Guild Wars 2

I get why Dungeon finder is not a thing but LFG, does it create elitism when it is easiere to request anything you want and people can and will require you to have best gear on lowest levels? Yes

Would it change the game if you could join your own levels and feel in general a lot more like a game than a grind for new players? I honestly think so, it is not a u-normal sight to see a new player saying that the players here require way to much early on for a game, which does make sense, it is way to easy to level up for older players.

But in all honesty, I personally do not care about dungeons, I run arah without one shot, everyone welcome, and no jumping over map on a daily basis (sometimes solo aswell).
My reasoning for a raid finder is simple, I would like to put time up for raids, I would like to do them, but do not want to use days to set up a group of people on a day that I might or might not be able to. The LFG is rather bad at that, if you want to simply start with raids, I do get that there is some “elites” out there looking for a people who have tried it etc, but that would be the reason behind LFG I guess, those who are willing and capable of putting days into this game, to find the right people who can do everything perfectly, and people who just want to do it with a decent enough group to actually enjoy this game mode.

Just for the future, because the comments on these kind of threads are rather easy to guess….
No I can not use a 5 man max LFG to find a fast group, because no one want to just find random people and play, myself included. The raid finder still find the right amount of people to do the job.

Yes I do get I can just not play it, if you think it is a part of the game mode……..But why, when they can do this and satisfy A LOT of people, not only myself, but probably change the whole game.

(Just in case if anyone actually think of going so far as to talk about politics and how lowering expectation in a game, would somehow make the general public in-experienced and somehow make a comparison about real life……….like lol, we all know this is a game….so many factors in real life is not here that it can not in anyway remind anyone of real life….)

The LFG tool revamp is already in dev, for some of the reasons you’ve stated.

…I didn’t quite follow some of your post, but you might be glad to hear that they’re working on adding Raids to the LFG tool. No details on whether that’s simply a new section being added to the LFG, or whether they’re adding more features like 10-person groups.

Raid Finder =/= LFG tool. In case the above poster didn’t know.

The current LFG tool doesn’t get me into groups before the LFG message expires. Raid finders allow me to play the game while the game looks for a group for me.

If it takes a long time to add LFG for raids, then they might as well just add raid finders.

That sounds great

I would read my comment, but to answer shortly of things I have already answered to in my post….
LFG only require best of the best and certain groups, it is hard to start a group on solo basis, the LFG does not give a timer of which will join. It is all around messy since LFG is a 5 man finder, not a 10 man etc. LFG requires you to either put profession/things you can use and wait for x amount of time (we all know that no matter your profession, you will wait for a loooooooooooong time, you will find out that no matter profession (trust me, got guard, ele and thief/temp/dragon hunter/DD) that you search up on.

The best of the best can already find groups because they are the best.

The best of the best? “The best of the best”, as you explain it, already can find groups because they got other means to find groups, it being already having a group or is on youtube, you should really read my comment………..In all honesty, if in game next time, just try to put a lfg while doing w/e and see how long it takes, you can even write that you are experienced, will not make things a lot faster…….
The whole idea is that I get that if I really want to, I can use hours to set up a decent group that Gw2 could have shorten and made less frustrating by making a raid finder (which they are doing) but in the end, it does not make sense to use so much time on a system that is worse in every way, I honestly can not find a single reason to not have dungeon/raid finder over LFG, beside overly elitism, but even then it is rather limited.
