I'd like to propose a modest change to the Quick Match screen in multiplayer if I may. Not everyone wants to do "all dragons all day" and yet the vast majority of random PUG's are dragon runs. Don't get me wrong, I love the new content and all, but there are times I'd like to just relax without having to play "Where's my arse?" with a large freakin' reptile. They take considerably longer to run, have a significantly higher risk without a truly tangible corresponding reward, and I swear that Storm Dragon is out to get me! I mean it! Plus there's that awkward shuffling that goes on when a group of random strangers is trying to silently decide who's going to pay the tab and pony up the dragon hammer.
How about instead of just a random slider as it is now, you put in check boxes or some similar mechanism for folks to choose which areas they'd like to have a match made? This way, the folks who are unrepentant dragon hunters can still do that, and those of us who want to do anything but a dragon match don't have to keep dropping out of matches as soon as they see the Fereldan skyline?
I just had the matchmaker attempt to put me in six consecutive different dragon runs back-to-back. Even if the dragon content is weighted, that seems a bit excessive. I know folks are still running the "old three", but for some reason the matchmaker seems quite insistent on wanting to put folks into the new one.
In a similar vein, how about an audio and/or obvious visual cue when you're in a group and the leader decides to change the settings? I've actually queued up in a Routine or Threatening non-dragon group and then suddenly the Leader thinks we're all the Expendables and switches to a Perilous (or higher!) dragon match. I guess if you're astute and are paying attention to the text in the upper right corner you might catch it, but how many regularly watch that area prior to clicking "Ready?"
tl;dr Requesting check boxes to replace random slider in MP screen.
