The Dungeon Finder:

I’m a certified oldie, who can remember the implementation and eventual removal of the old Dungeon Finder system. For those whipper snappers who weren’t around, this system was simple - You pick a dungeon you want to do, and “sign up” to it. Other players who browse through these menus will be able to see your character, class, level, and name, and automatically join your group. When you’ve got four players, you’re good to go!

Over time, it became clear that this system wasn’t particularly popular. It was extremely limiting, being unable to type any sort of text, show that you have any sort of experience in the dungeon, or even be able to message people within the system. It quickly fell out of use, players opting instead to use the Recruitment channel where you could give people all the information they needed to decide whether they wanted to join you or not. The feature was removed not long after.

It’s interesting to hear they’re planning on bringing this back, but labled instead as a Group Finder, capable of recruiting into groups for farming, levelling, dungeons, quest fights, Dreams, and whole heaps of other content. 

Once again, Ankama are holding their cards close to their chest, and whilst announcing a launch of this by the end of the year, we have no details as to what this could practically entail.
