I really miss the GW1 party screen where you could view LFGs and WTBs. This game really, really needs a system that is more conducive to forming groups.
Consider the current system; the best you can do is set your status as “Looking for Group” and type 2 or 3 public LFG messages before you get squelched for talking too much. It’s a crapshoot – really.
I’m a solo player and presently I need 3 or 4 more fractals to get my (first ever) monthly. I’m pumped about it, but my excitement is dwindling because it can take hours of town chat to get a group together.
This is unacceptable for a MMO in 2012. Please consider revisiting the system for LFG and group-forming.
