I don't appreciate you saying that people with opinions counter to your own don't count.
But regardless, I like most of your streamlining ideas except for the LFG. It's not that hard to find groups ingame right now, and even less so because you only need 4 people. Slowing it down a little places more importance on the objective, and more importance on keeping the group together.
I also like grouping with the other players and actually having them talk sometimes. It feels more like a community, it's more fun.
One of the reasons I like this game is because there is no automated LFG.
