LFG and Trade/Crafter Forums

What is everyone opinion on having a LFG and trade forum?

I think it would help a lot specifically on consoles without text chat.

A bit like Destiny app but just a forum dedicated to finding groups and advertising crafting skills and trades. I have spent countless hours trying to get groups to do vet dungeons on EU PS4, the group finder just doesn't work.

Is it something they would consider adding to the forums?

    I'd definitely use it since I'm on ps4 with no text chat, but a little wary as trade forums are tough to moderate

    I've been sitting in the queue for the group finder 1h 23 minutes during prime time as a tank.

    It's ridiculous.

    It's been asked and answered several times. No they won't. Too much moderation required, old threads having to be culled, complaining about scams and cheaters etc, moving threads because people can't post things in the right sections anyway.

    I don't think they have the staff to do it and I don't blame them for not wanting the trouble.

    That's a shame, really. I "heard" someone barking their crafting services on PC zone chat last night and I thought having a "billboard" on a trade forum would be a good idea for that sort of thing.

    That seems a real shame, I'm sure they have made enough money from console release to give us a few feature to enable grouping and trades easier.

    Ideally a fix to the group finder or text chat but as they don't seem to be able to accomplish that a forum would be the next best thing.

    Aye, you poor guys. Still can't fathom how they could justify crippling you like that.
    smh...ZOSense I guess.
