But honestly, the experience in Beta has absolutely no relevance to how good the LFG tool is. In Beta, you have hundreds upon thousands of players with one goal: to run the new instances. You could get a group in 5 minutes just by parking a healer in front of Hellfire Citadel.

The true test of an LFG tool comes when people are thin on the ground. Does it aggregate people on different continents, with different levels? Does it provide for the widespread use of alts? Does it make it easy to browse? All in all, does it help me or hinder me at forming a Gnomeregan group at 11am on a Thursday?

And in all those situations, LFG fails. Hard. Fails when it's actually needed.

So don't compare it against Beta. Sure, LFG works in Beta. My POS car would work if you put it at the top of the hill and pushed it down, with 5000 people to help. That's not what LFG is for.
No one *Queue lightbulb and AH HA!* RUNS INSTANCES ANYMORE.

In beta *everyone* will be running instances. Yes all 6k+ Level 60s on your server will be LFG for the same instances you are at multiple level ranges, and even Heroic Mode at 70.

But jfc are you KIDDING me about bitching that you can't find a group for Gnomer? The entirety of the WoW population has surpassed anything under level 60, and even then most don't bother espescially with the new pvp gear being far better than anything they can obtain in a 5man.

This is alot of bitching about something that works just fine when people actually want to instance, not "QQ Why can't I find a group for Wailing Caverns, but im the only person in my entire level range online wtf this TOOL SUX!"
