The days of not finding anyone for that PUG instance run is over. World of Warcraft is introducing a cross server LFG (Looking For Group) system that will open the door to many new friends..and enemies. We already saw the introduction of Cross Server Battlegrounds and Arena several years ago, and this seems like the logical evolution for the game. It should be available for patch 3.3.

While some argue that this takes out alot of the fun elements from your own server, practically it is too good of a feature for Blizzard to pass up. For those who have been pampered in Guilds all their lives, it might seem like a useless feature. Why would they want to group with someone they don’t know, who probably has questionable gear and spec, and actually group with what could be a ninja from another galaxy.

Perhaps the amount of ‘ninjas’ and ‘wipers’ and ‘disconnecters’ with cross server LFG system might increase, this is something that the average loner or ‘rogue’ player, or even small guild player will accept. It is for sure better than standing around Ironforge or any other big city, dancing with level 1 guild banks, gold sellers, and beggers.

Perhaps someone should already be starting a PUG black list or rating list or ninja list for all ‘server groups’. People could then check slight history of certain players before they waste hours grouping with them and decide to never again trust the Cross server LFG in World of Warcraft Cataclysm.
