@thegrimm, No a guild mate and I had created the group for fractals and had been waiting 5-10 mins before people started to show up in the group so unless one of the others joining was in a silverwastes LFG group and merged parties without knowing, I have no idea how they got merged or crossed
This is actually a plausible explanation. What gets me is that something like this happened to me twice in ~20 minutes. REALLY WEIRD!!!
Twice in~20 mins is weird for sure but then again im sure stranger things have happened before

Hmm, I wonder how he ended up in there, while looking for SW. Weird. Even weirder that it shows it was changed from it’s original listing.
Can you create a new LFG while in a LFG? At work right now so can’t try this.
Just tested, if you are in a LFG group already, going to that tab allows you to remove the listing or edit description.
If you join a LFG, same thing as well as in the chat log it says the description has been changed upon joining
Im guessing we did encounter a glitch though because out of the hundred times I have used LFG this is the first I have had that happen, ive had a few crosses before but they were dungeon vs dungeon not fractals vs silverwastes.
I will get into a fresh Silverwastes, and create a group in the LFG tool to taxi people into an otherwise fairly empty map.
I will have people join my group, then hijack it for other purposes. They never taxi into Silverwastes. They end up kicking me from the group I myself started, informing me in the process that the group is “not an SW taxi group!”
This is not a big problem (at worst, a small amount of time wasted), but does qualify (IMO) as a bit of a bizarre and senseless non-sequitur. Why would people do this? How could people be this confused?
Happens to me reliably a couple times a week, including just before posting this.
First Update: Happened to me AGAIN, just after posting this (19:10 server time), by a character named “Alexito”. Started a taxi group, random people joined but did not taxi, then I was kicked from the group. Sent annoyed whispers to perpetrator, received no response. If this is going to happen frequently, it WILL be a big problem.
See attached screen shot.
Second Update: Second screen shot is of the earlier incident that triggered this post. If you read the fine print in the second screen shot, it appears my group was hijacked for a level 9 fractal! First screen shot is of subsequent incident described in my “Update”. All users reported in-game for LFG abuse.
Are people hijacking unrelated groups because they are suppressed? If so, I need a way to report this!!! Could this be a bug in the LFG tool and just an honest mistake? Has anyone else seen anything like this?
Well since you posted this here, I thought I should clarify that the LFG you joined, as the fifth person there for removing the group from the LFG, was for a Fractal listed in the Fractals Category 1-9. See attached for listed under scales 1-9
Why are you posting Fractal Groups under open world content?
If you read the image it is listed under “Scale 1-9” Fractals
