ZOS you must improve grouping

benoit_mmob16_ESO

Situation:

Dear ZOS, I really like this game, I enjoy the story line the quest, classes, graphics and the community.
There is one thing the really get on my nerve is the grouping, it is an absolute game breaking for me, when you are lvling you spam for instances and it is easy to moderate to find a group, the major issue is once you reach 50 an absolute nightmare.
One due to the vet rank, if you are not V14 epically for the vet pledge forget it and I will say quite often the same problem occur for reg pledge too, V14 want to do fast run and are not interested to group with lower vet rank. Number 2 the LFG tool does not work for the last couple month this absolutely unacceptable.

Results:

Frustrations that I'm not able to group and complete my dailies
Not able to progress my undaunted skill line
Spending more than half of my time in Grahtwood spamming V5 dps/Healer LFG as my game play is not fun. Sometimes I'm very lucky take 5 mins but 70% of the time I have spammed for more than 45 mins before I gave up .
Solutions:
Fix the LFG (common guys you know it is not working)
Make the reg pledge instances that do not require the trinity, many MMO's offer this option like SWTOR, this concept could be apply also for the instances while lvling
Public dungeons should help you to progress your Undaunted skill line
Remove the Vet rank ASAP (I know it's a work in progress)

Conclusion:

I know some ppl will highjack this tread and will tell me to use my guild and they don't that problem but sometimes my friends are not online or my guildies that are Vet 14 want to run specific instances to get certain type of gear and are not interested to group with the low vets lvl.
Let's be clear I love the game and now I'm even a fan boy it, I have played it during the beta and for couple months after the release, took a brake and came back once 1.6 arrived. The changes are just amazing but it's an MMO and in this type of game grouping is a very important aspect of the game, it should be easy not a pain. I truly believe this were most ppl are losing their interest especially once you reach 50 and they just quit.

Join a good guild.. toss a group ask in the guild chat.. problem solved.. and yes, it's really that easy most of the time. That's why the group finder is so empty, that's what everyone else is doing.

I'm not fortunate enough to be in such a guild where finding an appropriate, ready to go group is that easy. Usually asking in guild chat, in my experience, leads to an hour of trying to find people around the appropriate level, organize the group roles, wait for people to finish whatever they're working on, wait for people to finish what their doing and did I mention wait for people to umm finish doing whatever they're doing.

"Invite me, I'll brb going for a smoke, then walking my dog, gotta pick up a pizza too and up my gf requires some attention... oh yea, I can only do half the dungeon btw because I g2g to work in 15 minutes" So yea basically a lot of waiting around, in my experience.

I just don't do group content anymore unless it's delivered to me on a silver platter, because I refuse to spend hours trying to put together a group.

If the group finding tool worked better, I'd be doing group content all the time. It's not the grouping that I don't like, it's just finding people to group with.

I completely agree. It's one of the major gripes I have with this game. The LFG tool is completely useless. It just does not work for me.

I will say that they better have something that works in place by the time the game releases on consoles. I just don't see console players wanting to spam zone chat trying to get a group for something.

This. GW1 did it and it worked (up to a certain point).
