As some have predicted it’s become very difficult to get a party now for lower levels. Because of the lack of clear explanation in-game as to how the fractal dungeon works some players will drop after completing one or two shards because they are tied of whatever. Although ArenaNet wrote a very clear explanation of how these work on the website I really think it’s critical to have this information in-game. When the player enters the dungeon you should have had an explanation of how it all works so people would more mindful before dropping group.
As with many of the other things you’ve done this feels half-baked.
Back when Colin Johansen was doing a live Twtich feed on the (then) upcoming Lost Shores event he was asked if ANet was working on a cross-server LFG tool and he said that is currently not being worked on…. I just don’t understand how you could build something the play mechanics of a fractal dungeon and not foresee a lack of players available for the lower-levels very soon. Here we are a week from Lost Shores arrival and it’s very difficult to get a group for low level fractals now.
I feel it’s as if we continue to watch the game (and company) unravel with some of these decisions that just don’t make sense.
Please feel free to take a look and contribute to the discussion I have begun on the player suggestions forum. It is about this very problem.
