This LS round showed some real holes in the LFG tool I think.

a) for the dungeon. Why can’t we group with other players on different servers etc? should the LFG tool facilitate this also? the old LFG website did and was great. Players are not always active at the same times of the day and that would certainly help get people together. Also as we time down the popularity of this we are seeing less and less people at the top so why not have a non-server-specific version of LFG.

b) need a squad creator or a dare I say it “zerg” maker.. hah. Need a way to broadcast to others that there is a bunch of people doing the tower you should join. Not just to the map but to the whole server. If I login and I may check my LFG tool and I see 5-10-20 ppl doing the tower I might say yeah I might do that.

c) Similar to above but to elaborate. Currently the LFG tool doesn’t really show you much information.. groups blink up and are gone in an instance (which isn’t well explained to new players). This works ok for dungeons and fractals but not PVE.. as above need more ways to post information on events happening and the information stays up.. people just join. You could show how many players are in the tower (or current LS content) right now.. You could even “perma-post” the Queensdale/Frostgorge Zerg perhaps then accurately explaining the order etc.. some players like zerging so why not.. GW2 has opened my eyes to an MMO that you actually play with people naturally without needing to formalise everything into “parties” or “guilds” etc.. Not that those are bad things they are just next step things for most people.. first people should just naturally get together and play.. have conversations.. maybe start a guild.. no pressure. Other games are the other way around.. must be in a guild to play the game etc.. The LFG tool could be the noticeboard of these things etc.
