Too many categories in LFG

[DaFishBob.6518]

If an LFG posting could show up in multiple categories, would that not fix this problem?

I'm a bit surprised people don't see the feature-creep and discrepancy in display with the LFG window. To reemphasize OPs point, there are so many options...yet noone is using them....I can easily cut the spvp/wvw ones from the list. Throughout my entire history of playing this game, I have never seen the pvp LFG being used once. Those can easily go.

I actually don't mind it at all as opposed to the super long list we used to have that was in the chronological order in terms of release, but completely uncategorized. What I would add is some sort of notification, bubble, highlight, or marker that shows that people are congregating in a specific map without having to open each category then clicking each specific map. That way, I can see where people are playing right away and even if I don't have business there, perhaps I could help out if there's a small party or small squad trying to organize at a specific map. Just my 2 cents.

I like that idea.

I would prefer the World Bosses tab to be removed. As a for-example, Tequatl tends to be advertised in the squad tab, not the world boss tab. People running world bosses are using squads, anyways.

I think it's done very well and it's easy to navigate. Just because there's a lot of menus doesn't mean it's inefficient or wasteful. It just shows this game has so much repeatable content to do.

 

It was a lot worse before, now it's vastly better. The only thing I wish is if there was a world chat mode for a zone/dungeon you pick.

I don't disagree.

 

They're not a very helpful "ease into raids" instance..if people don't have them unlocked.

It's not looking easy on the eye, true.

But the alternative is a huge pile unfiltered stuff.

You'll be scrolling through long lists of things you don't want, otherwise

So I'm glad with all the predefined filters
