A simple but effective Accelerated Group Building-> implemented in 1 or 2 Days

Currently the group forming process isn't very efficient therefore I propose a very simple but effective way to implement a text-based accelerated group building feature.

Basically it is just a few /commands


Type: /LFG character description

For example Tom is at the Tomb of Primival Kings. He is a Worrior/Elementalist and he wants a group. He can play knock down and aftershock

he would type "/LFG use knockdown/Aftershock


For the group leaders, they can use another handful command: /ListLFG
This command will list out all the LFG players, their class, their descriptions and their district#.
The list command would be inter-district, in otherword it will shows everyone in every districts.

For example /ListLFG will show
Tom A, W/E, use knockdown/Aftershock, at America #2
Jay B, Mo/Me, healing monk with Energy Tap, at Internation #1
Kelvin C, E/Me, Air spiker with chain and surge, at America #9
...

The group leader can private message the player and have him move to their district and join the group.



Another command /GLF
The team leader can use /GLF group discription
to list their group.

For example lets say Mary is hosting a smite group who seek 1 W/E, she can type
/GLF Smite group looking for 1 W/E with knockdown/Aftershock

When Tom, at the other district type /listGLF it will display

Mary E, Smite group looking for 1 W/E with Kd/As, America#7
Tony F, Spike group need 2 Air spikers and 1 prot monk, Internation #2
Terry G, Degen group need 1Me, 2N/Me and 2 heal monks, America #2

...

Tom can then whisper to Mary E and he can go to district #A7 and join mary.
Similarly Mary can use /listLFG to know tom is looking for a group, so mary can also whisper Tom. So it is mutual.

When Mary's group started, his GLF status will automatically disappeared. Similarly Tom's LFG status will disappear when he joined a group.


So it is the simplist way to implement such system. It only need 4 text-based commands

/LFG
/listLFG
/GLF
/listGLF

If the implemention is text-based it would only take a day or two to do that.

I don't really see how that would help. It would just move all of the spam on the local channels into these lists. Sure you can get the information of people from other districts, but your list will be so extensive that I doubt it would be helpful in finding a decent group.

would need many subcommands to be useful, among them:

/GLF rank X
/GLF ihavegroupedwithyoubefore
/GLF doesnotsuck

and of course, the alternate /LFG variations of the same. Then again, it would only be used by people without rank getting started. After you get started, you tend to know more people and they know you.
