LFG Threads on the Forums

Since console launch I've noticed a large number of LFG threads on the forums. I've seen them in general discussion, players helping players, and adventure zones & group dungeons. In fact, the latter category currently has far more LFG threads than threads discussing strategies and such.
To me the first thing that this makes me think is that people must be finding the console group finder inadequate in one way or another. Having never used it, I can't say why that would be. Maybe it's broken in one way or another, or maybe some of the logic behind it was poorly thought out, or maybe it's just awkward to use for some reason. I don't know.
My second thought is that as long as this continues, can we maybe have a separate section of the forums for this? For anyone who's not on console the signal to noise ratio in the adventure zones & group dungeons section right now is making that forum seriously painful to try to read...

Games group finder has always been broken. Pc players will tell you that they mostly use chat to fill out (words of pc players, not my own thoughts) you wait forever for a group, just to have it sit at 3 people tops for 20+minutes. Get in dungeon, find out no one really heals, inevitable "why you queue as healer" response:it's faster, grpup fails. Oh, but can't we just use out amazing voice chat to fill groups up? Lol. So many people either 1)don't use vc, 2)don't have mics, 3)more often than the rest, turn off most forms of in-game chat because it's an inconvenience at best outside of dungeons.

✭✭✭✭✭Players helping players is also mostly looking for bites thread. ZOS has been diligent in closing them.. But you still need to wade through the threads.
Personally I tried the PS4 group finder.
Can select multiple dungeons (as in choose however many you want, not just all or one) - Good
Cannot use group finder if the two people looking are more than 5 levels apart (bad because well, we couldn't find a group since we couldn't even use it. Although I imagine it is that way because if it let you it would never find a group due to the level thing)
I never did find a group BUT I didn't wait all the long, and was using my VR toons. I imagine there wasn't many VRs using it at the time.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0
