At first all i heard was ghost stories about the LFG option, in that it was useless and just a worthless new update, however now my view has changed after last night.

Now and then i like to street sweep the shadow shards because of the good drops i tend to get from them [they're my very lucky drop group] and decided to stay in the LFG que for first available while doing so. 15 minutes later a popup came up asking me to join a lambda!

A current lambda league didnt have enough players and was space for me and what happens when they loaded into the trial? Damz has gatecrashed the league baby yeah!
So while the LFG system might not be perfect, i certainly think it is a good little thing

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

I can imagine the horror on those poor people happily doing their trial then having you land in their laps! Oh, the humanity!

People using LFG and expecting to instantly be added to a League are doing it wrong.

It would be better if we could do missions also.

Going by my secondary mutation timer, I waited over an hour on a Friday night without getting in. That's an indication something is working poorly.

I have only seen a league "fill" once with anyone from the LFG, and that added only 2 people when we had room for 4. Presumably this means that there were only 2 available.

As it currently stands, the system is worthless.
