Looking for team interface

Something that's really missing at the moment seems to be a decent looking for group/team interface.

The current one in social is just too awkward, and it's not exactly clear on how to add the different flags to yourself or your group.

Finding a group with the current interface is very hard since no one is using it. I spent about an hour yesterday finding a 3 man group for the Sinisister quest in the Desert. I was hopping from instance to instance trying to find someone to team, at one point I just started telling random people of my level using the social interface, needless to say this didn't work very well.

A decent looking for group interface would make searching for groups a lot easier.

Warhammer for example had an excellent looking for group interface, it showed you the current open groups in your area, where they were and what they where doing. When you walked into a new area the open groups where briefly displayed on your screen as well.

This might be hard to do on CO since you use instances instead of seperate servers.

A separate LFT chat channel might help as well.

    If they're not getting rid of the patch and they're going to make it impossible to solo they could at least make it easier to group.

    they should copy the warhammer grouping interface - its good. (also the looking for guild / advertising guild feature)

    How do you access the CO lfg interface, I can't find it? Im new, and theres nothing about it in the manual.

    yes, one of the few things warhammer did well.

    Grouping is one of the most fun aspects of an MMO, the whole point behind the "massive multyplayer" part. Even grinding becomes fun with a group. And as someone above mentioned now that they have added a challenge and made things more interesting the need for a group interface is even more important.

    having to yell in the public chat that only carries to your current zone is so 1995.
