MMORPG fans keep fighting over the Dungeon Finder – What do you think of the feature?

Almost every MMORPG has the dungeon finder feature, but not all like it. What’s your opinion?

This is the dungeon finder: The feature is a group search tool for players who want to enter instanced content such as dungeons or raids in MMORPGs. While in “old school” MMORPGs you still had to search for fellow players yourself and ask them in the chat, for example, this happens automatically with the Dungeon Finder.

Over the years, the feature has spread throughout the genre and few modern MMORPGs that offer instanced content appear today without the Dungeon Finder. However, it is not popular with all players, which was shown above all by the heated debate about the feature in WoW Classic: Wrath of the Lich King.

• Dungeon Finder proponents argue that the feature saves them a great deal of time. You don’t have to search for a group manually and wait forever until everyone is ready, you are automatically put into a suitable group.
• Opponents of Dungeon Finder find that the feature takes a lot of the social interaction out of the game. Without DF you have to interact with other players and actually play together, which is actually one of the most important aspects of an MMORPG.

Both parties provide arguments for their side and against the other in discussions, but there is rarely a resolution. Most of the time, players like and dislike different things about Dungeon Finder and have different priorities when playing it.
