LFG Channel
this is a good idea.
I also agree with this idea. People who don’t want to look for a group could easily disable it, thus clearing up map chat in places like LA, and as you said it would help people scattered across multiple maps to find groups. Win all around.

Decentralizing the game in general is a good idea. LFG channel and crafting hubs outside the cities (especially in Orr and/or Frostgorge Sound) would probably make the game run smoother.
I would go even further.
I would suggest a Instancemanager. You can apply for instances and are then listed as a Guy who looks for a Group. other groups which need additional member can look up the list and see that you are willing to come along.
Then and only if you are listed as a waiting member you are allowed to write in the global LFG Channel. So it works in all zones not only capitols.
Why you ask? Easy: While waiting for other member you can do events, hearts, farm what ever but are not limited to LA or the zone that instance you waiting for is in.
Like this you can farm stuff in Orr while looking for a group for CM explo and other people who are looking for a group too can read you wherever they might be.
Right now its kinda sad that I have to sit in LA or “Instancezone” to look for members instead of questing somewhere else.
