WTB LFG Function
I’m torn, on the one hand I can see the ease and convenience, on the other hand I did play WoW and I can understand why ANet didn’t implement something like this because it does reduce things to a boring anti-social grind.
I was not aware that there were any downsides to a LFG tool. How does it “reduce things to a boring anti-social grind”?
Anyway, one of the devs already said they’re working on improving this.

They did. It’s just that nobody is actually using it.
The LFG function is pretty lackluster. It just exists and does little else. It is one thing to say that a person is LFG, but another entirely to say specifically what they are looking for.
There needs to be a scrolldown filter that reflects what you want to do and need a group for. I don’t want to spam map chat in LA, because I feel like I’m being an annoyance when there isn’t any better way at the moment to find a group.
I am glad to hear that they are working on this though. This is a necessity for the long term health of the game, and sad that it wasn’t available at launch.
I think it’s more of people not knowing how it works. If you want to do dungeon, go to the dungeon map entrance and put LFG up. At least people in the zone can see that you’re interested in the dungeon.
Problem is most people dont bother changing their status. They are constantly ‘online’.
