Doesn't work, no one uses it. No answers to this question, so we will continue to ask.

I don't think it has ever worked. Not even in beta. Best to just form your own group and go.

It sure did work after launch for several months, quite well actually. Instant queues for non-DPS around the clock level 15 to VR3 for me during that period. On par with what we see in other MMO games. I had quit a couple months in so in not sure when it stopped working, but it sure is depressing to see so many veteran players now under the impression the feature never worked. The standing around the capital city using zone chat as an LFG method is distasteful, especially to players who want to LFG for dungeons whilst solo questing in non-capital city zones.

The simple answer is yes.

I couldn't agree more.

Zone chat is faster then LFG and chat have more option.

If Zenimax lacks the competence to fix their LFG tool then they should add a UI bulletin board in-game so players can search a database of players looking to participate in certain content.

that brings in elitists behaver, which is already in the game, the group finder is not used because of elitist behaver and rage quitting, simple answer to it is to use a reward system, ie: you get a reward like in wow or ffxiv but not until u finish the dungeon and after say 20 dungeons done by group finder you get an elite gear not sellable or obtained by any or means

You mean more elitist than the person who asked me how much dps I can do after I said LFG in zone chat?

The group finder is not used because it doesn't work. I am fully behind your idea of rewarding its use like in ffxiv, though. But first it would have to actually be able to build groups.

u just made my point why grouping should only be done by group finder

There's only 2 things I can add to this but I'm sure most agreeing that the LFG doesn't work won't like it.

- I've used the LFG many times, and yes I'm a healer, but it has worked almost everytime, I only remember not finding a group once or twice, but it was late so I wasn't surprised.

- Each time I found the LFG to take some time I've asked in zone chat for other members, even DPS, and I had no answers. So, again, no surprise the LFG couldn't find anybody, there were simply nobody looking for a group at the time.

But I also wish to say that the zone chat should be a good way to find groups. And I don't know where you find your elitist members because I've yet to find any in my searches (but I won't deny it may exist if YOU encountered any).
On the opposite, I've even add many players to my friend list after playing with them (EU megaservers by the way).

What I'd like is the same kind of system as in The Secret World. You enlist for the LFG, but the LFG doesn't create the group for you. The LFG simply show you every people that are listed to it for the dungeon you're looking for, as well as the role each one chose. And then a player as to take the decision at one point to group people in order to make the "damn" group.

We are in an MMO, something that should bring people together, playing, talking, and interacting with each other. The more you'll ease the grouping process, like every other MMOs are doing, the less people will talk to each other. IT IS THE DEATH OF THE COMMUNITY. And that is when you'll begin to see rage-quit becoming normal, and people looking at you like a weirdo because you dare to say "hello".
Because as some said : Some people will just want to log in, have a group, have their loot, and never have to talk to others. It's like playing solo, except you're not in a group with NPCs, you are in a group with PEOPLE.

My point is, if some don't want to interact with other people, play a solo game, don't come to an MMO and act like you're the only one there.
Also, join guilds, they're awesome to have a group in seconds.

And on Zenimax part, please do the same system as in The Secret World, get rid of this LFG that obviously creates problems, and try as hard as you can to make people interact with each other, that's how you create a great community for your game, which will help everyone have fun.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Not even if I tried.

Yes, has been since beta. But who cares about that now that you can buy a wedding dress? LOL ZOS.

Less people are using it because they are tired of sitting in que for HOURS. I have sat in que with TANK selected for so long that I forgot I was even in que. Hours and hours later couldn't figure out why auto-invite wasn't working in Cyrodiil.... It was because I was still in LFG que.

Maybe it is working for some and not for others. That would explain the vastly different statements in this thread.

But it doesn't work for me. It hasn't in a very long time.

Did you simply read the topic title and go directly to Reply?

Whenever I have tried it during peak times of the game, it has always worked for me -- but it did take a very long time. I have long since just relied on watching zone chat when I feel like grouping up, since people so often spam the channel to find a party. If they improved the features of the LFG tool, I do think people might use it more often so I'd be in support of any suggestions to that end.

It takes a lot of time because people don't use it or people don't use it because it takes a lot of time?

YES it's broke as broke can be. It really stinks too cause I love to run dungeons.
