There's a big, big difference between the end result of the tool, and the efficiency of the tool. I agree that, with the Expansion, I'll have no problem finding 60+ groups through LFG. Definitely. And that's great.

However, and this may surprise you, people still do run lower-level instances on characters called 'alts.' These 'alternative' characters are good ways to kill time and try out new playing styles. Especially because the only instances I haven't run umpteen times are Uldaman.. Maraudon.. etc. This is the situation where LFG sucks.

Lets say I'm a 44 Hunter. Before, if I advertised LFG in the worldwide channel for Zul'Farrak, I'd probably get two people on their 60s looking to level an alt, one person in Tanaris, and one person at the last moment once they see 'LF1M already inside can summon.'

Now? I can't get anyone on a 60, or on an even lower-level alt. I can't get any 'lower-dedication' players who will only come if it's LF1M. And even those in my range might be wasted in a 2 person SM Cath group. So the efficiency of the tool gets worse when there are fewer people online.. which is when you need a competent LFG tool the most.

Yep. This LFG tool blows cheese. At least give us back the global channel till you make this thing viable. Holy fuck.
