Why not lfg?? or just ask people to party up??? seems like a weird thing to have for something as simple as overland questing or pvp
would be nice if you could customize party queues though like say if you only wanted dps or one healer
party size
role amounts
minimum level
this way whenever you queue for like a raid or something you will be added to places where people who fit your specified role need to be.
this would hopefully make times easier for dps as people who dont need a tank or healer would hopefully be able to set their preferred roles for dungeons and bgs to three dps
idk honestly but if it is only for overland content it is completely useless in my opinion...

My experience with improved grouping functions is that they tend to produce worse behavior and can ram into issues with population distribution.
I'm not sure the lack of a party finder tool is causing enough of an issues to merit ramming into those issues.
Maybe in some individual categories it might be worth consideration but, overall is likely pushing it.
You also can run into issues of timing when you implement a system post launch.
The primary people that will be hopping into a party finder tool at this point are people that are having troubles finding parties under the current structure of the game. You'll likely find in some cases that is happening for a reason.

I'm not sure if this is the case, but I read somewhere that they changed the game recently to where zone chat messages can only be read by people who share the same instance. This makes a global, customizable party finder tool extremely useful.
And we don't need any new group finder tool, current dungeon finder doesn't even work properly. What we need is true global chat, that includes all instances. Currently during primetime there's like 3 Craglorn instances and people desperately lfg for certain trial while in another instance they cant fill group for the same trial. I usually hop instances when filling my groups but most people don't seem to know this and just sit in their instance for a long time spamming lfm and people start to bail.

What's the harm in a group finder for dragons? Most of us can't solo them but a couple more people would make North Elseweyr dragons actually be fought more ...

Personally, I don't hunt Dragons in Northern Elsweyr with any regularity because the amount of effort dramatically exceeds the reward and I enjoy other content more that is in the category of providing limited rewards. Changing the payoff or the effort requirement could likely increase the number of people doing the content without needing to add new systems.

1. No because it would add load to the severs and the biggest thing Zenimax can do is reduce that load so we get to experience decent game performance. This is the reason it is not likely to get consideration at this time as Zenimax has expressed they will be extremely cautious about adding new systems until performance is improved.
2. It is not needed. We have five guild slots. It may take some searching but finding at least one good active guild for getting into groups and forming them. There are active raiding guilds, RP guilds, and more to reach everyone's interest. I kissed a few frogs until I found the guild I enjoy the most and it has paid off as I get much more out of the game there than I could with random strangers. This is something I suggest everyone do until they find the guild that meets their wants and needs in the game.
Good luck. I do not care one way or another, outside of the performance of the game, but just do not see a need for it.

There used to be a party finder according to my guildmates. It permitted finding groups for doing content in a given zone and for grouping in Cyrodiil. They told me it was not used so after a few years it was removed.
I just did some searching and found an article from long ago with the image I have linked below showing there was the ability to form groups for doing world (zone) content. So my guildmate's comments seem spot on.
