Alt of course. I never needed to use LFG, but thought I would start.
I see where you put what role you can fill and a limited number of some of the runs.
How exactly does this thing work?

I know this is a dumb question, but if someone who will help a noob learn could explain it thank you.

You check off whether you are willing to be a healer, dps, or tank (depending on your class of course) and whether you are willing to lead.

Then you can choose three instances to put yourself into queue for - these can be dungeons, raids, heroics or even whole zones or particular quests.

You can also choose to "auto-join" a group but in practice nobody uses that.

Once you join you can switch to the other tab to see who else is waiting for those groups or if there are partially filled groups already. People will see you in the queue or they will ask for members in the LFG channel.

Honestly, though, it isn't always very efficient and more group building goes on in Trade.

You select your role (Healer, DPS and Tank)
You select what instance you can do in your level range (If you are lvl 20, Deadmine, Wailing cavern Blackfadom Depth, instance too low are not affiched and too hight too)
You can leave a note to say your stat DPS or HP

Then you let him work for you.
You can also Search poeple who are also in LFG, you go in Search group and browse in your level range instance and you will see every character in LFG and role and commen they have. You can Invite poeple in group, put Invite check on the top who gonan invite poeple who have check the Accept in the other panel.

LFG will becoem really big next expension because you will be able to invite poeple from other server to do instance. so LFG will be full of people, like PVP Battleground, but you get teleported to the Instance and you play with other player from Other realms

Thank you both as that did help some. I was needing to check the other tab after putting in the information, and it does look like it will be a bigger thing soon.

Also, a word of warning when selecting role...If you click "healer" prepare for about 3,000 tells.

Yes, I know. My main is a top geared holy priest, so I never needed LFG. Long story short I just felt punished by Blizzard for playing a healing priest, so now I am looking to play dps classes much more, and that is why I will now need LFG. Kind of a shame, because I would prefer to keep playing my favorite class, but priests have gotten the shaft in wotlk.

I assume you mean PvP.

Thanks again for the help and thanks for the Blue post. On all my characters (many) I am looking forward to the cross realm grouping and think it is a good thing Blizzard is doing there.

I hope you're fixing the individual/group split.

Whoever came up with that should be slapped with a fish.

Since others have answered your questions on how the system currently works, be aware that it will be changing with the next content patch into something new. We'll have more information on all of the details for you all before too much longer and are working to refine the system more before revealing all of the details. While some of it is available on the PTR, it's not working for testing as of yet. Hopefully we'll be able to get you the larger picture soon. :)

Oh, how I hope and pray you've decided to extend the range of instances available to a character that's looking for a group. It's very annoying when you want to look for a group for an instance you still have quests for, only to find the tool doesn't allow you to because it's outside of the recommended range (even though, in some cases, the quests are still green.)

Please, please allow me to include/exclude dungeons. Limiting it to just 3 makes me cry when I first log in and will run any heroic.

This.

Also alow us to choose any dungeon even if we outlvl it. It was fun joining the LFG channel via a BC Group quest (that I could solo now but keep in my log just for joining LFG) so I could look for direbrewfest BRD groups since BRD is not selectable as an instance to LFG for if you are lvl 80.... , no wait, that was NOT fun.

I'm hoping that it involves a pvp section. Some sort of gear rating system for raids(cry about gearscore all you want, certain raids are designed with the expectation that people meet certain gear requirements). General heroic and raid flags. Special holiday boss section. Incentives for people to use the auto join function(why you hippies don't use it for the daily heroic I'll never understand). Incentives for people to tank or heal an instance(being a healer doesn't seem to matter much when you still spend a while looking for a tank.)

Q u o t e:
We'll try to cover as much as possible for you and we'll do a follow-up if there are still outstanding questions that need answers. Don't panic. :)

Was that an intentional Hitchhikers reference?

Eh, depends on your server. Tanks seem to be far less common on mine.

Please make it so a level 80 can queue for any dungeon
