Looking for more...

Hello everybody,

Just wondering if you think it is worth the trouble to implement a "looking for more" thing...

How I thought it'd work:

To use this command, you'd have to be a group leader. When a player who has set a LFM message loses group leadership, his message disappears. One could also delete his own message with a command such as /cm deletelfm

So, let's say I type:

/cm lfm Looking for more for Lasanth, level 50-55, healer especially welcome!

A player looking for a group would type something such as /cm getlfm . This would display a list of all the LFM message currently active.

MINERIOS says: Looking for more for Lasanth, level 50-55, healer especially welcome!

This person could then send me a tell if interested.

Given the relatively low population, I don't think filters of any kind would be necessary on these messages. I wouldn't expect more than a handful of messages to be active at any one time.

The main use I'd see to this would be so that people in a group that can still work but is incomplete could focus on their hunting rather than constantly spamming /ooc, or trying to keep up with /ooc spam.
 
well, there's the lfg window if someone can figure out how to get it to work. IIRC it was implemented before the raid window.
It's also a matter of getting people to use it on both ends, people who are lfg and groups who are lfm.

the lfg tag and /w all lfg work perfectly if all parties involved know how to work them. Even in ooc I see groups asking for more and 2 lines later a person of the same level asking for a group in sometimes the same area as advertised, then again a bit later the group oocs again. This goes back and forth sometimes for awhile with neither party springing to look at ooc and /tell.
 
I personally don't think it's a horrible idea. It just seems like a lot of work for the coders when, as Iae already pointed out, the lfg type options that are currently in game aren't even being taken advantage of. :(
 
I'm all for anything that makes groups come together easier. The last two times I've logged in I've sat LFG (and ooc'ing it) for 30-45 minutes and then logged. I personally don't have the patience to sit for long periods of time doing nothing. Team Fortress 2 is just too easy to jump into and have instant fun. ;)

I use LFG and do /who all LFG regularly, but it still doesn't pan out many times. So yeah, it'd be nice to have yet another option for LFM, LFG, LFGFFS :)
