Guild Wars 2

lately there’s been a surge in guilds and websites advertising in the raid LFG tool for people.
In itself, it’s intentions are good, they’re actually recruiting for the sake of raiding. But it is nonetheless not for the purpose of forming a party and go raiding. so for now I’ll flag them for LFG abuse.

but there might be a solution. a recruitment tab in the LFG tool, with sub-tabs for ‘general, pvp, wvw and elite content’ (elite refering to fractals and raids)

I don’t know about you, but at least during my active hours, the only thing up on LFG are raids selling and/or guild recruitment to begin with.

Actually, to be fair, the LFM tab is stock full of those. Whereas the LFG is full of people on 1/10 squads demanding [apparently near full parties of] other players to invite them. It’s hard to get a group started because people are looking to fill guild slots rather than pure pugging, and it’s hard to join anyone else for the same reason. So I think the recruitments are not “polluting” the LFG as it is right now, because there is nothing to pollute.

YOU are the one with the issue here.

They are using LFG as its intended, which is to find groups or services related to said content. That includes selling runs. I hope you are punished accordingly with filing false hyperbolic reports.

On top of that you have the audacity to come on the forums and virtue signal as if you have done a good deed.

That’s the whole problem. They’re not. they’re not using the LFG tool as intended.
I quote from anet: “the purpose of the Looking For Group tool is to form parties to play any of said content.” thats not what these people are doing. They are advertising their guilds and websites. I have no problem with selling runs, AND IF YOU READ MY POST YOU WOULD’VE KNOWN IT WAS ABOUT GUILD AND WEBSITE ADVERTISEMENTS AND NOT SELLING RUNS

I’m reporting people for not using the LFG tool properly.
