Group finder filled with dead groups?

Just trying to figure out if this is a bug or an addon causing this.

Are others affected by this?

    TY, but nah this is group finder, not home finder. Specifically looking for trial, they are just filled with trial groups that don't exist.

    PC NA

    This is all nice, but Home Tours are not working on PCNA as well. Any news on when we will be getting a fix?

    PC NA

    In that link, it says "LFG and Home Tours".

    LFG is shorthand for Looking For Group, and often used in place of GF or Group Finder.

    [edit] But then too, the fix that link refers to has since passed.

    Always has been. Ever since the group finder for trials launched it’s been filled with invalid groups. Sometimes every single group listed is dead. Dead groups will stay for days, sometimes until the next maintenance.

    Based on my testing I think it happens when the person who listed the group logs out without delisting it.

    I can't refute that absolutely, but this has not been the norm for weeks. GF has functioned as normal: listing active groups. It did not retain groups where the leader logged out, certainly not over 24-48hrs.

    The GF (and Home Tours, apparently) is not dumping old groups as it should. Attempting to join a "dead" listing will error out with the leader being busy and the player count changing to "Delisted" but not actually going away.

    TL;DR. *** is broken and nothing has been done about it. It is the weekend. It has been multiple days at this point with GF not functioning properly. This is a bad look.

    It’s a bit baffling that PC EU got emergency maintenance to fix this and PC NA gets… radio silence. It’s still broken.
