In Guild Wars 1 there was a party search panel that was added late in the game. It was a great tool and should be implemented in GW2.
I do not want to go to some third party site to find a group. I want to stay in game and get a party quickly while being able to do other stuff.
I just don’t trust unofficial websites and a party search panel in the game would be great.
Why this has not been available at launch is a mystery since towns are instanced.
