This post raises a good point, but then takes it and runs it into the fuckin’ ground.
Getting groups together for instances is, indeed, hard. If you don’t have a pool of known people to draw from, forming a pickup group is a double chore. One, people don’t want to join blindly because most people are fucktards, and two, most people willing to join pickup groups are fucktards.
It’s not simply a matter of going to the zone that the instance entrance is in and adverting, either. Because it’s so easy to get around the world, there’s unlikely to be people hanging around in the zone who want to do the instance anyway. The people there are doing quests, or grinding for xp/loot, or whatever.
Consequently the “best” place to form pickup groups for an instance is in one of the major cities, and usually, the one with the auction house. This works semi-okay for Alliance, as Ironforge is pretty equidistant from anywhere of note, but not so okay for Orgirmmar. (Not to mention the problems with overcrowding in Ironforge anyway.) In any event, cities are filled with craptons of chat spam, so it all turns into a horrible, horrible mess.
Fortunately, a plan has been put forth by Blizzard to address this. They’ve stated they’re working on “Meeting Stones” to be placed outside all the instances and will form groups of the “appropriate” levels. It remains to be seen how (or even when) this works out. It is, at least, a step in the right direction.
Now, on to the bullshit portion. HRose, you are so full of crap, it is literally not to be believed. There’s nothing, nothing wrong with people getting powerleveled by their friends. If that’s the way they choose to play; fine. If they are missing out on the “fun” and the “challenge” of getting wiped out numerous times; fine. It’s fine!
What’s next for you? Going to say that Thottbot should be declared illegal? Make all loot BoP? Disabling mail service between “rich” and “poor” players? Come down off your high horse. Even if “ninety percent” of the playerbase “ruins” their experience by never playing the game the “right” way, well, so fucking what. “Ninety percent” means the people have spoken. The only thing stopping the other 10 percent from getting together and playing “their way” is a lack of tools to identify and locate each other.
