I haven't been around for a few months, is this normal? Tried to run direfrost keep on normal assuming it would be around level 40 something. Tried to go in with a vr14 and myself, vr5, and the mobs were vr5.

    You can "solo" them, if you make the group leader a low level and leave him behind and go kill everything.

    But the dungeon will now scale to the group leader, so if the group leader is v14, mobs will be v10-v12

    Yep, that's normal.

    All dungeons now scale up (or down, depending on the dungeon) to the level of the group leader. Regular dungeons won't scale below their original level, and veteran dungeons won't scale below VR1.

    Assuming that is the case, how are we supposed to find enough people to run normal mode dungeons? You can't use the LFG tool to find others for normal mode dungeons when you're a vet rank.

    Possibly with the March relaunch will be more people around.

    Check in zone chat, guilds, etc. The group finder tool has been working pretty poorly anyway, so you'll have better luck with chat.

    Think I'll give up on that endeavour, way too situational to find people.

    They should add normals to the group finder for VRs.

    It's really not that much of a struggle. Even as a DPS, I have no trouble grabbing a group for a dungeon run within five minutes or so. And if I have guildies on, it's much faster.

    Zone chat in the zone with your alliance capital is a good place to find others for non-vet dungeons - pick up the daily non-vet Undaunted pledge and guaranteed there will be people in the zone looking to run that dungeon. Of course, that leaves you hoping that the dungeon for the pledge is one that you want to run anyway, but do enough pledges and you'll do all of them.

    Alternately, if you're in a fairly active guild, odds are you can find guildies who will be willing to run the dungeon with you. Actually, this is probably the better option, as it's pretty much always more fun to run dungeons with people you know than with a PUG. I mean, in a guild you may not know them at first, but presumably you'll get to know them, and that will make future dungeon runs that much better.

    Yes that seems to be the way to go (guilds). I'll look into that pledge thing, sounds like a good idea. Do they reset daily to a different dungeon or is there an order to them? Thanks for the help everyone.

    They reset daily to different dungeons - to be honest I haven't done enough of them to know if there's any order or pattern to them.

    If you're looking for a guild on NA server, I recommend Lone Wolf Help. It's the most helpful guild I've been in, and there are always a decent number of people online - most of whom are happy to help out guildies with all kinds of stuff. There are regular dungeon run events too, where the dungeon being run is decided by the people participating. It's not a hard core guild by any means - it was intended for people who do a lot of solo play, but who sometimes need help with various things (including dungeons, crafting, etc), and wanted a friendly place to turn to for that help.

    There's a recruitment thread for the guild here if you're interested.

    You could also just group for a normal pledge run.

    The easiest way to find a group is -

    /zone L40 healer/tank/dps lfg for Direfrost
    or
    /zone LF3M - L38+ DPS x2 & Tank x1 for Direfrost

    It doesn't always work immediately but people do respond if you are persistent and scaleing it to the lowest group member allows a variety of levels to team up. I normally start looking as soon as I get towards the end of a zone.

    For Vet Ranks either ask for people in Craglorn/Capital city or wait for it to come up on the Daily Pledges.
