Infuriated.
Use gw2lfg.com; best way to find a group if you don’t have a regularly scheduled guild run or something (and what they should have in game… =_=’ )
If you post the exact same message more than 3 times in around 3-5 mins, you get suppressed. Change the way you say it and limit your post to once every 3-5 mins and you won’t get suppressed.
Alternatively, use gw2lfg.com
Nanuuk (80 Mes), Guardian Nuuk (80 Guard),
Warrior Nuuk (80 War)

Wow, thanks guys. gw2lfg.com is great!
Yes go use a third party website for a feature that should be in a AAA game title but still isn’t despite them taking a drastically dungeon focused approach. No one else finds this to be a problem?

Truth. The other day I was mailing some crafting materials to a friend. I sent 1 mail. A few minutes later I tried to mail them some more and I got a message saying I was being suppressed due to excessive messaging. How can sending 1 mail be excessive and this being the only mail I’ve sent in days, maybe even a week or more? Working as intended imo.
Anyways…lfg tool in game would be nice.

They did originally say (explorable) dungeons would be the hardest content in the game designed for a group of coordinated players, aka not PuGs. If you keep that in mind, it explains why dungeons can seem PuG unfriendly (no grouping system, instances tied to the leader).
The social aspect of this game is already so shallow as it is. Implementing an in-game pug system will make it even worse: removing the possibility of any semblance of a long-term in-game connection between players.
But this is not the root of the problem. I understand its simply a behavioral need that arises due to a particular phenomenon. The root of the problem is the dungeons system and their phat lootz. Terrible, terrible implementation.

Reason #525 of why the player base in this game has crashed.

I get it, instead of making the content hard, just make it hard to find a group, makes peeerfect sense.
I can’t find a group in firefall? Fine. I can’t find a proper battle in PS2?(one that’s not a complete faceroll). Fine. I even rev up WoW to see if there’s a group for a world boss, nope. That’s ok. Guild wars 2 is always there. I was taking a break, but I’m in a grouping mode.
Ten minutes later, I’m suppressed for saying “Ranger LFG for AC story mode” three times.
Three times.
Three times.
If there’s a problem with me posting that I’m looking for a group once every few minutes, then integrate a LFG system. This is ridiculous. I feel like I’m playing a single player RPG and it’s only midnight on a saturday. This is screwed up.
It does that if you try to same thing repeatedly. Stop spamming every 30 seconds and you’ll be fine.

First, your first three game choices were the right one… GW2 is not worth playing. But if you insist…
Get a guild and friends. You shouldn’t expect to be able to do MMO content with just any random players.
Vary the phrasing and it gets you buy the anti-spam AI.
It’s rare I get suppressed these days.

With all due respect, some of us wouldn’t mind if it were left up to us whether we want to try to PUG dungeons using LFD or not.
Without having to wait for a specific group makeup, like you have to in WoW, the dungeon finder would pop instantly every time with no wait.
The other difference is that in WoW you can put yourself in the dungeon/raid queues and go do other things in the meantime.
