1. LFG tool. The classic flag up stick note in tool. So as someone searches for members they see your name on a list and note you added. This allows a Pug leader to send tells to those who "want" to group.
The pros with this to me are that you can meet some very good players and make some friends. Community builder in some sense also. Your ability to make friends and play well will get you in more groups as you mingle with the players on your server.
Cons: You may build a bad rep by just inexperience and find yourself stuck lfg longer. Your server population can be so stagnant that you end up waiting still.
2. LFD tool: Warcraft style. Those who have not played that game. This basically allowed you to select the role you will fill and press the button. From there you were paired up with people across several servers and ran a dungeon.
Pros; You probably will find groups much faster with this set up.
Cons: you will be randomly thrown in with people of unknown reputation and skill. At the same time you may find yourself in a great group with wonderful people..to only have to say good bye and may never see them again. Not a very good community builder for sure. At the same time if anyone who has done T1 and especially T2. The dungeons are much more challenging in my opinion ..so do you really want to take chances with a random joe finder in these? My experiences with lots of T1 and T2..is a no. Not so much T1 ...but surely T2..yah...thats a gamble that may end up being more painful than fun.
**MY vote**
LFG classic tool server side.
Low pop server mergers and transfers a must to make this one flaw of the tool be squashed. "Low population servers won't benefit as much."
