Guild Wars 2

The chat block needs to seriously be rethought, it’s already a huge pain finding dungeon parties as it is at some times and this thing will start blocking you for messaging once every 2 minutes which is an extremely reasonable rate in a high active room where your message gets pushed off almost immediately.

The method for blocking people needs to seriously be rethought so that it only affects real spammers like the goldspammers taking up half their chat, not people trying to get things done.

I disagree, I don’t want to see “LFG blahblahblah” every 5 seconds just like I don’t want to see goldspammers. Both are equally annoying and spammy to me. IF you want to get a group use the LFG tool, and supplement it with the occasional lfg chat.

I was in a party where I tried to mail some magic find food to each member… and spent most of the time that took waiting to be unflagged for excessive mailing so I could send the next one. :/

What lfg tool? If you’re talking about flagging yourself lfg then you’re talking about the most pointless mechanic in the game. Only people immediately around you see it, and it provides no information about what your lfg is even for.

The LFG tool is not useful. This game doesn’t necessarily need a WoW/Rift-style dungeon finder, but it needs something.

I think the game could use an LFG-tool like WoW had in TBC.

Basically this is how it worked : You post yourself as LFG to the dungeons/dungeon paths you want to find a group for. And by opening the tool, people would be able to see others LFG For the paths/dungeons. Then you have an option to invite them or send them a whisper, asking if they want to join you.

This system is really useful and doesnt need to be a 1button push.

Maybe we can get a “LFG” chat channel.

The LFG tool doesn’t work. Plain and simple. And like I said I was advertising at a VERY reasonable rate of once every 2 minutes, after my message had been pushed off chat log clearly.
