Like..on a game forum where we microanalyze the universe in endless detail?

I'd have no objection to something modeled on a good grouping tool.  CoX for example.

Note: Grouping Tool.   Different from Dungeon Finders.

This.

But whatever - I will stick to guild only groups anyway. [mod edit]

I dont really care.

I mostly do dungeons with my guild but at times we add a PUGing player or 2 to fill the group (we are a small guild after all). So far have we never had to wait more than 5 mins to fill a group.

Then again, a dungeonfinder wouldnt really hurt me but I think there are better additions ANET could work on instead, the guildparts in GW2 needs improvements.

Ummm, I have a suggestion. To help both people.

basically, player a, the person looking for a group, makes a ticket, which can be filled out on the board of explorers. This ticket will go on the board of explorers. This board can be brought up anywhere in the world, and the board is split based on what dungeon the ticket holder wants to do, his profession, and his build. He can then go out and explore the world. 

Player b is putting a group together, so all he has to do is go on the board mentioned earlier. From here, he mails his request to the person he is interested in by pressing a convenient button on the board. If they aren't busy, they can join the group. If not, they simply say no. 

Should player a want to take out his ticket, he simply has to go on the board and press remove.

this is my idea on about how the dungeon finder should work. This will bring people together by forcing use of the mail system, and provide a simple way to find people anywhere while at the same time allowing them to keep doing what they want without having to stand around like idiots. The waypoint system will allow for quick transport to the dungeons. So, there you go.

No. That's what we have guilds for.

Im sorry but as the founder and only member of Emo Sad Kids [EMO] I disagree 

Anything that helps people group up im down with.

make a tool for everything.

Open world pve, wvw, dungeons, sPVP Getting a team together should take no effort at all.

Who wants to be required to be in a massive guild or send out messages in chat for two hours to get a run going.

I'd say if they limited it to not teleporting people directly to the dungeon and forcing people to travel to the actual dungeon door to get in that would work.

It's when people are just standing around in cities waiting for a group that it becomes stupid. Let them do what they are doing now, stand around in front of the dungeon door to form a group. It would solve the problem and keep the new mechanic from breaking immersion.

Putting in a dungeon finder in any game is basically admitting that you screwed up the game design and have given up.

How so?

That game,how they put it,they will find new friends because of automated teaming everywhere,automated "friends" everywhere,in WvWvW in quests ,bosses ,can be in multiple guilds and x-server too i think,whatever there is.

If that was true that they will find "friends" that way,its good for socializing etc,now where is those "friends"

They have teamed now for about 10,000 people or something like that,they should now have atleast 100-500 friends on their friendlists but what kind of friends are those if they are not willing to help in dungeons and theres only 9 of those,says wiki.

to me it looks like that those kind of socializing tools are scumbag finders.

Well putting in vertical progression so quickly has already said that.
