a lfg system would be bad I lost 50s in ac today. Myself lv 80 and 3 lv 35 and one lv 75 these guys were bad players did not follow marks didnt listen to walkthroughs but appart from that they could not do much dps. So i for one will no longer group with anything but 80s from now on; im sure alot of people feel the same way.
As I said in the original post this isn’t for hard core players or elitists, although it could be made to specify minimum level and number of times completed, to match similar level players.
AC is a freaking level 30 dungeon. A Hard one true, but if you have to be level 80 just to go into it, it is pointless allowing people to try at lvl 30.
My daughter would have been happy to go in at 30 and potentially get mauled just to see how it was. (not my play style but, hey she is tough and really good at games)
I intend on trying this when I reach level 30, but I am going to be asking for some Guild Members to help. She should really join a Guild, because that’s the whole point of the game. No match system will be able to predict how players are going to react when they go inside of the Dungeon. People are people, and a lot of people aren’t going to listen or try to strategize when going into a Dungeon. Instead, she should just join a Guild, introduce herself, and when she can talk in there, even if she’s roaming the map. That’s how it works. If she has time to play the game, she has to time to join a Guild – it only takes a few seconds.
And then, she doesn’t even need to make friends. Being in a Guild automatically gives you friends. Even the other members don’t know you, they will help you. She can just ask for help with a Dungeon, and guild members will help. Just a suggestion for her, personally.
Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhh.. about that. I’ve done multiple games where there were guilds and I was never “friends” with more than two peeps in them at a time. So that’s a flawed concept by design. Also for people who aren’t interested in playing the game that way this is forced punishment for not following a philosophy that really shouldn’t be forced on someone who payed for this product. (it makes them not want to buy products produced by this company again and tell others to do the same)

(it makes them not want to buy products produced by this company again and tell others to do the same)For a “likes to play on my own and not be part of an organization” player like myself, or a “I really only have 2 hours to play a day” player this would be a great feature to have. My suggestions regarding this:
1) Make it a feature that either works in the map you are currently in, or (for super amazing) across your world so that even if you are farming in Orr to pass time you can look for a Group to do Ascalon.
2) Don’t restrict it to just dungeons. Have separate tabs for farming groups, exploration, events and other such things.
3) If you want to be super SUPER amazing. Make a random group generator that will gather a group that will pair people up based on level and activity sought to do (this can easily be restrictive for dungeons to require that persons be the minimal level to participate, and have completed to story aspect to prompt for exploration).
And as every class is more or less on the same level of offensive and healing capabilities, all this will allow is quick combinations of similarly interested persons for activities that will require skill on the players part (the true heart of Guild Wars game play).
-Think Random Arenas but with more flexible objectives
4)This is more in regards to my proposed random group assigner, but can also be applied for a regular group formation feature.
-Restricting how often players are allowed to use this feature in a set amount of time, per activity (for instance 3 times for any explorable dungeon will conform to the current set standards of maximum rewards given for completing each route taken). This will help curb abuse and promote groups that find they work well together to continue working together either by joining each others guilds, or simply friending each other.

This also encourages more people who play casually to play more often, and in all likelyhood makes them more receptive to actually buying expansions.
