Suggestion: Auto-matchmaking

It's extremely frustrating trying to form pick-up groups in the missions later in the game. It's not unusual for it to take 20 minutes or more to land a group, especially if you're not one of the "favored" classes (i.e. healer or tank).

What I suggest is some sort of user selectable auto-matchmaking, so that when you enter a mission area, you are automatically paired up with other players in a balanced group. As it is, it can take so long to form a group that I often lose interest in playing, and an auto-matchmaking feature would speed up the process significantly.

What do you think?

Maybe, but im not sure it would be a great idea. I like to screen the people i have in my groups first. For example if i invite a w/mo called 'i pwnzore joo' who screams 'GOGOGO' and is abusive, i like to be able to kick him in favor of a more friendly individual. I would hate to be stuck in a mission with a complete moron that i would never started the mission with had i made the group myself.

Well, yeah, that's why it would be an optional feature selectable by the player. If someone prefers the "old" way then they don't have to click the "Auto group" button.
