Since the game has gone more large scale, after the initial month of HoT release I now find it impossible to get into a decent map. Every time I log in, even at peak times, I get dumped into a dead map with zero chance of doing any of the map’s meta. Often I then get that stupid dialog that tells me that I am in a low population map. I always accept and it ALWAYS dumps me into another stupid low population map; of then the low pop dialog will appear again within 2 mins. How bad is that?
The LFG tool now NEEDS a my zone only filter, it’s very hard to get into a taxi with two pages of taxis for other maps happening as well. And relying on taxis is REALLY bad game design as players try to get past this bad game aspect. Maybe afk players need to be booted (though not aggressively as PvP/WvW, just something to help the current bad situation.)
Give us the ability to enter a populated zone or significantly improve the algorithm for placing players in an instance. GW1 town instances had a vastly superior mechanism.
