I have mentioned this before, but with the advent of DDO:EU and F2P it bears returning to. The LFM panel. There are really a couple of modifications that should be made to posting groups.
- Level ranges. Either the poster should be *required* to enter a level range or a default should be entered (I’d suggest +1 and -2 of the poster.) Many folks are sick to death of the 1-20 groups. They really screw up the view.
- Quest listing… this is getting more important with F2P. In order make this happen, though, there are two additions that should be made. 1) listing quest lines, and not just individual quests. And 2) listing quest zones. Another option would be just including an “Other” option… that would make it at least as easy to select the right quest as to select other, but still allow the option to post groups for non-standard quests.
- Report. This might change, but there is a lot of stuff in the LFMs these days (joy!) but that just makes it more important to clear out the noise. Could we get a report function for stuff that shouldn’t be in there.
- Ignore. My opinion is that it would be handy to be able to look at an LFM list and say, I have no interest in that quest, remove it from my LFM view, please. I think that would make using the LFM a bit easier on users.
