Stupid LFD Tool is Stupid

First off, i like the LFD tool. its great. it lets me queue up for instances without having to worry about putting together all the parts. and when its all over, i dont have to stick around and say how good everyone was and hope i do instances with them again. i like being able to get in there, do my thing, get my dose of dps goodness for the day, and leave. im not too much of a committal type of guy to begin with. so what i do have problems with is what keeps happening to me at level... 38, or 42, or 54, 68 and now 78-79.

I cant get into the instances i really want. at 38 i was too low to get into SMGY, so im stuck doing lower instances. then i do SMGY for infinity before i can actually do the other ones. when instances in my LFD tool shows up in yellow, i assume they are doable. but instead, im sent to an easier instance. always. at 42, it was the wait for SMCath. at 54, i was soooo sick of mara and sunken temple, i was waiting for... Strath/Scholo (that NEVER came because blizz figured only level 59 and 60 folks could join those.... but they forget that those people would rather skip all the way to Ramps in outland). yes blizz. the whole LFD system is a bit off. i complained about this in a previous blog, but im going to do this again because.... it sucks THAT much.

at level 68 i'd love to join Utgarde keep. not only will i "miss" and cause "glancing" hits a lot, i'll probably get killed if i pull enough aggro. that's not cool by blizz standards i guess. but guess what blizzard? i've been doing Utgarde keep with all of my toons BEFORE the LFD tool was implemented, and they did FINE (except for my tank, which needed the cobalt gear at 70, and i was rockin). Especially the DPS, they do fine! tanks? thats a different matter. healers? it might be stressful at 68. but really, people should be able to get into utgarde keep at 68. they always have before. why cant we queue up for it now?

And now we get to the point of my post. as Devynity has been leveling up, he's been realizing something. Whether he's 76, or 78, or 79, he'll always (I mean ALWAYS) get Halls of Stone or Gundrak. Last night he was 79, queueing with his friend who's a level 80. we did a random and got Halls of Stone. my god i wanted to cry. but i didnt and sucked it up. then asked the tank if we can requeue for something specific. we ended up getting Utgarde Pinicle. Woot!! the whole trip was awesome. For crying out loud, why couldnt we have gotten a more appropriate instance the first time? instead we got lolHoS.

Thats not the end of it. We requeue'd for a random and got.... GUNDRAK. omg. two level 78, two 79 and a level 80 queing and we got gundrak? W. T. F. thanks blizz. you really know what we like. whatevs.

So we manually picked the last four instances (the level 79-80 ones) and got Oculus. no wipes until Eregos. Wiped once on Eregos and got him the second time. it was rocky, but still pretty easy. The tank and i both dinged 80 in that instance.

So why blizz, why are you doing this to us? why are you subjecting us to this type of mockery? why are we only given subpar instances to do? i was doing gundrak two weeks ago. i dont want to do it again unless you're going to give me emblems on every boss. i dont even get rep. whats wrong with you? at level 79, i only want to do Pinicle, Oculus, Halls of Lightning and Culling of Strath. thats it. i dont want to deal with the other instances because they give me crap exp now. i dont want to deal with the lower instances because im trying to gear up to "skip" to heroics when i hit 80. i dont want to do the four instances i just mentioned at 80, on normal. i want to do heroics dammit. and i want to do ToC, FoS, PoS and HoR when i hit 80. and if i went through the whole LFD and took what you gave me in the ass, instead of demanding something that's actually challenging or fun, i'd still be stuck at 80, locked out of heroics and normal ToC, FoS, PoS and HoR, and forced to do lame normal level 79 instances just to meet YOUR gear requirement for the better stuffs.

So please blizz, i know that you want to keep the easy factor there, but if you've even monitored how my performance is in-game, you'll see that i almost always top dps charts. i've been through these instances over 500 times. i've done every single role there is to do (tank, heal, ranged dps, melee dps). i dont need easymode. i find it very insulting that a bunch of decent level 79's are stuck with... Gundrak(level76). seriously.
