Guild Wars 2

Hello,

My suggestion is regarding Party Formation and/or search features for grouping:

It appears there have already been many good suggestions regarding this topic and forgive me if I’m just repeating the same thing that has been said but I just don’t have the time to read through the entire thread.

As with a lot of other people, I’d really like the opportunity to enjoy playing the game while also being able to be available to get a party for a dungeon or any other group activity.

In Final fantasy 11, players had the ability to set a custom comment in their looking for group status, and we had a search feature which allowed us to search the entire server of players and filter the search by the different comment categories (i.e. Experience group, dungeons, story missions, etc). The game let you set a custom comment category and also allowed you to write a custom comment where you could write a short description of what you were seeking a group for. So, for example, a person seeking to make a party for a dungeon could search for people that had a dungeon comment selected and find exactly who they needed based on the actual comment description. Thus, this could be another option to expand the current Looking for group status in the game which is fairly limiting as far as I understand it. This would also alleviate the need to be spamming a chat channel since once you set your LFG status and comment someone could just search for you. Here’s a link to what the “ffxi wiki” which showed how the system kind of looked like :http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/The_Importance_of_Search_Comments

Of course, I’m not sure if this sort of system is even feasible in this game based on how cross-server play works but if something like this were at all possible it would be nice. I also admit this sort of system probably needs to be somewhat simplified or streamlined to have a good effect in GW2.
