Public Games Should Operate like D1/D2

I hope that the system that goes live is not some system that pools people on "similar progress" and does some matchmaking algorithm. I hope there are a list of games where I can find tell the people that are in it before joining and where I can tell at least a little about their goal in the game. Not their quest progression; but a self-made description that puts forth their personal goal during that game session.

Mass matchmaking is absolutely horrible.

Let me preface by saying we don't quite know what features we will or will not have for launch regarding public game access. Public game matchmaking might be all there is, and it might not.

I don't disagree, but I'd also like to know for you (or anyone that wants to answer this), what would you like to know about the goals of a game before you join? What specifics that someone could enter into a game name encourage/discourage you to join?
