And I'm not surprised they agree, since they want to market their products to the audience that will net them the biggest profit. I may be too old-school in the way I want to do things, but the next generation absolutely needs these things arranged and spoon fed to them. My son is 13, and can't barely handle cooperating with four other random players in a match of league of legends. I couldn't imagine him actually trying to put together a team of his own.

In twenty years the genre will change again and my son will be complaining about how much he misses the good ol' days when MMOs had raid finders, maps, and easy-mode quest markers. All the while his son will tell him that the whole sitting around in a queue for 2 minutes to find the necessary people to play the game with isn't any fun and lucklly MMO devs agree. That's why they'll have one-hit kill legendary boss mobs in an empty room that require no groups for instant gratification.
