a better LFG system

[Derrick the Nomad]

What if there was an NPC that you could talk to in outposts and "sign up" to be in a "party" for nearby quests and missions.

It would be kind of like a "board" with all the parties that are forming in that outpost.

You could start a party for a quest or mission and wait for it to fill up with other players that sign up for your party: or you could sign up for an existing party.

the parties would be categorized by what quest/mission they are attempting and you would be able to see the names and classes of the characters in each party.

I suppose there could also be a "farm" category and "masters" category as well.

This would streamline party forming in outpost. All you have to do is go into an outpost and sign up for the mission/quest you want to do and wait for the party to fill up -no more spamming all chat with "LFG" or "is anyone doing this quest?" Either join an existing party on the "board" or form a new one.

I like this one - especially handy for quests / missions where there's not many people around -> Fire Island missions / bonuses / Titan quests etc

This is the best suggestion I've seen so far.

Another play had this similar idea:

I really think they should make this a priority as the "landscape" of guild wars becomes larger.

What I would add is that there must be some way to view a player's history.

If you have just put up a team with yourself as leader for a "Masters" reward, it would be good if you could see that a player signing up for that has signed up for "Masters" 19 times and left early 17 times.

I'm basically trying to think of a way to identify the players that join a group for a mission reward only for a skill cap, etc. Some way to weed them out so they don't clutter the groups looking for different rewards.

Although, I suppose you will have a "LFG Skill Cap" party as well and they're more likely to join that one then so maybe it will all balance out.

Would you envision this being a global interface so you can search / see across all continents / outposts / etc.? (Not restricted to the one you're in, but searcheable with criteria)

I remembered Gaile saying in one of her pre Nightfall chat that NF will include a better party formation system.

Hope this will come with Razzah and Elite Zone
