I've suggested a separate chat for players wanting to run trials that can be seen in any zone. It would not be something where you can type messages though as that would become a spam channel for guilds and players wanting to sell lockpicks for 354 gold each.
Instead it would have a menu the person starting the trial would select from. They pick the trial location and how many of each role they need. For vet they could also maybe post a minimum requirement such as level requirement. After they go through the menu the message gets posted in the global trial forum and those wanting to join either whisper the person creating the trial or depending on how it would be set up simply click on the role they want and they automatically join if a spot is still open.
Doing this would mean you wouldn't have to hang out in Craglorn hoping someone starts a trial you wish to join. And of course players wanting to use the trial chat would have to opt in to have it shown. That way people with no interest in trials would not have to see the chat.
It's basically this:similar to premade groups in WoW, or FFXIV as @Troodon80 pointed out, allthough i dont have any experience with FF

For those against a trial finder including hm, trifecta and, what not plus all glammer. Rest asured, that Im confident in saying that it will never happen. Your gatekeeping is asured,.
For that people have to go somewhere else. Never say never I know, they have to change a lot and it cost coins.
Raid Finder marked the beginning of the downturn for World of Warcraft, especially in terms of community. So, it's a little ironic that you would use improving the community as the excuse to initiate something like that in ESO.
Additionally, I think the suggestion is indicative of a lack of understanding about ESO's endgame in general. A group of strangers are not going to be able to do anything even moderately challenging in this game without communicating, and that is essentially what a trial finder would boil down to - people not interested in interacting with others that still want to do the content. The quality of the content generally suffers as a result. If you find yourself in that camp where the fear of missing out is not enough to get you to briefly step out of your comfort zone to take part in group content, why are you playing an MMO?
so you talking about activity browser. I remember old threads where people were quite objective (pointing out the facts) about the disadvantages of such tool in ESO. Specificaly those times when you could mark yourself as TANK+HEALER+DD at the same time.The person recruiting can set what roles, if any role requirements, and then it fills up

I'm sure you believe what you wrote. But I suspect that a trial raid finder would be more popular and more successful than you think. I do join a group twice a week for pvp. But I also enjoy my solo time and often choose to join a daily pug dungeon rather than looking for players or guildies to run it with. I find it fun and I like to help newer players. If there was a trial raid finder, I wouldn't hesitate to join the que. I'd much rather do that than sit in Craglorn.

I'm sure you believe what you wrote, but an anecdote doesn't refute what I wrote. Regarding WoW, that is the general consensus from veteran players - it's not speculation on my part. I didn't say that a trial finder wouldn't be popular or that it would be unsuccessful. I said that it is bad for the community and will affect future content in a negative way.
