Guild Wars 2

With the absence of a LFG tool, we’re forced to post that we’re LFG in Map or say chat. This is fine except for the fact you cant post something in these channels more than 2 times before getting a “suppressed due to excessive messaging”. I can understand that this reduces spam in the channels. Problem is you cant type anything else…ever!!!! Either remove this function or put a LFG tool in game. Trying to find a group without being able to talk to anyone is… how do I say? WACK!!!!!

I second this as a quick fix.

But would like a cross-zone, cross-server, LFG as a true solution.

Yesterday I was even suppressed in my own party chat after saying “hi” and then “oops”. That’s messed up.

edit: I should clarify. I said those two things in party chat and a few others in map chat (can’t remember – but it was just “normal” LFMore stuff). But it suppressed all my messaging in both party and map chat. So I couldn’t message in party chat anymore.

Yeah that excessive messaging block sucks, even though it does help with keeping gold farmers from spamming so much. The LFG solution will be best for this situation, or a dungeon finder like in WoW where we can automatically be put into a group if we don’t really care what group we want to be in.

I tried sending potions to 3 of my party members in a dungeon so they could have an extra buff to fight a boss, and had to wait 2 minutes to send the third because I was suppressed for excessive messaging. The suppression is excessive and needs to be adjusted.

Since the game doesn’t have a LFG tool nor a Dungeon Finder, and there’s this messaging suppression thing that is really annoying, they need to develop anything that works, and fast.

I agree that it prevents spamming, which is way more annoying, but since they didn’t developed a LFG tool since game launch, they could AT LEAST develop a workaround, like a chat channel specifically for group search with no restriction. This way, at least, the map channel would be free from lots of LFG stuff, since it annoys a lot of people.

And the LFG feature on the Contacts panel is useless. Maybe it’s a future tool that’s being developed, but atm it’s good for nothing.

People say if you want to look for a group, go to the dungeon entrance and stay there on the /say channel. But it’s not the solution, ‘cause it’s stupid every time you have to go all the way there, and maybe you won’t find anyone, and you have to stand still there, doing nothing, wasting time.
