its always when your trying to teleport to dung when someone esle who was just kicked from group is still in dung, you just need to wait until on serwers will be info this kicked guy was finally removed from this instance0 -

✭pffff, ahahaha
It's a bugfix, stopping people from abusing an otherwise highly difficult encounter for easy loot and achievements. Fixing that isn't in favor of "elite" players, it's in favor of ZOS saving their already-shoddy image in terms of game health.
All this equating of issues into "casual" v.s. "elite" on the forums makes me sick. Stop now before we have the casual and elite parties, with intense and ultimately pointless contrarian arguments resulting in unsatisfactory change for both groups.

DurzoBlint13✭✭✭✭the 15 min penalty is not a bug (just an annoying addition). Group Finder disbanding groups as soon as they form is the bug. Not sure if it even happens on PC so that may be why some of the special snowflakes are spitting hate.1

DurzoBlint13✭✭✭✭how can anyone say that ZOS favors hard core players when they just made the game as casual friendly as you can get with 1T? It is easier now than it ever was to get a max character and end-game gear. If anything ZOS is ignoring had core players with their lack of end-game content. No new trials or dungeons, no new crafted sets and Cyrodil is a complete mess right now. None of the Patch Notes or "fixes" that I have seen so far even come close to addressing any of these issues2

Again what does this bug have to do with gaining achievements that were not earned. You don't need to use the gf to do dungeons, you must kill rakkat to gain the title and skin. You are completely ignoring the fact that your statement is false. Not one thing is this game has been made because of top tier players.
You do not need the gf to run dungeons, ask in zone chat make friends or whatever you need to do. If I remember right it was the more casual players asking for the penalty so they wouldn't get left behind, and while I agree that it isn't the way it should be it is working as intended. Seriously if the 15 min wait is killing you that much swap toons and run another dungeon, when your don't the original 15 mins will be over.
Honestly if you would have just made a legitimate complaint about the gf I would have been on board, all the way. But blaming part of the player base for your lack of comprehension between an exploit and a bug, sorry cant agree with that. Blaming part of the player base for the shortcomings of a system that was put in place because of the outcry of the casual player base feeling left behind. Yes the gf penalty is stupid, but it was asked for. It wasn't thought out or not able to implement a better version, whatever the case may be.

✭✭They have turned the game play in this game into a completely brain dead activity and are continuing to simplify it, vMoL is literally the only difficult content this game has to offer, Rakkhat hard mode in particular is the only piece that is a challenge beyond what most people are capable of doing. How exactly is that catering to elites? Also, if a real elite player is in the group finder, they are there specifically to help new players. We have guilds, good guilds, with OP players, we don't need the group finder.Edited by Ghost-Shot on January 26, 2017 4:02PM9 -

I'm going to keep this short and simple.
ZOS created a tool within the game for players to use. That tool is broken and needs to be repaired or taken off until it is fixed again. ZOS is slow in responding to this issue that effects a lot of players. ZOS was quick in response to the exploit in vMoL allowing players to get the skin and title yet is slow in response to other things that truly do matters. Sure I can spam the zone until people start to get irritated at me for posting the same repeated text over and over again, and then start ignoring me, but The truth is ZOS gave me a tool to use for convenience reasons. To spare me the time of spamming zones and my guilds.
Also sometimes it's difficult to find players to do pledges with both in zone and in guilds. It's not that simple and often times you need to use the group finder to find players to do a particular dungeon with. Also you need to use the group finder to do a random normal/vet.1 -

ZOS has fixed it fast, it was glitch witch was exploited by many player to get skin and title without any effor while normally it need skill and know tactics.

How come theirs no quick fix for this yet?
It was the casual community that asked for the penalty timer in the first place. I suspect that most people that can finish vMoL would be okay with removing the penalty entirely.
As far as I can tell, the penalty is working as intended. People would pretend to be afk, troll, or be obnoxious in order to get kicked if getting kicked would let them skip the penalty.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)

Short and simple you still fail to understand the difference between that which is bugged and that which is exploited. The group finder is a means to an end, it's a convenient tool. It does not reward you with anything that isn't earned. And fyi it wasnt only "elites" complaining about the exploit. You don't alienate a portion of the players of you want to bring people to your cause. Maybe they are at a loss on the gf, or maybe it isn't as simple as putting an invisible wall in.
Not one person was arguing the point of how bad the gf has become. What people are arguing is the point that you have failed to acknowledge that the original post was in fact incorrect. Not only about the elite argument, but also in comparison to an exploit. Not one change in this game has been catered to any hardcore players, not in pve or pvp. In fact they have watered down the difficulty level so that anyone can do it without any skill, until you hit HM content on trials and dlc dungeons.
Bottom line gf is broken, yes. It's not being fixed fast enough for you, we get it. But in no way is that blame to be put on any group of players. In this regard you are just wrong.2 -

You don't alienate a portion of the players of you want to bring people to your cause. Maybe they are at a loss on the gf, or maybe it isn't as simple as putting an invisible wall in.
Not one person was arguing the point of how bad the gf has become. What people are arguing is the point that you have failed to acknowledge that the original post was in fact incorrect. Not only about the elite argument, but also in comparison to an exploit. Not one change in this game has been catered to any hardcore players, not in pve or pvp. In fact they have watered down the difficulty level so that anyone can do it without any skill, until you hit HM content on trials and dlc dungeons.
Bottom line gf is broken, yes. It's not being fixed fast enough for you, we get it. But in no way is that blame to be put on any group of players. In this regard you are just wrong.
Bugs and exploits should both be treated with equal and should be given the same attention from the developers. It's been months if not a year since the developers did anything to resolve the bugs that are in the group finder. People are still complaining about the 15 min penalty and request to have it removed.
