When you open the Findr feature, you\u2019ll be presented with a picture and a brief description of another player, and you can decide whether they\u2019d be the right match for your party. Features include:<br \/>\n\u2022 Glance at a player\u2019s gear and achievement points for 3 seconds (maximum) before making a snap judgment about how well they\u2019ll tank your Mythic Keystone run.<br \/>\n\u2022 Swipe right to request a match and immediately send a party invitation.<br \/>\n\u2022 Swipe left to completely dismiss the player\u2019s entire existence; this is completely anonymous, distancing you from the other player\u2019s growing vortex of self-doubt.<br \/>\n\u2022 Once a match has been made, option to not message them right away, which makes it look like you\u2019re super busy and use Findr all the time.<br \/>\nWhen the time is right, gather your new groupmates together, and head off to whatever adventures lay in store!<\/div><div class=\"wowbq-clear\"><\/div>\n<h2>Community Sites<\/h2>\n<p>Besides us all obviously wanting Lightbound Undead now, WoWHeaD has offically changed their branding to WoWHeaD &#8212; and I&#8217;m personally really happy Perculia made this decision.
