Guild Wars 2

I’m not the kind to have 1500 tokens of each dungeons sitting in my bank. I usually do the number of runs I require to obtain the gear I want. I also don’t have tons of gold.

My alt has reached lvl80 and he’s still wearing half Masterworks gear. Why? Because I can barely find a single “Old Dungeon” group. Sitting in Lion’s Arch for an hour, all I see is LFxM FotM lvlx. Don’t get me wrong, I got the monthly (7 Fractals) and I love the concept of this new dungeon. It’s just that running it won’t help me at all for the moment.

Another problem that makes me afraid for the long term is that people ONLY search groups for their FotM levels, since there is no way for them to level up otherwise. This effectively created an infinite number of new dungeons. I’m currently lvl2, but as I’m putting a stop to it while I get Exos from dungeons, I see the average FotM level getting higher and higher.

All that to say that especially since FotM was released, we really need a LFG tool. Something that would pop-up when we enter the portal and where we could choose a path (or level, for FotM) we want to do. The system would then put us in a queue, letting us do w/e we want while it fills the group.

I have encountered everything you just mentioned. LFG for “old” dungeons is now more challenging than ever with all of the different fractal groups out there. The fractal difficulties have created this severe divide of players all wanting to do different difficulty levels. Its not just LFG fractals its LFG fractal 1 or 2 or 3 or 45. A LFG tool is an important feature that really needs to be looked at. In its most basic form all we essentially need it to accomplish is just creating the group. It doesnt have to go the way of WoW and hold your hand and teleport your whole group to the zone / dungeon but it definitely needs to pair people up

This is very, very important now more than ever as it ruins map chat with LFG posts being even more frequent than the gold seller spam.

I also forgot to put it in my post, but I can’t even imagine the pain it must be to get a Story mode group these days. I don’t really care, since my main has completed all of them. However, I can see how painful it must be to new players who want to experience the story related to these dungeons, or even just to unlock the Explore mode.

This should be one of those top prioty features to implement now. It’s become increasingly difficult to find a group for non-fractal dungeons since the patch. This part of the game is beginning to feel like a dieing MMO, not one three months out from launch.

You can spam in LA for 30 mins LFG for any explorable and you aren’t guaranteed to get a group. It takes me a good 30 minutes to find a group if I don’t get lucky at the best of times, at the worst times to find a group I just log out.

People are going to start leaving if they can’t even access the content they want to access.

agreed with everything you just said. I know they have stated before that a LFG system is not currently being worked on and may be looked at in the future but its causing way too many issues right now to be ignored. This game has great grouping mechanics everywhere you look except for dungeons which was completely ignored for some reason. I really hope they make this a priority to implement in the very near future otherwise as you have already stated peoples interest will wane significantly if they cant find a group after a lengthy spam session in LA
