How important is the group finder?

How important is the group finder? But more important question how many people that have come back do you think we will lose if LFG is still broken?

honestly i think a complete revamp of the group finder is necessary. when i last used it and it worked it had some really weird group comps. set group comps and a port to chosen dungeon would make it much more accessible (aside from, you know, making it actually find groups) :P0 -
Razzak✭✭✭✭✭It's still broken. Ever since 1.5, in November. Using chat or standing in front of the Dungeon is all find and dandy, but try doing that for dungeons not in your zone.
We need a working LFG tool. Like all, or majority of other MMOs have.2 -
Skjoldur✭✭✭Not important at all.
I understand that there are people who like sitting in one place and spamming some chat channel... Whatever makes you happy, I guess.
But I would prefer a good grouping tool. I really like the new system that WoW introduced: You can configure what you want to do, what you are looking for, add certain prerequisites and a description. Anyone can browse this list and join. Especially for things like dolmen, group bosses, achievements etc.
This, in addition to a ( working ) fully automatic "dungeon finder", could make most people happy.

Agree. A good grouping tool could be used for many different things and is important.0 -

It probably is but just possibly, it shouldn't be. Maybe?Keepercraft wrote: »Zone chat is the best group finder.

cesmode✭✭✭In an MMO, its crucial.
I am playing Warframe right now, and to be honest its the only game that can do without a group finder for void missions. Its easy enough to get runs with people.
But in an MMO...with all of its complexities, class requirements, role requirements...Dungeon finder is a must.

phesserb14_ESOSoul ShrivenYah its one of the BIG reasons i left the game... i don't have time to hunt and negotiate groups in chat and sit around waiting... accessibility is a HUGE need for me.. i haven't been able to group in this game inawhile due to it... rarely works, queues take forever, then someone bails instantly every time (for no apparent reason!... this isnt FF 14 where you have a gear rating or something.. its weird)..
Would love to finally play craglorn content, im VR3 and still soloing

I keep hearing that the group finder is broken? Can anyone elaborate what it exactly is that is broken?
I was leveling my DK Tank the last 2 weeks and used it extensively. I always got a full group after 2-3 minutes. There was always at least one tank role (me), one healer and 2 DD. The people even were in quite the same level range (+/- 3 levels)
Is it not working properly? Doesnt seem so from my experience in the last weeks.
Or are people using it wrong? Which could easily be, because the interface is not very clear, f.e. compared to a group finder in wow.
Or are/were there just too few people using it? Which could also easily be. Add the always present problem of too many DD compared to tanks/healers and you will sit there for ages as a DD.0 -

Yeah, seems to be a desolate place right now, which is a shame. Guess we are to late for the old wave of veterans and to early for the coming new one...0 -
o_0✭✭✭✭A working group finder should be a top priority for ZOS, not having one especially for Tamriel Unlimited is just going to make a lot of impatient new players quit.0

It is not same exact copy of wow lfg tool so it must be broken ...0 -
Ysne58✭✭✭✭✭I actually gave up on it months ago. Just don't do group activities unless I happen to find myself in a group.0 -

Yep. I remember times when LFG tool worked fine. But since 1.5 it's totally broken.Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!0 -
zeuseason✭✭✭A working group finder is INSANELY important!
Seriously, this game needs to fix this asap. Many players are dungeon grinders and many players don't have 'groups' already to run with.0 -
Kreetar✭✭✭I don't remember it ever really functioning for me, honestly.
dip me in the blood of mortals and throw me to the Dremora0 -

Sadly, I recently returned to realize that dungeons still do not give exp. The dungeons seem decent, it's a tremendous shame.0 -

✭It's annoying as ***! Absolutely pissed off now standing in Grahtwood everyday for ages pimping myself trying to find a group. It's tough luck if your out and your guildies already done the pledge and you have to wait for a pug group.
How hard can it be to fix ffs!!?!?0
