Can't you just read what I wrote? Swear the word auto lfg starts giving some of y'all panic attacks lol like chill

No no, I think Kozumi has a point. I've been looking at these instanced raid topics on the forums and it's the same folks who keep arguing against discussions for getting a better LFG in most of these posts. lol. Like there's really no benefit for you guys to just keep telling everyone who wants a new lfg "it's impossible for us to understand how it could work, so kitten off" unless you're gaining from the system the way it is or it doesn't impact you at all. Y'all don't even have any real argument other than "we don't want auto group finder" when everyone else here making their argument specifically has been saying that's not what they want. Why would that affect you anyway? Just don't queue up in it and keep doing what you do. And to whoever keeps putting the confused faces on every single post that argues for getting a new LFG: Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss you queen.

Yes it is practical, anet didn't design these fights without an idea of what roles to utilize, this isn't just some random mod tacked on the game. Hell that's why they made Toughness the aggro stat in the first place. They had a specific design philosophy in mind. They didn't just throw random bosses at the wall with no testing. They saw what they needed to make these bosses work internally and released them. Yeah players are going to make their own meta, that's fine, but still there should be like some bare minimum reqs for a group that anet can just recommend. If players deviate from that then that's perfectly fine and if anet wants to encourage that, cool, bonus brownie points. But let me just queue up as a general role and/or let me make a pf for general roles that all players can see coming in. The command system can go kick rocks. I didn't even put my post in this jive kitten sub I wanted general forums to see it but big anet wanted me to get cooked by the status quo enjoyers in this sub so they moved it.

Majority of those groups are run sellers lol and the ones that are recruiting typically I can't find for the raids that I want to do. Which isn't a bad thing, I'm not complaining, but I've played enough MMOs to know just making my own group is typically faster than waiting for someone else to come by doing the specific content I want. Also having to constantly tab in and check in the middle of me doing something overworld is clunky and kitten

I like LFG for overworld content especially finding groups for events and world bosses, I think LFG is okay for that. But it's god awful when I wanna do something instance based

That's not what I said. I'm crying that I have to care about what the dozens of classes and builds provide to a run. I don't WANT to even tag up on the first place. People who enjoy it, more power to you. I just don't wanna get hijacked..I'm perfectly fine with people seeing what's in the party beforehand and thinking "this party ain't for me" and just dipping. To clarify, I HAVE NO PROBLEM FINDING MEMBERS, but I'm either expected to be in charge of those members or to see some kitten from another raid merge groups and recruit from WITHIN MY OWN SQUAD. It's just so disrespectful lol.

Yes exactly someone who gets it. I think LFG works fine for most things but man they really make it annoying with raids trying to PUG content. I just want to be able to make groups without being forced to command or hope some other commander who merged my group actually has use for me.

If putting the effort means having to completely organize every aspect of a quick wing 1 run, then yeah I wanna be pampered like a prince lol.

Who made this horrendous LFG then??

I been doin HoT raids for awhile. I know what I need to do as an individual. I have no friends, also wtf is the point of the LFG tool if it isn't even recommended to look for a group?? I thought that's the point of it.

Mainly just some type of role queue or role selection inside of LFG so people can stop whining when they don't get their abcdefghdps in the group and immediately drop the group cause 'this person is playing X class with Y build and I don't consider that viable'. I'm not a raid logger. I just wanna be able to get into the raids, get loot, get out, not spend 30min figuring out what roles everyone else needs to play.

Seriously, I love how unique GW2 is I've been playing for 10 years on and off and participate in most content including raids on and off back in HoT release. Fast-forward to a few weeks ago andI've been working on my envoy armor for raids and it's awful. I don't mind the grind and learning the raids at all, they've been super fun but man I despise the lfg system so much. Not only is it clunky as hell but I have to either command a group or suffer Commander kitten merging my group and then recruiting in MY group for a whole separate wing, then when I tell them to buzz off I get kicked out of my own group. So then I'm left with commanding, I bought that stupid glorified boy scout badge only to avoid that but now I'm expected to know EVERYTHING in the raid for every role. Like I don't give a kitten about what letter of the alphabet dps you are or what every class that isn't the one I play does, I just care if we have a tank (for some fights) a healer and some dps. Why do I have to care if you're doing a condi off heal/support/alac/mocha frappe/whatever build and have to know if it's compatible with the rest of the team comp. I completely understand that the commander tag IS for being a raid leader, but man why are my only options 1) to not command and leave myself to the mercy of dickhead commanders. 2) command and then get kitten for not knowing what everyone else needs to do. Or 3) Use a 3rd party app (discord) and go into one of the training raid groups and basically use it as a better LFG. Raids would definitely have been more popular if the devs just made it more accessible. Even in games without LFG as long as you know your own role and the mechanics for your own class you'll be fine. The raids aren't even particularly hard or impossible Cryposting done. LFG can suck on my big toe.
