Hi there

Is there anything currently in the works to improve the LFG system?

---

Q u o t e:
We have some improvements on tap, that we'd like to implement at some point in the not too distant future, if time permits of course. We're not quite ready to discuss them, unfortunately. In any case, we realize that the tool needs further design work before it's completely effective.

---

In the meantime, spam trade channel.

On a related note, it seems the "auto-join" box still auto-checks itself and can't be switched off. However I have not thoroughly investigated this, so I could be mistaken.

And improving a features that helps a great part in grouping and finding fellow players to group, the main aspect of an MMO is on a priority list of: ''If time permits''? lol

That is great news Eyonix! I missed out on quite a few instances due to not having people to group with, sometimes LFG'ing for a few hours. With just a few improvements, I think it could be so awesome that people won't need to spam trade anymore and the number of instance groups goes way up! (A small suggestion: a button to queue up in LFG from the Quest Log!)

And of course, my dream someday hehe... Cross realm instances! Thanks Eyonix.

Heh, I know you don't have an ETA or anything, but is this something that might come with the expansion, or before then in a content patch? Thanks Eyonix.

The auto-group function needs more custumization, ie 'I'm a healer. I want 1 tank and 3 DPS classes.' The tool needs to be able to differentiate between specs.

Edit: Maybe even offer a deeper level of option filtering, ie, I want my tank to have a certain amount of health and def, my Healer needs a certain amount of mana and +heals, etc. Although, I think that would be too complicated to code.

Since players are still somehow joining and forming groups in the interim, yes.

Yeah. You should be able to search not by group but the level range and class of a player.

I have spent 60 minutes on "LF1M: Tank, then GTG!" or "LF1M: Healer, then GTG!".

If players sign up for the LFG channel, have the person choose from categories such as DPS, Tank, Healer, so my groups can find him and cajole him to runnign with us. :)

I like this.

---

Q u o t e:

One suggestion for the LFG tool I can think of would be to be able to view a person's talents/gear/etc. from a distance.

---

Also awesome.

I know there's the option of adding comments when looking for a group/more, but there should be an option where you can choose if you'd like to Tank, Heal, DPS (Magic), and DPS (Physical). So the person looking for more can just add one or more of the options, and not having to worry about explaining to someone that they can't come because the group need a healer, etc.

And it could sort players by cooking skill, and what foods, potions, and elixers they have in thier inventory!
No thanks, I left Lower Jeuno for a reason.

Seconded

This must mean cross-server PvE instancing is coming.

---

Q u o t e:
Cool.

Any chance of a Talent selector? You can now see other people's talents in the game, so why not sort by what talent tree they have the most invested in?

---

lol! There is a mod already with that feature : )

I WANT TO SEE A BATTLEGROUND PREMADE GROUP/RAID ADDED TO THE LFG TOOL. It will be very useful for alliance PvPers. Add Arena LFG also, and you can add notes like resilience, AP, +healing, +spell damage, etc. Less spam on the trade channels IMO

If time permits? Really this should be one of the higher priority fixes in the very near future. The LFG tool is awful and makes for some really long group waits if you get a group at all. Like everyone says spam the trade channel.
