I don’t think the players themselves actually understand what they want.
You don’t want the entire lfg to refresh instantly when a new lfg is posted, or one is filled and removed…. but you DO want it up to date, so you aren’t scrolling through old and filled lfgs before they disappear.
A fast refreshing the lfg in general is a wonderful thing.
The heavy Silverwastes traffic and lfg spam is to blame moreso than the lfg coding for the problems people are having with joining parties.
I mean…. you don’t see the problem anywhere else except open world content.
What needs to be done is, add newer lfg’s to the bottom of the list, and keep existing non-filled lfgs where they are, and don’t refresh the entire list of lfgs.
When an LFG is filled, move everything below it upward.
Another issue is the scroll animation.
The scrolling animation from the right to left, while it may be aesthetically pleasing to see under low traffic, becomes a joke during high traffic.
The animation plays long enough that an lfg may be filled or created in that time, the lfg refreshes, and the scrolling starts all over again.
Removing the scroll animation from the lfg utility will fix the problems encountered with high lfg traffic.
Though, this will not really help as much as people think it will.
Having an lfg tool under high traffic is going to be almost just as frustrating nomatter how streamline the tool actually is, and its minor flaws are only really showing due to the immense amount of traffic.
You are still going to have problems joining parties before they are filled, since 923487293842938472 people can’t all join the same 90% SW party at once.
