Guild Wars 2

The lfg tool prevented me yesterday from joining groups after being part of two groups.

I used the lfg tool and joined a group for AC Path3. After completing, i left the group and about 3 minutes later i joined another group for AC Path1.

The group filled up with professions and player-levels i didn´t want to run with. So i left the group and wanted to join another one.

But that was blocked already blocked by the lfg tool. After waiting 5 minutes, i was able to join a group again.

Same thing a few hours later. We completed some FotM 20+ with a pug found with lfg tool.

We wanted to do some 10+ after that and joined another group via lfg tool. As the group didn´t fit our demands we left, and guess what? We could not join a different group, because of 5 Minutes block.

Quote of official wiki:
“The Looking For Group tool shows groups looking for players. The tool is designed to allow groups to be formed quickly in order to proceed to content. "

So why am i blocked for being part of 2 groups in total and leaving only one group, cause the requirements did not fit?

Must be a bug, right?

(P.S.: I am not posting this to harm you. I like your game and want it to become even better.)

I don’t think that’s a bug, i think it’s a mechanic to not exploit the tool and get people joining several groups in little amount of time. So you can join just 1 group each 5 minutes? sounds good to me. If you don’t want to play with certain classes then it’s your problem because all them can be good enough for each dungeon as long as player knows how to play it.

Yeah, “play like you want”, i know …

The lfg tool doesn´t function like it should do. Please re-read the quote of the wiki.

If finding a group nearly does take longer, than the encounter itsself, something is wrong.

Why should I be punished for wanting a group that fits me? If someone isn´t as nice as me and is ranting at me, I have the right to leave and shouldn´t be punished for that.

Yes, I know, maybe it´s his right ranting at me, cause thats the way he plays like he wants.

Antiexploits mechanics will always have this kind of situations. Living with them is better than 2 random players joining 500 groups and disbandind them by kicking out the leaders.

I have to agree with Elrey here although I understand OP’s frustrations. There’s a big risk for trolls (as well as gold spammers) to dominate the tool and abuse the system if they can join groups without limits.
