to give silly incentives for people to do randoms

[Asmodejjj]

Reasons to use LFD:

1. Insta-q as tank
2. Goodie bag
3. Meet new people
4. Don't have to fly
5. Convenient for lazy people like me

Bad groups =/= don't use the system.

1. I also got insta-q when I do it with my guild.
2. Not worth the pain.
3.No thank you.
4. I also don't have to, when I do it with my guild.
5. See 1+4.

This guy. Why would I want to group with 4 incompetent mindless idiots, carry them through on an alt, have them ninja my gear, and take twice as long as usual? No thanks.

What? Any specific piece you have in mind? I can't think of any besides Tia's Grace and even then it's an amazing Tank trinket.

Nobody forces you to use the LFD. The incentive in reality is not for you, but for the people that somehow lost interest in running dungeons. It's for them so at the end, people like me (which play an only DPS class) get lower queue times.

We really don't need you on the dungeons. I don't know why you would even consider playing a social game when it's obvious you don't even like to say hello.

Believe me, it doesn't bother me one bit when I don't find people like you inside the dungeon. Not one bit.

True perhaps addons like atlas loot should also mention "Caution: Also needed by Tanks" or something, seen too many times ppl accusing others for ninjas since they don't know how much the game system changed. I bet there are some dps/healers who think that +Defence is the only gear tanks should roll.

LFD is awesome, it's just the people you get aren't.

Simple solution: Queue up with friends/guildies - and if you want the reward... Well, you gotta take the risk and put up with idiots for personal greed. :P

BoE epic ring dropped...ruin of gilneas or whatnot. Retard needed on it even though it was a huuuuge upgrade for myself and a hunter. Can't wait until Blizzard implements the whole "If you need on a BoE its BoP"

So far today i've been reduced to calling it the Looking for Dumbfucks tool - 5 heroics, 1 completed instance, 6 tanks who had full PvP gear, 2 healers in full pvp gear, repairs adding up to around about 300g and such classy wipes as

1 - no one used the shredder in DM encounter
2 - no one ate the food during cookie encounter (twice!)
3 - nightmare elixir WORE OFF - yes folks, the thing does have a timer on it,
4 - tank going afk during the gauntlet in TotT in a 4 clothie run

very much so reminds me of why i no longer run heroics. I should point out, the one completed instance was Deadmines, it took 90 minutes and i was left with 18% durability all for 55g and a fucking mana potion.....

Reason to use LFD:
1. I get to run instances.

Reasons to use LFD

Not having to fly around in trade waiting until all the roles I need are available on my one server instead of a multitude of servers with the LFD.

Bad groups =/= don't use the system.

1. If you are one ...
2. Read 1
3. This often works against as you encounter quite a few ... specimens
4. Yea w/e 2-3 minutes saved, hurray
5. Oh well ..

I have to say tho I did enjoy my first random ZG group ..

[Synaxis]

1. I also got insta-q when I do it with my guild.
2. Not worth the pain.
3.No thank you.
4. I also don't have to, when I do it with my guild.
5. See 1+4.

This guy has it. Why on earth would I subject myself to people I don't know and probably don't like when I can run with people I know don't suck?

[Mulled]

or u can just pug people from your server/guild and then queue .... like really???

[foxHeart]

Reasons to use:
Rewards.

Reasons to not use:
Humanity is full of dumb asses and/or people who won't agree with you.

Now that you've found the answers, you can quit making pointless threads and continue on your merry way.

so you use LFD...

[Bombkirby]

Do we REALLY need another thread that is trying to brainwash the community to fear the RDF system? Its not that bad. Although I got a steady stream of bads in the new instances though.... But in the older heroics I got nothing but honest and good players.

[Slickx]

Reason not to use LFG

1) i need no gear
2) i need no valor points

win/win situation.
