LFG tool for trials and arenas ZOS please

Keizee

Are there any plans on doing such thing? Can we finaly get that time saving feature for ppl with not much time to play. I want to expirience content you ZOS provide but i have no time to sit in Craglorn for hours and spam LFG on chat. It will be full of fake tanks, heals and stuff like that I know, but I'll be able to do some engaging content while waiting for group rather than spamming and scrolling thru chat.

Not exactly sure what "time saving feature" idea could miraculously populate the server with enough competent players wanting to play exactly your specific Trial during your exact playtimes each & every moment you login to play, but anyways...In case you weren't already aware, there are indeed other options available: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/586414/normal-trials

Plus, i believe certain GUILDS still run ALL Trials on a weekly/monthly schedule rotation.

There is no miracle in finding players through LFG tool to do specyfic vet dungeon so why do u think it would be a problem to find players to do some trials, especially that there is few few trials in comparison with dungeons. I'm playing durin prime time in my region, as the vast majority of ppl becouse it is prime time. I dont want to emply ppl to search only for "competent" ones, so I dont mind if they will be less competent.
What you're implying about serching for groups on forums is simply swiching from scrolling in game chat to scrolling forums And as you said guilds have weekly/monthly schedule rotation. I want to play and farm right now, not when my GM decide to play and farm. I dont want to wait weeks to have a window to farm items I need.

Because dungeons require only 4 players to fill , as opposed to Trials needing '12' . Simple math.

Furthermore, in general, i see a problem with any individual player trying to bend the will of MMO populations to cater somehow to their own self-serving entitled needs on a whim. It's a bit thirsty imo, sorta like spamming in zone-chat "queue BG's now plz!" .

Developers code MMO environments & infrastructures. Then it's up to the COMMUNITY to work within those parameters...and adapt accordingly.

You obviously didn't bother to click the link i provided you. If you had, you would've discovered a new option that i discovered, which has opened up a slew of Trials runs during NON-peak hours, with or without a 'full' group.

Adjust & adapt. That is the nature of MMO's, for better or worse. I know for me, whenever the MMO scene is too slow or whatever, i just head over to single-player 'Skyrim'. Or heck, even this wonderous game called RL EARTH.

Anyways, good luck!

Experiencing dungeons primarily via dungeon finder is already more like shooting yourself in the foot for fun, I can already see threads coming about how people are dissatisfied with trials, that they are garbage and should be deleted because randoms are random. Some sort of a public lobbies / trial postings would be a good solution and be a trial finder essentially but zos seemed not really interested in it.

For arenas this could work absolutely fine, not worse than using dungeon finder for vDLCs. Wouldn't even need a change in the tool.

For trials... normal should be fine, I can see veteran runs could go utterly wrong without any leadership. Chances it won't be implemented since it needs a very different LFG interface (ie. how many tanks or healers should be there?). Also it could raise lot of complications who should be able to run what, etc.
