The Cross-Realm Instancing is an OPTION, you don't have to use it.

Q u o t e:
Cross Realm instancing is a terrible idea.

The current system, limited to your server, creates friendships, forges bonds, and allows people to know who and who not to group up with. If this is taken out of the game, people will be unable to make new friendships that will be able to be carried out of the instance portal.

So what if it allows groups to form faster? It will destroy a Realm's Identity, and prevents people from forming lasting friendships. Keep (almost) everything else, but remove this.

---

Makes friends, or get in a good guild and you never have to use it. Problem solved.

::says YES to Cross-Realm Instancing::

Q u o t e:


Will there be any way to join the channel when NOT in a city? I know I prefer to go out and mine or something rather than sit around twiddling my thumbs while waiting for a group,

---

If they made it a world channel again, people would abuse the crap out of it and they'd have to remove it again from the stream of QQ that will hit the forums. Where I agree with you, I'd rather not sit in a city to find groups, but I still think a global chat channel is a bad idea.

Q u o t e:

The Looking For Group channel will return in patch 3.3. If you wish to run dungeons with players on your realm, you can use the Looking For Group channel in any major city to create the party.

---

You mean the Chuck Norris channel? Cause thats all I ever saw in there before...

---

Q u o t e:
It works exactly like the Trade channel currently does.

---

Ah, you mean the Racist Joke channel? These things are never used for what they're designed.

---

Q u o t e:


People join guilds to quickly and reliably form groups. If you have a pool of 130+ servers contributing to a single instance (They are probably limiting it to your battlegroup) people will have the pick of the litter.

Plus, with all those people attempting to join a group, what says your Number will be called?

---

Using that logic, you'll never get into a BG either.

And you'll have no "pick of the litter". It is limited to your battlegroup and completely random. You can't see and invite people from another server, it happens automatically.

It works exactly like the Trade channel currently does.

---

cool

Q u o t e:

It works exactly like the Trade channel currently does.

---

so cities only?

Is that a new sig? Or am I just now noticing it?

I'm a bit leery of the change, but I'll be trying it at some point. Whether or not I continue to use it will be based on the ratio of asshats to courteous players I come across. If it becomes like xserver bgs where everyone feels free to be as rude as they can, then I'll probably limit myself to guild runs.

Q u o t e:

And hey, the Ignore list is being expanded! You can also ignore players on other realms if you have a bad group experience with them. The Dungeon System will not place you in a group with any character on your Ignore list.

---

Now THAT is snazzy.

I remember back in Vanilla there was worldwide LFG that everyone automatically joined. Because of spam, it was limited to city-wide LFG. Because of spam, it was again limited to people using the LFG tool. Now nobody uses it.

Seems like we've come full circle here...

Oh, and Trade channel already fulfills the duties of LFG, community chat, and Trade...mostly the first two. I barely see anyone on Trade hawking their wares, more about people guild recruiting/using it as LFG/flaming each other.

Perhaps now people will use the appropriate channel.

Naw, I doubt it too...but they might.

---

Well, that at least will lessen the blow. Thank you for your post.

I like the fact that we will be able to group with people in other realms.
The other stuff I say no to.
