Could you just not join a discord that pings raid lfm squads then like for example hardstuck ?

I do that to but honestly they always play when I can't. I much rather join pugs. 

Honestly I'll probably just stick to watching LFGs from time to time. If now one running a group then I won't play Raids/Strikes.

To be perfectly honest I don't feel confident enough to do it. I can only really run the first few raid bosses and even them I'm to sure on the different ways people do it.

Then recruit the people you need first. 

The thing is that, if you raid a lot you know, these niche spots are almost always the ones that fill last. The amount of times you see 'w4 9/10 LF HK' is immense. The weird niche roles that require responsability always fill slowly. So waiting ages for these roles to fill only to then have to queue and receive random players as dps seems super counterproductive to me. By the time I've finally found my HK, I could have easily filled in the dps spots via the traditional LFG and had more control over who joins.

 

I can HK personally but don't enjoy it so if I can I avoid it and I notice personally that I'm more likely to join as a HK when that's the last thing people are looking for, just a psychological thing I guess. If I see a W4 1/10 LF HK, ... I think it's less likely people join as these specialised roles.

Why is it always people who don't understand how gw2 role dynamics works that request this feature? This game is too dynamic for generic lfg queueing. We must talk to sort out roles not only within the squad/party but within the specific fight as well.

I wouldn't be surprised, if some people, who possibly transitioned from games like WoW or FF14, don't like the resemblance of pseudo-social interactions that come with our manual LFG.

Or they simply can't be bothered to put in the minuscule effort to use the manual LFG. But in this case, if they can't put in that little effort, can one really trust them to put in any effort into playing group content?

Ppl from WoW or FF14 maybe, just maybe asking about automatic lfg system that just cooperate players like a general lfg in WoW. 
Some says that it will not work because of gw class system specific. But just give players working lfg, they will choice by they own - good it or not.

TBH all LFG and party system must be reworked.

It bonkers me how you guys can live with this mess?

I search the LFG, find party, teleport to that map, click on one of the party members, because I cant see whos leader and get message: Map is Full.

Yesterday was in a fishing party. One guy joins, changes LFG to something Bounty Hunt and kicks everyone whos fishing. LOL.

Unless it was a squad without a commander you're just making stuff up. Parties require vote kick and in squads only the commander can kick.

Maybe he turned the party into a squad which defacto kicked everyone?(if you don't accept new invite). Or it always was a squad with a commander and he joined via map.

Sounds reasonable, I have seen this happen alot in EoD maps where people join the map event half way through fishing or leviathan.

When you create a squad out of a party people get offered to join your squad, but as far as I know they stay in the party until they accept.

They do but if everyone accepts and he doesn't he will be kicked after a long enough time.

Maybe youre right and I missed popup accept message.

That doesnt change that strange thing, that if you create Party, youre not atomatically party leader. I guess you need commander tag unlock 😕

Other thing that would be nice, if I join Party, my place in the map is automatically reserved for me till I switch maps (or queue as many here say). And give timer to switch maps to not exploit it.
