Auto-grouping. - Phoenix Freeshard

Always thought there should be a group building tool that you could set and folks would be auto-added to group based on a criteria you set.

Like... I'd open this tool and I'd check the boxes for what I wanted.. folks would have the corresponding options on their auto-join settings.

Example (barebones)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XP - RVR/Keeptake - Farm - 8man

Level range (from GL) +/- (1-9)
Rally Point - (Where do you want people to meet... maybe a free text field here)
Destination - (where are we doing the activity.. also free form)
Class types needed = type and number
Healer - (1-7)
Tank - (1-7)
Caster - (1-7)
Stealther - (1-7)
Speed - (1-7)
Buffs - (1-7)

Additional options or changes as you see fit...just an idea.

Isnt there a very basic one ingame? Where you can see which players are lfg and so on?

Yeah there is an LFG system but... no queue or auto join functionality.

My thought process is this... when i log, in I generally type /lfg RVR and watch the lfg channel in hopes to see someone forming a group or that someone sends me an invite. Now sometimes I see multiple "LFG

playername) RVR ... come in right behind mine but nobody wants to actually buck up and form the group, myself included. If I could just add myself to a queue with join criteria I'd be happy to join whatever group I was put in and I bet a lot of other folks would be too.

not a super important addition but if there's time someday maybe it'd be a fun add.

Only issue I have is there are certain people I simply won't play with anymore and I wouldn't want to be auto-grouped with them.

An effective group will always take leadership and initiative. If nobody can be bothered to stick his head out and pick up that role, groups won't form. If they do form, they won't really function at the same level of the groups that you're used to now.
