Guild Wars 2

Okay, I get it. Gold spammers and trolls are annoying in MMOs. But when I send 5 legit messages then am unable to advertise for my group for like the next 20 minutes I think the line needs to be drawn.

One solution could be a LFG tool similar to WoW where you can select the dungeon, type you want and even path you would prefer. Or perhaps you guys could get even create a LFG channel similar to /P or /M or /G or whatever. Maybe /L or something. I dunno. But I do know this whole message suppression this is really annoying in my opinion. Especially when all I am trying to do is play the kitten game. Please do something about this.

Anyone else agree/disagree with me? Please share your experiences to try and help this issue along. Thank you.

Yes, I agree. We need a MUCH better LFG system.

Right now, if you want to group up for a dungeon, you are stuck in LA. That means to do a dungeon that isn’t as popular as, let’s say CoF, AC, and TA, you will be sitting in LA for .5-1.5 hours.

A dungeon finder allows us to actually be out in the world while waiting for a group instead of being stuck in one place. We can actually play the game instead of spamming chat.

I don’t agree with an LFG channel simply because it will be abused by players. However, a server wide LFG lobby that can be accessed while players are actually playing would be nice and is becoming more and more necessary.

I absolutely agree. I would love to be out exploring this awesome world while looking for a dungeon that I want to do in a different zone without having to travel to LA.

Maybe they could add a feature to the H character menu along with the PVP and Traits and all that stuff.

I agree with both points.

a) if I can easily trigger the message through normal RP (i.e. not advertising -anything-) and be punished, there is a problem.

b) A better LFG has been suggested countless times already.

Agree that we need a lfg system asap.
It will improve gameplay and socializing, and improve gamers experience through all dungeons.
Now is difficult, and a real waste of time gathering groups for dungeons, and a lot of people give up instead of training.
This game is so beautiful, and with a lot of advanced features, that is really a big gap not having a dungeon/party matching system imo.

You basically have two choices: you can either play the game in the world and almost certainly never find a group for a dungeon (unless you are in a mega-guild or something).

OR you can look for dungeons all day and almost NEVER go out into the actual world.

Choosing either effectively removes a VAST amount of content from the game.

Instead of a random DF, how about a lobby list of players that have flagged themselves as lf that dungeon. That way, you can message them directly instead of spamming chat. However, it shouldn’t be just a list of names. It should also include how many times you’ve been grouped with that particular player and how many of those groupings were completed, i.e. they didn’t bail if a certain item didn’t drop. This allows you to build a group of people you already know without the risk of turning people into dungeon bots. It should also include an option to write a quick review of that player that only you see, so if they were a jerk or not helpful you could leave a note and pass them for the next person.

Agreed. Add LFG channel PLEASE.

A LFG system with tabs for Dungeons, Exploring, etc. would be nice.

Hell, anything that is server wide and allows us to say what we are looking for and find people looking for the same would work.

Yea this would particularly help the people who are interested in looking for Story mode also which most of the time almost nobody wants to do.

Please add this, most modern MMO’s have a dungeon finder, just GW2 is behind on such a simple feature.

Maybe the NPC at each dungeon entrance can give you a communing stone item.
You’ll get 1 for each dungeon.
Then when you want to look for a group for that dungeon you double click it and a window pops up for that dungeon’s lfg list.
Keep the stones in your inventory, or put them in a bank, or chuck them out and go back to the NPC later to get another one when you need it.

Please add this, i dont want to sound like an kitten but having a global lfg channel is a basic addition that shouldve been input.

Honestly with all the cool features in this game I was dumbfounded when I couldn’t find a LFG tool. Hopefully they will add one soon with an upcoming patch or something.

Here is my original response to a previous thread on the same topic.
