Make the match, 4 warm bodies, you can sort our the roles once grouped.
You could even leave the roles and make it a match priority, but if no match is available just grab 4 folks.
The can't Q is frustrating as I typically build my random grps from my guild, so I am Q'ing a 4 man premade and still getting the cannot Q message.
In fairness the only thing I use the grp finder for is doing a daily random for the XP bump, which I do a lot less since I passed 810cp, but I know a lot of people still working toward cap, or leveling characters (which I just did with 2 necros) so I do still use it occasionally.
It just seems that the locked roles is causing more grief than it's helping, at least if it was just 4 random guys, any role, you wouldn't be surprised when it turns out that healer doesn't heal or thee tank doesn't tank.

Ye, thats definitly gonna help. Just put 4 randoms together.
To find out you are 4 dds and die to mechanics pretty easy. Or 4 Tanks so you cant kill stuff and dungeon Takes 2 decades. Or 4 healers not dying while also not killing.
Best.idea.ever......

So ZOS communicates something to us and the first comments are all insults. Players ask over and over again for more communication. Why would they when people make crappy statements as soon as it happens.

Would rolling the LFG tool back to how it used to be, where a character could queue for two or all three roles at once, help with the issues we see with the queue borking during primetime? If you're willing and able to perform any role, and other people are too, it seems the LFG tool would have a wider pool of people to pull from and thus decrease the wait time overall.
Another idea I've seen is giving us an option to have a party that doesn't consist of 2 deeps, a tank and a healer, and instead taking whatever roles we get. For example there could be a box called "random party" that we could check and it would immediately throw us with the next 3 people in the queue, regardless of what their roles are. Of course with this idea you might end up with a whole team of tanks, but you would go into it knowing you might get a less than desirable group composition.

guild wars 2 has an interesting LFG system where you can create your own listing with a description and everyone can see it...
Is it possible to incorporate something along those lines?
EDIT:
where everyone can see it... and anyone can join it
this would give/make the possibility of an lfg that could also be used for trials
