Hello all,

As you may know playing with people from your guid, or random people in GW2 via a party is super fun, it really adds an overall layer of fun and happy to the game. It makes the game more enjoyable, the game already is super polished (could do with much more) but when playing with people in a group.

The feature:
Remember in WoW you had the raid finder?, people would put up what they were looking for, as some would remember that did not quite work out (not many were using it).

Anyway, it would be like that except its for finding people to so certain things.
Examples:
" Looking for help for levelling (can’t finish story on by my self, i keep dying .)
" Looking for person to level with, i’m a level 21"
" Looking for farming buddies "
etc etc….
So it would kinda be like gw2lfg.net or gw2lfg.com even.

What this would do?:
This may increase the amount of players on GW2.
What? Thats a very big statement, how come?:
+ Because when your playing with someone else it really makes the game more fun, last night a lovely level 80 helped me level my new alt to 28 last night, I was up until 5am lol (drinking coffee and eating/ really enjoyed the game. I even bought gems (first time ever) at 4am because of the rush I was getting when playing with the level 80. (not because he was level 80 , any level is fine). We also picked up two others to help them level, it was a blast. One of the people too said they enjoyed it so much more now when we were in a group.

Now of course its an mmorpg and its to be played by your self too but sometimes it can be super fun to get in a group and have an extra blast.

Please Guild Wars 2 developers, please please look into this, even make an alpha for your selves and see if it works good.

Despite the fact thakitten (edit: "that" and "it" cannot be next to one another, gg filter over-zealously worried about a bird species) was mostly used to facilitate trading, GW1 eventually added an interface for advertising interest in exploration, mission and quest completion, guild recruitment, and dungeon parties.

I mention this because I have always felt a game like this can benefit from an in-game LFG tool of some kind (don’t get me wrong, the site is nice, but it’s all an extra step and has no real integration to the game and party interface) and there is precedent for it in Guild Wars.

---
As an aside, despite being more visually appealing, shame on gw2lfg.net for crawling gw2lfg.com to generate data.

They’re working on a looking for group tool already and it will be looking for groups for all kinds of content, not yet dungeons, so if you just wait patiently it’ll get here sooner or later. lol

The current “looking for group” method is bland, unspecific, and unused. GW1 was great and heavily relied on. I don’t see why they got rid of the method for GW2. Waiting next to a dungeon to find someone that is willing to wait with me is a pain. If there could be a Looking For Group box you could pull up and on it is a “dungeon” tab that can be seen by anyone in the game, and then local tabs for anyone in the territory and you type what specifically you are looking for. “LFG Ascalonian Catacombs” and it shows something like 3/5 for the size the party already is. “LFG Temple Lyssa”. “LFG champion dredge”. It would make communal playing so much easier.
