[Feedback] New LFG System
I think it is horrible. Why did you make it so all the instances are checked in the specific dungeon lfg? It is just annoying to have to then check all of them off...

Why can't you look for groups or individuals anymore??? Some 'random' people are bad and you may not want to play with them. Why are the new badges and some gold available to people who make random groups? Does this mean if I make a group of 4 people and we lfm and get 1 random person, we get both badges and little money, but if I make a premade of 5 people we get none?!?! Tbh, there are groups that go for gear, and groups that go for the grind, and this basically puts people who want both in the same boat, I nv run heroics with people that need gear from there, I want to be done in 15 mins or less, this doesn't help with that...

You can 't get in LFG chat, this used to be nice as if you were in it and someone might say "lf2m ToC 10m" or somethimg, you might not have joined to do ToC10m...but you are aware of the leader/person in the group, perhaps you can pst them and ask questiosn about group comp ect...but this doesn't allow you to do that! Bring back lfg chat, it was great and at least on my server, never abused and only helpful.

You get to TP right to the instance...why don't 2 people have to get there to summon already? Not only does it take out a component of work to get to the instance, it also just well makes it so mechanical, just being able to freely teleport somewhere like that, you should have to commit some time and get 2 people to the stone to summon. The world will just be a hollow shell if everyone crammed in cities and wasn't out and about, on PVP servers well, summoning stone control would be no more.

Questions:
Are people who lf a specific instance eligible to group with people who want to do a random instance?
Why get rid of the looking for group/individual pane?
Why get rid of the LFG channel?
Why have all instances checked in the specific dungeon queue?
Why make people HAVE to do a RANDOM group to get the daily rewards, I just don't see what this promotes, people already get random groups, but some choose to play with friends and guildies and make their own premade groups...so why punish these people with less badges and gold?

Re: [Feedback] New LFG System
While feedback is always appreciated you're making some assumptions about a system that you don't have the complete details for as of yet. This is understandable since we haven't fully explained what our intentions are or how the complete system will be working.

We are in the process of finalizing just such an informational piece that we plan to post sometime early next week that should explain much more about the system, how it works, the benefits, and give you a much better foundation for providing constructive feedback during your testing and answer many of the questions that you have.

It's not the perfect answer for you right now, but hopefully what we provide will make up for it.

Patience, por favor.

You guys are dramatically underestimating the scope of this feature and making some bad assumptions based on datamined screenshots and half-implemented features in the PTR. All will be revealed soon.
