Edit: Fix coming Tuesday! (http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2p2p54/lfg_will_be_fixed_on_tuesday/)

Seriously… When trying to get a taxi into a good Silverwastes map, I could hardly click on ‘join’ fast enough. I literally had half a second to respond before it would flash again because of all the new lfg listings – a split second doesn’t leave us much time to react!

And on another note… what if you were epileptic in this particular case? The amount of times the groups flash from right to left (every time a group is full, or disappears, or a new lfg is added to & from the lfg interface) is mindboggling.

Can we have it so that if a lfg listing becomes full (no longer needed), or is an old listing, they just fade to grey? And allow us to refresh it ourselves to see new and current groups looking to party up (and to erase any greyed-out old listings), and PLEASE for the love of all things good, please remove the constant flashing of groups – it makes it near on impossible to join ANY group. I want the listings to be stable so I can actually click on them >_< this means too that new lfg listings should stay on the interface until they are greyed out – at which point WE refresh the list to erase it, so we can actually click on a group we want to join without it going ballistic on us and making us join unintended groups.

Great… now all the groups in the LFG system are greyed out because I’ve attempted to ‘join too many parties recently’ – yeah, that’s because IT FLASHES EVERY SECOND AND IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO JOIN ONE.

OMG I’m so angry right now… Fix your lfg system please, I’m about to pull my hair out.

They added the flash/scroll in thing this last patch, it’s terrible.

I’ve bugged it because it makes the tool impossible to use if there’s a high volume, I’d encourage evveryone to do that.

Restarting the game resets the “You joined too many groups” counter. Client side protections are so useless lol

Load testing certainly. Their test pool likely wasn’t consistently large enough to see the full effect

It is visible only if you have lot of groups that constantly change their roster on the same page. Which rarely happens in test environment (unless specifically tested for), but is common in more popular LFG subgroups on live servers.

Actions, not words.

Its pathetic isn’kitten They also cherry pick only positive threads/commenters to interact with when they do remember to deal with the forum – im not blaming them for steering clear of the odd frenzied mob till it dies down but passive aggressive cheerleading and studious avoidance of basic comms like letting us know about THIS is embarrassing for them and frustrating for us.

Zaoda — thanks for updating the initial post so that everyone sees the info!

As far as communications, you guys are right: This is not how the information should have been provided, and we apologize. I also have to say that while the bug fix may be scheduled for Tuesday, there’s always a chance that the fix could fail QA review or something of that nature. So it is a priority, and it will be fixed, and most likely that will happen on Tuesday of next week.

I’m going to try to ensure that we provide details like this in all languages and on our forums, so that everyone benefits. Thanks for making us aware of this situation.
