New LFG tool is a fail

I just notice I can't start a group if I am not in a major city. I have no access to any other zone channel other than the one I am in.

I can't queue for raids and dungeons at the same time.

I can't queue for BG while waiting for a dungeon which takes roughly 10 minutes.

This thing is a fail.

Are you trying to make a preform group? In my experience the random groups tend to work out pretty well and I just hop in the Dungeon Finder from wherever I am.

We wanted to make sure it worked for dungeons first and foremost before diving into the raid area or mixing them together. We will see how we can improve this in the future.

I can't queue for BG while waiting for a dungeon which takes roughly 10 minutes.

Even if this was allowed I doubt you'd be done with the BG before the dungeon finder is ready and jumping from BG to dungeon (or vice versa) isn't something we want to promote.

We have received a lot of positive feedback on this new feature and it has seen a lot of use. That said we do want to continue to work on it and improve it in the future.

TLDR: Wrong.
