Why do console players get a functional group finder and PC players don't?

    Wanted to place same question. It looks like at consoles (but I heard only) it just works. Plus there is functional in game voice chat.

    Sorry to sound negative, but giving the amount of questions asked on this forum that are ignore/not answered, I don't imagine this one will be answered either.

    You can make your own assumptions as to why the console features work while the Pc features don't work.

    We assume the reason is that Zenimax doesn't care about their PC customers.

    To be honest, I think the reason why the console lfg tool works is because there is not that many people in the beta and there is no text chat. So they are force to use the tool.

    They also had the benefit of seeing the PC version and improving on it.

    So are you saying that the developers are treating the PC version as a previous iteration of the game to be abandoned or that they are unable to add the same group finder in the PC version? I don't really understand your response. If they are going to improve on it, then wouldn't one assume the improved feature would be available on all platforms?

    I think different programmers worked on the console ui. Who did ZOS get to port the code or did they do it all in-house?

    You worry too much... remember LFG tool used to work ok during PC beta / first few months, too.
    But they will break it on console eventually, too... just give them a little more time. o:)

    I've argued that the PC grouping tools work fine but due to the ease of using zone chat, guild chat etc ppl don't queue.
    On console there is no text chat so the systems work as intended

    There may be other issues on PC too as the network requirements differ but I think it's a (take out text chat) and ppl will use the systems.

    This can't apply to PC tho cause text chat is integral to the PC experience.

    Why do you continue to defend the PC group finder as working and claim it is just that people don't use it? It worked great with instant healer and tank queues as well as sub-5minute dps queues for months until Zenimax broke it. And as of March Zenimax support has been responding to tickets acknowledging it is broke. Please accept the facts. There are far more than enough players queuing to bring very fast or no queue times.
