Let me say this up front, I despise the World of Warcraft LFD tool. I really do. I think that it basically killed the game as it regards anything other than end-game Raiding guilds. Everything else was now a Solo operations, and LFD groups are just sort of a ‘Dungeon with Player NPCs’. Sort of thing.
Sadly, with the inclusion of vertical gear grinding and gearcheck dungeon runs, I am afraid GW2 is going to NEED a LFD tool of some kind or other. Already, the community is splitting into the ‘Have’ and ‘Have Nots’ of gear levels.
Trying to find groups that want to do the now ‘Classic’ dungeons in GW2 is becoming very difficult. Even within a guild, almost everyone is now just running the vertical gear grind dungeon. Not much fun, actually.
