My experience with the Groupfinder

In THIS last hour alone, i had following bugs while i tried to find a Group with Groupfinder for a random Vet Dungeon:

1. Finder put me in a Grp that was finished with its dungeon, luckily timer DIDNT start over, so i tried again.
2. A Group that couldnt finish a boss, had to leave after few tries, no bug there, but still couldnt finish the dungeon.
3. Finder put me in a Grp that waited for one more DD inside a dungeon already, but i couldnt join because of "Instance is full". I tried 3 times to port into the dungeon to the others, even after 5mins it said the same message, i gave up, and have to wait still the 15mins, because it counted as a try...

Lets see what goes wrong next...
I thought they fixed a few bugs with the finder, but it does not seem like it. They just changed how the groups are getting build, but fixed none of the old bugs, im pretty damn sad now, because i STILL cant do my dungeons in peace. :C To find a random Group takes long enough, chances of this group are clearing the dungeon are not that high too, and with all this bugs it takes sometimes up to 3 hours to clear the darn random vet daily. /._.\ IF you dont give up of course, and i have to give up to finish the daily fairly often.

PLEASE, instead of adding fancy new things, just fix some of the 2000+ Bugs of the game, just start anywhere. I feel like you can throw a rock over the Worldmap and can be SURE there is a bug wherever it lands... xD

    It seems that there is more and more bugs with GF. Yesterday I several times received a message asking me if I'm ready for the dungeon though I was already in a dungeon with full group. Today morning I've gone through Arx Corinium, the quest was complete but no message "Activity complete" and no daily reward for me and my group.

    - Behold: the Staff of Magnus.
    What? What happened? Where is it?
    - You stupid, I've taken it just now.
    - By the shining trees of Aldmeris. We have been burgled. But how?
    That staff was an illusion. Where's the real one?
    - Oh... ok.

    Also a big problem with forming a group and then being unable to cue for dungeon, ready check comes up but no teleport. You can still just travel right to the dungeon manually of course. Still a bug and sometimes it forces you to leave the previous dungeon before continuing your pledges unless you want to pay for the travel. Also an issue with continuing to the next pledge with a group finder PUG. Usually have to disband and then reform and cue again. Would be nice, if you find a decent PUG to just continue to the next pledge.

    so annoying... ever f*ing time they fiddle around with the group finder, they break it.
    Every. F*ing. Time.

    Do they even test that thing? Or have a quick rollback strategy in case they break it?

    Manager: "You're sure it works?"
    Dev: "Yeah!"
    Manager: "That's what you said last time, too.. will it be different this time?"
    Dev: "Yeah!"
    QA: "But.."
    Dev: "Shhh!"

    Additionally, and that's what really surprises me, two patch cycles (i.e. Maintenance Mondays) so far were not enough to fix the issues. :(

    Most issues were not even mentioned in the patch notes, and the one that they claim to have fixed (group members not getting the 100k XP bonus under certain regularly occurring circumstances) is not really fixed.
