I'd like to see an alteration for the LFG function so that one could use it for a main toon while playing on a lower level alt...Now that my 80s are geared out all thats really left to do on them is raid. It would be nice if i could level up some lowbies while still keeping my main queued for raids. Any chance of this happening?

It's called entering the LFG channel with your alt for whatever reason (I use zones), and then saying "Level 80 druid/mage/warlock looking for etc/etc/etc/etc."

Stop being stupid.

Now I ride with the mocking and friendly ghouls on the night-wind, and play by day amongst the catacombs.... I know that light is not for me.

Yeah when I am on my alt I am always in LFG looking for that LFM VoA 25 or something like that. Then I switch to the main and tell them "me me".

Dear God. Please protect me from your followers. Amen.

Wow no need to be nasty...Obviously i realize i can LFG while on my alt for my main, but its far less efficacious and you have to deal with tons of people (of whom i would guess you to be one) saying "get on that toon then".

It would be nice to have something that tied into our account on the realm i agree. Because people can be dumb as we know. One time someone was looking for a healer for a while so I said I could do it on my pally. they invited me and I accepted and started to type out " ok let me hop on my pally named.." before I could finish I was kicked from group, when I went to whisper the leader he had me on ignore.

I can't say this is directly something we are looking into, but we do want to make improvements to the LFG system as a whole at some point in the future.

If I'm trolling for a group (pun intended) then I'll just put whatever character I'm on in LFG for some random zone nobody goes to, so I can just listen to the LFG channel.

Mr B, something that would help is being able to list yourself as LFG for any instance, regardless of "recommended level".

Between feedback on the forums and what we have personally run into while playing the game, we have quite a few ideas on improvements for the system, they will just take time to implement in an intuitive and easy to use way... that is better than the LFG channel. ;-)

While leveling my ALT I have used the LFG system. I turn in on when I start playing, four hours later I log out without ever getting a group. This is not just one day I am talking about, but weeks of the same pattern.

I don't think anyone actually uses the system.

I use a Mac because I am addicted to elegance.

Most people join a random instance in the system (or one that they are interested) in order to have the LFG channel open. There they can either wait for someone to be looking for the instance they really want to go to, or spam LF X instance or instances.

If I dont actually say anything in LFG (aka whine and beg and plead), I can sit there all day and night without getting a group. Have actually only found ONE person through LFM. :(

/looking forward to changes

Selkie 76 feral // Zeiara 80 lolsmite // Sixthsin 80 prot(holy) // Sphyx 70 frost // Nyruuk 71 Aff // Greyraze 54 fury

Did you see that? Your fan just totally ate a squirrel!

Better than the LFG channel is good, as long as you don't actually remove the LFG channel in the process.

I was thinking this the other day actually. I really have no idea how this could be done but it would be a nice feature i'd support.

Clicking the mighty undo button on your last round of changes would be a huge benefit. Adding the healer/dps/tank roles was a great idea. Making it so you have to join LFG before you can view LFM was dumb. Adding an extra step within LFM to where you can only view Individuals or Groups seperately.... dumb. Replacing the comment field with a comment button.. yep.. dumb. Removing the refresh button.. dumb.


In addition to pushing the mighty undo button, feature I'd like to see are:
* add the roles to LFM. It's be nice to be able to check a box so people know you are looking for a tank/dps/healer

* allow the ability to inspect others in PUG at any distance w/o having to load the armory

* allow option to see instances that are gray for you (IE: Kara at level 80).

Even if none of the additions happen, I'd be happy with just undoing the last round of changes that butchered LFG/LFM.

Also make it so that I can see if someone's looking for a group for an alt, so I know to ignore that person and take the one who's already on the character they want to come as.
