Guild Wars 2

Use the main hub in fractals to dictate the difficulty of the runs. For example, once in the main hub, a player can access a console to select the level of difficulty the group will attempt. This can either be displayed in tiers or the current numerical system used in the game. If a group chooses a difficulty setting that proves to be too difficult, they could always return to the main hub to adjust the difficulty settings. This would greatly alleviate a lot of the problems associated with finding a group for fractals.

Use the main hub to gain new members to the group should a player leave or dc. Once a group reaches a check point, clear a fractal, or wipe, a new or previously dc’ed player waiting in the hub can then rejoin the group.

This… right here. While I don’t think group finding is the worst thing in the world, that a group can literally waste their time under certain fractal combinations due to a single DC is absurd.

Hell, it doesn’t even require a DC. I had a pissy bint Guardian the other day that got stuck in one of the cultist cages… it was clearly bugged, she couldn’t destroy and neither could we. She was so upset that she coudldn’t get her chest that she straight left instead of just queueing to move on and finish.

That kind of garbage shouldn’t ruin it for everyone, and I think someone should have known better over at Anet. Here’s hoping they do, at least, address it.
