Suggestion: LFG system/Dungeon finder?

It isn’t needed.
Make friends.
If you are solo then there is plenty else to do.
You don’t need the drops.
It’s a tiny part of the game.
Make friends.

i have friends and a guild – and when they are not available to run dungeons with me, then I am supposed to just NOT run dungeons?

you are ignorant

how about you go play the game the way you want to and stop telling me i have to play it the way you want to?

I’m not ignorant at all.
I’m playing the same game you are, just as it is.
Being hostile and rude is possibly part of your problem finding people to play with.

I’m not telling you how to play the game. I’m telling you how the game plays.
I could just as easily say that “w” moves your character forward.

This feature isn’t needed simply because dungeons are not the sole reason to play the game at level 80 like in other games. It’s not supposed to be a casual dungeon grind.
Pushing for that type of game is a mistake.
There are plenty of them already.

As I said, this is a very minute part of the game and a queue system isn’t needed.

again, you are ignorant

just because you don’t want to use a feature for a game does NOT mean others should not be able to use it if they wish

NO ONE needs ANYTHING about a game, btw, its all WANTED

and players like me WANT an auto-grouping feature for times when NO ONE WE KNOW wants to run dungeons

and i AM hostile to players who try to tell me I CANT have something I would like in a game JUST because THEY dont want to use it

get over yourself

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

WHY would I want to WAIT longer then I have to? I dont.

So no ty, I prefer to use an auto-grouping feature.

So please, STOP trying to get me to play your way, I DONT WANT TO.

I have NEVER asked you to play my way, i have even stated I hope anet puts in the feature YOU want to use so you CAN use it.

I simply prefer to use an auto-grouping feature so I ALSO hope anet will put one in the game ALONG with the feature YOU want.

So you’re whining because you don’t want to wait a few more minutes to join a dungeon?

You’ve spent more time saying you want to play YOUR way than the extra time you would have spent waiting at the queue with the system I proposed for the next 10 dungeons.

so you’re whining because someone doesn’t want to play the way you enjoy?

you’ve spent all your time trying to get me to play the way you enjoy instead of just asking anet to add something to the game you enjoy and going back to the game and enjoying it?

seems to me that you have more issues then i do…

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

There’s no PLAY MY WAY. We would be doing the exact same thing. The only difference is that you would need to wait a couple more minutes. Waiting a couple more minutes is NOT considered a playstyle. You can’t say my way of playing is waiting a couple more minutes to join a dungeon. That does not make any sense.

So you’re saying that it wouldn’t destroy the community because all it does is divide it?

the community is ALREADY divided because of ppl like you who try to force players to play the game THEIR way…

Try accepting players and how they enjoy playing the game instead of trying to FORCE them to play the game YOUR way and it might not be so divided?

Right now there’s no LFG tool. My suggestion would be pretty close to what you want while not dividing the community. All it would require is for you to wait a couple of minutes longer. That’s nothing compared to what it is right now and would save a lot more time than having a matchmaking where people just leave without a second thought the minute something goes wrong. With the LFG tool you’re suggesting you would lose a lot more time in the long run and create a lot more dissatisfaction.

Translation: all it would require is for players like me to PLAY YOUR WAY…

players like me are not insisting players like you need to PLAY OUR WAY so stop insisting players like me need to PLAY YOUR WAY

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

I’m with you Canoas. This is a suggestion that has been talked about.

It would stop spamming chat channels.
Wouldn’t have to stand in city or dungeon entrance since you can see everyone lfg on entire server from anywhere.
And give player control. Which is a good thing.

And Crica, you are wrong. Canoas and others are trying to create a lfg system that could work for the majority. One that could be quicker and easier to use without being a anonymous hand holding system that removes accountability from people.

You are just being stubborn and have turned it into a I must win this argument, they must use my idea or I will be mad.

bull – i have always asked for anet to put in whatever others want while asking anet to ALSO put in what players like me want

i have NO issues with players like you using a non-autogrouping feature, by all means use one and have fun

i wish to use an auto grouping feature however and have fun as well so why are you trying to make sure players like me CANT?

players like me are not trying to stop YOU from using any feature you want to have fun with, but players like you ARE trying to stop US…

so dont even come here and say im the one being asinine when its players like YOU who are

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

its not about trust – its about opportunity

i dont care to give anyone the opportunity to cause me drama over my gear

i prefer to spend my time enjoying the game and not spend my time dealing with anyone’s personal issues with my gear

its that simple

Which would require a matchmaking system that destroys the community. On the other hand, you could wait a couple of minutes. Or better, once you use the system and get to know other people, find a good group in seconds.

destroy the community how?

ppl like me dont want to play with ppl like you RIGHT NOW without an auto grouping feature so adding an auto grouping feature for players like me isnt going to change a thing

ppl like you dont want to let other ppl play the game the way they enjoy, everyone MUST play the game ONLY the way YOU enjoy, so we just avoid playing with ppl like you so we can continue to play the game the way WE enjoy and you can continue to play the game the way YOU enjoy….

It seems Karma rewards are intentionally prevented from sale (for gold) or salvage (for materials). However, why not make them possible to sell back for a wee bit of Karma? As it stands, destroying them after a few levels of use is a real let down.

they can already choose to not play with players like me by NOT using the auto-grouping feature that players like me would be using and instead spending their time looking for players to group with using your system that does not auto-group players…

Ok then, we can easily fix that by allowing the person to choose to be instantly invited. If you don’t want to bother finding a group it would automatically accept the first dude that invites you, bypassing the “hey, want to join this group?”.

that is not auto-grouping, that is me spending my time inviting ppl…

auto-grouping is the game grouping you up from a queue you place yourself into for whichever dungeons you are interested in

in case you do not understand – i have NO issues at all with you spending YOUR time looking for a group of players to run dungeons with if that is what you enjoy doing – i DO have issues spending MY time looking for a group of players to run dungeons with because I do not enjoy doing that…

Al right then, allow only to inspect guildmates/friends.

Besides, gear is pretty easy to get here. An exotic item costs like 3g, a rare one costs about 25s.

that forces players to HAVE to show their gear in order to join a guild…

One thing I see is that if a LFD tool is “World Based”….the ElitistkittenHats are gonna make black lists on people in the game and make their experience playing the game miserable …
Instead of being helpful and finding out why the person fails and giving advice, so the team can succeed, it will be easier to just kick, add name to list, and be Elite.
Some have already admitted this is in their agenda….

I just want to have fun and sometimes that means you gotta not be the kitten and help other so you all can win.

those type of players do that now – you think they are going to invite you right now to any of their groups and help you? no – they only play with players like themselves and kick you out if they happen to get you in a group somehow, all WITHOUT an auto-group finder

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

Seems to me that all the problems you said would be solved by the small description I suggested.

none of that would solve me having to spend my time looking for a group

auto-grouping would solve me having to spend my time looking for a group

i dont know any other way to say it – i wish to spend my time playing the game – i do not wish to spend my time looking for a group

If you don’t bother spending a few minutes searching for a group then maybe you don’t deserver one.

why is that? because you say so? you are the authority on “who deserves to be in a group in GW2?”

But with auto-grouping it would become much much much more common. And those who are a bit worse would just get replaced instead of being helped.

you can assume anything you want – my experience is not like yours

in WOW, i am able to replace tools in mere seconds now that the LFD is in the game

in WOW, i do not have to replace tools every run, maybe 2 or 3 times a week at most

and again, players who do not wish to risk the chance of playing with tools can just play with their friends and guildmates and avoid all of these fears you have

auto-grouping would be for players who simply do not wish to spend time on looking for a group and have no issues with removing the occasional tool and replacing them

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

And even if ninja looting cannot happen, what matters is that the mentality people have changes once the LFG tool is implemented, ruining the community.

and it will take mere seconds to replace anyone like that with auto-grouping so i can return to playing the game

without auto-grouping it will take FOREVER to replace anyone like that and i will have to spend my time looking for replacements instead of playing the game…

@Crica
Ninja looting matters because that’s part of how people act in dungeons. With the LFG tool no one would blink an eye at ninja looting, they simply did not care about the rest of the group. If you didn’t notice a change maybe you were the dude who already did this before the LFG.

Also, how is it being spammed with “come group?” bad if your intention is to join that group? You would only be asked once. You want automated matchmaking, there’s no reason for you to decline an offer to join their group.

everything you loot in GW2 is personal, everyone gets their OWN loot and can not loot OTHER players loot therefore ninja looting CAN NOT HAPPEN in GW2

i dont wish to spend my time spamming afk ppl, ppl who already got asked by someone 2 secs before i asked, ppl who may not speak my language, or ppl who are waiting to be asked by only elite players…

i dont wish to spend my time answering a ton of questions as if i am applying to a job before they will inv me after spamming me…

the game auto-grouping me allows me spend my time playing the game and avoid spending my time on all of that

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

I really want the inspect feature. So far every single time I’ve wanted to inspect someone it was a friend or a guildy who was far away. I can’t ask him to link the items because even if he links it the items will look different on my char then they do on his human/sylvari/asura/norn. Other times I wanted to see if I could make a better weapon with my crafting than he had.

My suggestion is: Have an inspect feature where the user chooses who can see his stats: His friends, his guildmates or everyone. If you don’t choose any of these all the other dudes would see is how you look, the item slots would look empty just like in the preview window.

I think this would please everyone.

no it would only divide the player base into "those who do not play with those who do not allow gear inspections:…

imo, if you dont want to run the risk of playing with a baddie, then play with your friends/guildmates instead of strangers and ALL your gear issues will be solved…

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

I suggest a mix between the two. Have a tab with a list of the groups and players who want to join a dungeon. You can add yourself and leave whenever you want, and besides listing your class it also let’s you add a small description.

The big difference between this and a LFG system would be that there was no matchmaking. Nothing is automatic. Want someone to join your group? Ok then, ask them. Want to join someone’s group? Ask them as well.

All this would do is not force people to be in front of the dungeon. I may want to go to CoF but while I find a group I would very much prefer doing events at Orr, and this would help. This would pretty much just be a interface to meet fellow dungeoneers, like an improved /map, which would make finding a party much easier and wouldn’t feel like you’re playing with npcs instead of people.

sure, that feature is great for players like you and i hope anet puts in the game for players like you but no ty for players like me because i prefer to spend my time playing the game, not spamming strangers “come group?” or be spammed by strangers “come group?” every time I want to run a dungeon

i prefer anet also allow the game to auto-group players like me who wish to run dungeons and none of us has to waste their time spamming each other and can instead play the game while we wait to be auto-grouped with other players who also wish to play the game while they wait to be auto-grouped.

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

the attitude has nothing to do with an auto group finder – mean ppl are mean regardless if they auto group with you or if you ask them in chat to group with you

Not really. Back when WoW didn’t have LFG you would actually appreciate the team that you got and would be nicer towards others. I rarely saw any ninja looting, for example. After the LFG everyone was a kitten for one simple reason: the group didn’t matter, you can always find another one just as easily.

and your experience doesn’t equal everyone’s experience…

my experience was that ppl were just as rude before the LFD tool in wow as they were after the LFD tool in wow, except before the LFD tool it took FOREVER to replace the tools in a group, whereas after the LFD tool it now takes mere seconds to kick them and replace them or re-queue if you cant kick them

no one can ninja loot in GW2 because all loot is personal so that point doesnt matter

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

I’m noticing a tone with many of those wanting a LFG tool. Impatience and a sort of attitude. Swear words and sarcasm.

Those types might not realize there is a healthy community (since they are already the types to want to troll it or ignore it or add joking remarks), but the rest don’t want a repeat of having to watch that type of behavior become standard.

You don’t simply say “give us this cause the others that don’t like it can ignore it”. It doesn’t work that way, and it belittles the situation. Or you don’t grasp the situation and think it is that simple.

Once a tool is added, it becomes the only way to find a group. You can’t do “LFG for X” because it’ll just be ignored or people say “just use the tool”. It becomes the standard, and any other way falls to the wayside. The completely random PuG. You trade time for people. (and no one is arguing they like spamming LFG either, they are arguing the LFG tools invite too much negative behavior)

Those who have personality types that are…. immature, they will group with the first person to take them. Or will accept the first “I’ll go” when asking for others. They never know others might do it different. They don’t know that they are the types others might be avoiding. So they don’t get it.

The more socially acceptable types, they tend to just be looking for filler too. But if there are red flags with how immature a person is responding, they’ll not take that person. They’ll talk with the other random members of like-mind and kick that person and seek another mature person. Or they’ll tell that person they are acting poorly, and to stop or they won’t be allowed come. And the other person learns their behavior is not acceptable and changes, or they don’t and they only play with their own immature kind. I’m trying to put this as polite and delicate as possible.

So my point is, the socially acceptable community members might not be chatting up a storm and socializing, but they end up able to avoid getting that random “worse PuG in the world” feeling every other run.

The simple act of talking allows people to weed each other out. Those that are the worst of the worst personalities, of course they don’t want that. They’ll be ignored for being what they are.

And so far, it takes 60 seconds to find people to do anything. Whether it is a dungeon run, or a champion needs killing, or an event spawned. I highly doubt I’ve been that lucky and everyone else has been waiting long stretches of time.

This post made up my mind about it. Because at first I thought that a LFG tool would be a good time saver and make stuff easy. But reading this thread and realizing the attitude of the people who wants the tool compared to the people who don’t see it necessary is huge. I never played WoW, but just reading this thread I can totally understand what the general troll behavior WoW is infamous for is, and we do not want that kind of behavior here.

the attitude has nothing to do with an auto group finder – mean ppl are mean regardless if they auto group with you or if you ask them in chat to group with you

ppl who prefer to auto-group are ppl who simply do not want to spend their time asking strangers to group with them, regardless of what the method is, they prefer the game to do this for them so they can spend their time playing the game instead

they prefer for the game to let them sign up to auto-group with others who also sign up to auto-group, that way they do not have to spend their game time spamming strangers or being spammed by strangers “come group?” a million times

its really that simple

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

Why do the LFD supporters ignore suggestions? I keep seeing you all just repeating “spamming chat channels with lfg” as your argument.

Non lfd supporters have at least come up with options/possible solutions, but are brushed under the rug and down right ignored because it doesn’t go along with your idea. I read it all, and I am imagining a bunch of grown men, putting their fingers in there ears and going “lalalalalalala, I can’t hear you!”

I am honestly beginning to wonder why you all are so against a server only, player controlled system. Something more functional than chat channel, but not so blind hand holding do it for me system. Something in between.

We all know this kind of system holds players accountable for their actions/behavior. That you get server reps, either good or bad, and you get treated accordingly. And seeing some of the aggressive and hostile responses from certain people….It does make one wonder if that isn’t a reason they want to be anon with their cross server grouping features.

And don’t tell me, if I don’t like it don’t use it, I played WoW, I have tried forming my own groups outside of LFD and I got slammed with “shut ups” and “use LFD, stop spamming” (Which I wasn’t mind you, I wasn’t sending out messages one right after another.) Great community, over there in WoW. Great lfd feature. Get people who can’t even manage to say hi. Or they just stand there and refuse to do anything for no other reason but to grief the group. Abuse of vote kick. Just generally act like a bunch of kittens. Because they can. Because it is cross server and they know they won’t face any consequences.

If you can’t step outside of what you want to try to come up with a creative middle ground, then all I can say is, if your not part of a solution, then you are part of the problem.

why are we not listening to suggestions from players who dont want to use an auto group finder?

because we dont want to play with people who dont want to use an auto group finder – we only want to play with people who want to use an auto group finder.

we know what we want and what we enjoy and we are not trying to insist that players use an auto group finder if they do not want to nor enjoy using one

however, players that do not want to use nor enjoy using an auto group finder ARE trying to insist that players should NOT use an auto group finder and instead should play the game the way they want to and enjoy playing it

so,. we continue to ask anet for an auto group finder for players LIKE US who wish to use one and just IGNORE players who try to insist we should not use an auto group finder and tell them to go find players LIKE THEMSELVES to play with (without using an auto group finder of course if they wish)

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

im tired of spamming LFG/LFM when i want to do a dungeon and not being able to go play the game…
I am stuck in one place until I find a group, which takes anywhere from 30mins and up…
Auto Group Finder would be sweet so i can go play the game while the game finds a group for me!
I dont care if it doesnt port the group since we already have waypoints to port with…
i dont care if its cross-server since we already play with ppl cross-server…
the part that i care about is being able to go play the game WHILE i am LFG/LFM, and I cant do that right now…
so please, anet, add an Auto Group Finder for dungeons please? Thanks!
oh, and for you social community ppl, i have a guild and that is where my social community is, not in random PUG dungeon runs…

When you want to do a dungeon run, why not asking your guild members, or those on your friends list? The game is all about the community. We join guilds so as to have a group of people we normally play with, who can support us when we want to do something and in return we can support them as well.

Instead of standing around spamming /map chat looking to join a group, why not ask your guildmates or friends to join you? Runs are much more fun when you’re with a group of people you know rather than strangers.

and when my friends and guild are unavailable at the time i want to run dungeons i am supposed to just NOT run dungeons?

seriously what is this?

i dont know you and i dont want to know you because I simply dont like playing the game the way you do , so why are you insisting I should get to know you and play the game ONLY the way you enjoy playing it?

how about i just queue in a group finder with all the others who want to queue in a group finder while you go be a social butterfly with all the other social butterflys and we will both be happy?

why do ppl insist on telling other ppl how to enjoy the game?

should we all insist that you stop being social and use a group finder if you want to run dungeons?

yeah i dont think you would like that – go play your way and we will play our way

On the one had we have ppl that don’t want LFD tools like in Wow and on there we have the ppl that do. Both have good arguments, its counterproductive to have to wait in front of a portal spamming “LF1MOAR” and traditional hot join dungeons breeds Trolls so lets make a whole new system to be the standard!? isnt that what GW2 is all about? Here are some traditional ideas and new ones.

Option1 (easy “band-aid fix”)
Global (server) LFG Channel – pretty self explanatory. chat channel the ppl can see anywhere to find others for events.

Option 2 (Simpler version of what they have now)
A LFG Lobby- have a dedicated button that opens up a LFG box with filters to see who is looking for party and what dungeons.

Option 3 (out of the box)
A bulletin board in every city (all connected) where players can post dungeons they wish to run. "LFG Explorer CM " they can limit the duration for say 1hr and even add a note to it. then they can go back to questing or w/e. When someone starts forming a group they will go to this board and see your available, clicking the Ask to join button , prompting the player with a “so and so wishes you to join him on CM Explorer, do you wish to join?” and you can take it from there, its kinda like the 1st two but a little out of the box from the norm.

well that’s my 2 cents.

and everyone of those are great options – for players who want to stop playing the game and look for ppl to run dungeons with

none of those options are great for players who wish to continue to play the game while the game auto groups them with players who also want to run dungeons

idc if anet puts in all your options for players like you, but anet needs to also put in an auto-group option for players like me, thanks!

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

Dungeon Zerging = Fun & Challenge Killer

If you want to “develop strategy” for dungeons you need a group of friends and vent or people who know the dungeon like the back of their hands. The mobs in this game all hit like mac trucks and there are no healers or tanks. Put that together with the fact that most people running dungeons haven’t ran them before, and you have people who go in with the intention of being strategic, using their shield, toughness traits and defensive skills, carefully checking corners and pulling. Only to get 1 shotted by a stray fireball or dropped in milliseconds from a group of hounds, only to rez at a graveyard 2 ft away. Can you really blame people for graveyard zerging?

Yes, I can blame them, and I do blame them. They are bad. Not only are they bad, they then come to the forums and demand ArenaNet conform to them and follow suit with other games to meet the lowest common denominator with difficulty. I wish they would just leave already and go back to the scum filled hole of a game they crawled of.

all the bad players not buying the game and playing it would mean less money for anet to develop all this content you enjoy…it would also mean that players like you would have to pay MORE money for games that did not appeal to bad players…

also, dont play with strangers if you dont want a chance to play with bad players…

play with your friends whom you know are not bad players…

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

The “log out and back in for ore” sounds like an exploit to me. Can an Anet employee comment on that specifically?

its not an exploit – thats how the system works – if your server is full you get put on another server and placed in a queue to get on your server…

if your server is NOT full then you cant log out and back on for another ore because you will not be placed on another server, you will be placed back on your server…

its not the player’s fault that their server is full and they get to mine an ore again on another server if they log out and back in

also, that ore might not even be in the same spot on another server because of random pop – it may be in another place entirely…

so, you are saying, that players who have to log out and when they log back in to another server because their own server happens to be full atm, should not be allowed to mine on the overflow server because they could be getting an ADDITIONAL mine spot to mine that they may have already mined on their own server???

you are weird…

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

There is a group finder under the add person to your group

no, there is a list for YOU to find players to group with, there is no auto grouping feature that allows you to continue to play the game while the game auto groups you with other players who also would like to run dungeons…

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

It isn’t needed.
Make friends.
If you are solo then there is plenty else to do.
You don’t need the drops.
It’s a tiny part of the game.
Make friends.

i have friends and a guild – and when they are not available to run dungeons with me, then I am supposed to just NOT run dungeons?

you are ignorant

how about you go play the game the way you want to and stop telling me i have to play it the way you want to?

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

There is no need for this in GW2.
If you solo and aren’t part of the bigger community then you can’t do this one small part of the game. There are plenty of events. There is plenty of explore.
Make a few friends then you can do that very minute part of the game.

i have a guild and friends – when no one is available to run dungeons with me i am supposed to just not run them according to you?

im tired of spamming LFG/LFM when i want to do a dungeon and not being able to go play the game…

I am stuck in one place until I find a group, which takes anywhere from 30mins and up…

Auto Group Finder would be sweet so i can go play the game while the game finds a group for me!

I dont care if it doesnt port the group since we already have waypoints to port with…

i dont care if its cross-server since we already play with ppl cross-server…

the part that i care about is being able to go play the game WHILE i am LFG/LFM, and I cant do that right now…

so please, anet, add an Auto Group Finder for dungeons please? Thanks!

oh, and for you social community ppl, i have a guild and that is where my social community is, not in random PUG dungeon runs…

If I don’t like it, I won’t do it.

i vote for the game placing players in a group for dungeons via a queue – it doesnt have to port the group to the dungeon since we already have waypoints but the game grouping us up would allow us to play the game instead of stand around spamiing for a group…i dont know about anyone else, but i would rather be doing events and gathering and stuff then sitting around spamming chat…

thanks

Anti-farm code does exist for Fine Crafting Materials

what would be the point of the trading post if you could efficiently farm everything you need?

try “trading” for what you need instead of farming it all?

It gets very expensive to just buy things all the time, unless you are plowing gems for cash.

which is why i said “trade” IE: sell what you get that you dont need so you can afford to buy what you do need…

you are acting like the trading post doesn’t exist AT ALL…

And you are acting like all fine materials are of equal value and they are not. Besides. If I want to farm the mats myself in a reasonable amount of time I should be able to. The game itself is fun like Anet set out to make it. Crafting is anything BUT fun in its current state for alot of people.

If I want to farm and grind for hours for my own mats, then why not?

I already told you why in my very first post – because it would render the trading post worthless if everyone could just farm what they needed when they needed it efficiently…I am pretty sure that the devs and the majority of the players of GW2 do NOT want the trading post to be rendered worthless…

I am sorry that you don’t like the “economy” of an MMO, but most players do and we realize for there to BE an economy and a trading post, that game resources MUST be UN-efficient to farm….

have fun
