Post Recruiting Channel
Make one please? That way there is a specific place that people know they can go when looking for dungeons, skill runs, teams, etc...

Having that in all chat is dumb, because anyone who might be interested in recruiting or being recruited for something will miss the message if they are not in all chat for the specific 10 second period that the message is visible.

Spamming all chat = number one way to find runs atm.

But yea, Recruitment/Looking For chat would be nice.

That's the idea though. With a dedicated channel you no longer have to spam. You just drop your message their and wait like 10 minutes, you won't have to spam nonstop in a channel dedicated to just recruitment.

I'd prefer something other than a chat:

I am Bumping this thread because we desperately need to have something along these lines before steam. IT is next to impossible to organize any kind of cross team raids or Squad, and will be even worse after steam. We really need to have a channel dedicated to organizing squads for leveling and DG's, as well as higher level content. Please reconsider this suggestion.

heck, even enk previously agreed with this. viewtopic.php?p=684218#p684218

I don't know what you mean by "even enk" but I still stand by my previous suggestion of a chat channel that's moderated and restricted in the same way as Trade chat, but pertains to runs. In fact, now that we have /mc and Trade chat is less frequently used (at least when I've been online), we could even consider merging the two chats into a single Advertisement/Announcement chat.

I'm still not a fan of /LFS. Slash commands are not good.

I honestly prefer the channel. While "looking for" queues helped a lot of people get into raiding in WoW, that success is tainted with the subsequent influx of people to stupid to learn mechanics.

Which is why LFR difficulty in WoW literally turns complex raid bosses into dungeon tank and spank bosses. A channel let's people build core groups and teach people mechanics. Also; social interaction is a plus.

So I agree with you 100% enkelin, a channel is the better option.

I have a counter proposal to you for the trade channel merge though. It should be a completely new channel. Even with /mc, trade chat will blow up and recruitment even more so steam goes well. So, use the greeter status again. No one above 100 can see help unless they ask admins for greeter status. That eliminates clutter so you can add another channel (Recruitment) to the chat bar.

Have it trade off, so recruitment channel cannot be seen until level 100. So at 100 help goes away and is replaced by recruitment.

I like channel because it makes people interact with each other. That may lead to making friends. and social addiction
