Guild Wars 2

I know the LFG is out of it’s beta phase, but I think it has been out for a while, that there may be some changes it could benefit from.

So from my own experience and usage, I think:

• “Personal Story” should be moved either to the top, or right behind “Living World”, as the two go hand in hand in a way. Many people tend to post on “Living World” when they need help with their personal story, because hardly anyone looks at the “Personal Story”, and my belief is because the “Personal Story” tab is on the bottom pile and if it were to be moved closer to it’s twin category “Living World”, it would help to navigate better between the two. And it’s also confusing because the new living story is really part of your personal story, or a continuation of it, so it can become confusing in which category to post under.

• “Fractal of the Mists” 20-39 should be separated to 20-29 and 30-39 to be in consistence with how the rest is categorized. You need a little bit more of agony resist when you get to the 30’s and the fractal instabilities make it a challenge for people only used to the normal fractal levels. So separating them makes sense to me.

• “PvP” would have to change from “Team and Custom Arena” to “Unranked and Ranked Arena” or “Play and Compete”. I would think.

• “Living World” may be too broad of a category, as anything can go in here, making it very active, which is good, but it can become very messy as well. {Suggestion} would be to add a “World Bosses” sub tab, like the sub tabs in “Dungeons” etc., so people spamming Teq can go under that tab. There is so much open world content that it can be hard to distinguish all the different posts made. Organizing it some more would go a long way.*

I would also suggest that depending on what game mode you are in, whether it be in pve, pvp or wvw, the relevant category in the LFG should go to the top. So e.g if you are in the pvp lobby, the “PvP” category would shoot straight to the top in the LFG, etc. So basically if you are wvwing, you could care less to see the “Living World” category and you would be more likely to look under “WvW” to look for a party, so opening up the LFG, first thing you would see is the “WvW” tab opened. And maybe this would see people posting under “PvP” and “WvW” more.

These are just some minor tweaks, more of a QoL thing.

Any thoughts?!

One thing that could be a useful feature on the LFG tool. Is to remove inactive players from your friend list that have not removed you. They take up space. And an eye sore when you count how many of them you blocked. But that’s just me.
