Grouping Tool 2.0 Question

I know that the improvements are supposed to be in place, and that's awesome. I also know that it'll allow cross-faction grouping.

My biggest question remains unanswered though, or I haven't interpreted it correctly.

Will the grouping tool allow a group of four players (or 12 for a trial like Maw of Lorkhaj) to queue up for a dungeon and have EVERYONE scale to one level, the way Orsinium / Hew's Bane scales players? So, say I have a group of two Vets, and two level 17s. Will the new system allow us to queue together for a dungeon and have it scale all members up to V15 / highest level and everyone gets rewards commensurate to their actual level?

Currently you can't do this with a full 4-person group, as you have to physically travel to a dungeon and it scales to the level of the group leader. It makes the dungeon trivial for the high levels with a low level leader, or impossible for the low levels with a Veteran rank leader.

    It's already scaling everyone in the Live server, you just have to use the Group Finder and let it do it's job.

    Problem is that you can't use that group finder with a full group of 4.

    The way to do it currently on Live is to queue with just 3 people via Group Finder and, while the search is active, quickly invite the 4th group member in. Once they are in the group, they should be scaled. Not sure if that will still work after the TG update, though.
    AD is the best looking faction. I don't make the rules, I just enforce them.

    And that's what I'm asking. If, with the new LFG system, you will be able to queue, with 4 people, for a dungeon and have it scale like LFG does on live now.

    According to this new article:
    http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-gb/news/post/2016/02/17/thieves-guild-deep-dive-grouping-tool-improvements
    Yes, you will be able to use the grouping tool with a full group, as long as it's a group of 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 damage-dealers.
