Map chat, especially zones with dungeons, and in Lion’s Arch, is swamped with LFG and LFM messages.
It could be set up similar to GW1’s trade chat, and those not interested could turn it off.

While I’m on the subject, it seems funny to me that they got rid of the “Holy Trinity” of mmo’s to get rid of the long waits for groups, but made dungeons for parties only, instead of soloable, and ended up with the same long waits, and constant messaging for “more,” or “groups,” or specific professions as before.

I agree in principle, having a LFG chat would make things a bit easier, problem of course is that who is going to police it. Assuming the LFG is map specific (if not then the problem will be even more likely) there is still the issue of spam and of course getting people to use it and not the general chat.

In GW1, using the abreviations WTB, or WTS, automatically posted your message in the Trading chat channel.
LFG, LFM, LF1-4M, could automatically post your message in the LFG chat in the same way.
As to getting people to use it, if it’s automatic, they’d have no choice.
The Trading channel in GW1 used a different color text, as do the map, local, and party chats in GW2. I’m sure that a color would be chosen for an LFG chat.
Once initiated, most folks would notice the text color being different from map chat, and this would bring the option to shut it off to their attention.
As to spamming, I think that there’s an automatic detector in place. I got banned from chatting about five minutes after forgetting how to divide stacks, and trying several things. (It’s Alt + left click btw)
