I believe that the biggest problem with dungeons is not difficulty or party make-up but in finding a party in the first place. The current system of asking people in lion’s arch (of which only a minority are there to find dungeon companions) or going to the actual zone (filled with mostly players who are below the dungeon level or who are just exploring, doing quests, etc – ie. not interested in the dungeon) is not an efficient system. I was wondering if the community had any suggestions to make finding a party for all dungeons easier? My personal suggestion would be to create areas at the entrances to dungeons (not sure if I want waypoints there or not) that would allow players to actually meet and see other players who are looking for companions for that specific dungeon. Any thoughts?

I’d like to see an actual LFG tool for both Explorable and Story Mode dungeons, complete with teleport to the dungeon and back to where you started from.

What about a special dungeon channel for each dungeon or all together. You can customize what channels you like to see just like the say chat, map chat etc. Ofc this must have to cover all areas, not just the one the dungeon is located in or it will make no difference. There are many problems with this also, like world wide spam.

Another idea is to make a separate tab, just like the trading post with party search, if you are interested in playing a dungeon you can just look it up there and see if any players like to do it or any parties being formed for it.

I am sure there are more ways and I agree that atm only a few dungeons have players outside waiting to do them, AC and Arah for example.
