Kotaku
You can tell the current obsessions of Kotaku writers by whatever subject they slavishly follow. For Crecente? It's Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Ashcraft? Spelling console names in Capital Letters. Eliza, of course, posts mostly about Playboy editorials she disagrees with. And me? World of Warcraft.
So he's another one of those eyeroll-worthy posts of mine. I've long lamented exactly how inelegant World of Warcraft is when it comes to getting a group together. Most people do the vast majority of their quests solo, because there's just no good automated system for finding a group for any one quest.
Burning Crusade looks to change that. Blizzard will be adding a button next to your social tab to either join a group or create a new one. You can specify the quest, battleground, dungeon, raid or zone and Burning Crusade will put together the rest.
The proof is in the pudding, of course, and there's no guarantee that trying to put together a raid group won't equal a pudding full of five priests. But still, it's better than the current paradigm: motherfucking nothing.
