lo folks, found this today, changes to LFG, the more random the grp the better the rewards, gold and extra badges!

A good idea in part, but not everybody will look at it as rewarding players taking a risk, instead more punishing people for running with friends and guilds.
And 'random' raid pugs will never happen work because the raid leader will still demand achievements and disband the raid lol.
Personally I like the idea, I just hope the money is the only bonus. I don't mind losing 60g for running with friends/guild, but to lose emblems for not pugging is just going against the whole idea of guilds and playing with friends......still it's the PTR so not final. Also alot of things blizzard has announced/tested in the past have look questionable but have worked out fine.
