Recall spending an hour putting together a group for a dungeon in wow. 30 minutes getting to dungeon. All because we needed nature resist for a a new dungeon. Then spending 5 hours working together. because we all so happy to have a functional group.

The fun part is the priest core was the only group that for our nature resist gear. So we tanked that week.

WoW had that really well figured out.

I remember when I played both that and FFIX. I'd spend 7 hours looking for a group in FF on a Saturday, get to the dungeon, wipe right away, level down and the group would disband. Logging on became more and more rare but wow wasn't punishing.
