Guild Wars 2

An autogrouping, instaport lfg is not needed. Let this game be its own game. And no matter how much some want to deny that WoW’s LFG ruined community, it in fact played a HUGE part in doing just that.

I do not mind a channel or a Search for Group window, but simpley NO to anything remotely close to what WoW did. I am not trying to be rude, but it really does get tiresome to go to games only to have a certain group of people demand WoW features. WoW has those features, by all means go play it. But don’t try to change every game into a version of that game.

Learn to befriend people you encounter while you play, join a guild, play the game yourself.

I disagree. I played WoW for 5 years and never found that the LFG feature ruined the game for me or any of my friends. Everyone has a different experience and not all see it or experience it like you do.

Also, some people are socially inhibited or shy – so while it might be easy for you to befriend people, join a guild, etc., some people have a hard time with that. A good game has something for everyone. I personally don’t care whether they add a LFG feature to the game or not. I’m not forced to use it so it would be my choice whether to have that ruin my experience or not.

I don’t understand why people speak about the LFG feature is if they are forced to use it and, thus, ruin the game for themselves. It’s an individual choice. If you are grouping with friends and guild mates – great. What harm can LFG do to your game experience if you ignore it?

Adding a LFG tool to the game does not stop players who prefer to create their own group from doing so. After all, no one would be forced to use it. No one was forced to use it in WoW either. My WoW guild grouped together a lot, in the days when I was still playing, so no need for the dungeon finder. However, on those days when there weren’t many guildies online and I wanted rewards, there was always the option to use the tool if I chose to do so.

Some people like it, others hate it. But the tool, in and of itself, is optional. I wouldn’t required people to use it.

Missing a feature like LFG or LFR in Guildwars 2 just screams to the community that you want groups but are too lazy to form them yourself. Please keep trash ideas like the aforementioned out of the GW2 forums.

Wow. Trash? Seriously? The last I knew, all players were free to express their opinions, wishes, ideas, etc. in this open community. What rock did you crawl out from under or were you just born nasty?
