Guild Wars 2

As the title says, i would love to see a looking for group system between servers.
Actually its hard to find a group for dungeons.
My waiting time for finding group for Arah and other dungeons is something like 1 and 2 hours. This is boring really.
Arenanet should get the positive points from the mmos of success and implement on Guild Wars 2.

Aren’t you using http://gw2lfg.com ?

That site didn’t help at all while I was trying for weeks to find a group for Arah explorable. I was always 1-2 people short of a full group.

So instead of ruining the dungeons by removing WP rushing, they should just implement a proper Dungeon Finder not an “improved” LFG tool.

Which Arah path? I’m constantly seeing there LFG posts for every Arah path, except path 4.

Isn’t it possible that there were few people interested in doing the dungeon at the time? I mean, why do you assume that with a in-game LFG tool you would automatically have no trouble finding people for the dungeon you want?

Common sense, maybe?
It’s not an assumption, since a proper Dungeon Finder has been proven quite helpful when it comes to creating groups.

Yes, a in-game dungeon finder will make it easier to form groups. However dungeons with little demand, will still continue to be on low demand (like Story mode on most dungeons, Arah path 4, etc.). A Dungeon Finder tool won’t fix that; better incentives are needed for some dungeons/paths.

I probably wouldn’t say that for one key thing: there are no dedicated roles to wait on. Meaning that instead of waiting 30 min ~ 2 hours on a queue as a DPS (since I’m waiting for a tank and/or healer to log on), the queue time should be considerably shorter since the role of the party member is usually dynamic.

I stand by what I’ve said. You can literally find dozens of LFG posts anytime in http://gw2lfg.com for a COF run, and whenever I’m up for it I can find a group in less than two minutes. However when I post for a CM story run, I give up after an hour because nobody ever joins. I don’t expect a in-game Dungeon Finder to change this scenery much.

I suppose you have a point there— but also consider that some people are very dependent on Quality-of-Life features on other games. For those people, they depend too much on the features to do the dirty work for them. Some might post an “LFG” request but may not have the incentive to join other groups who are “LFM”. It’s awkward like that … but I do agree that there could be more incentives to do the less-traveled paths. Maybe a Lodestone or two, a small chance for a random exotic, or just a stash full of T6 materials. I guess it would depend on the difficulty of the path in question.

if i could do arah path 3 more often, i could learn to play it better. however, the lfg site specifies “experienced only”, which excludes myself.

> implying i need 440 more arah tokens for legendary.
