A lot of these queues are basically incompleteable as pugs as they take a lot of prior knowledge to complete successfully. This doesn't mean new people can't do it, if they get an explanation first of what needs doing and in which order. This is impossible to do in the scant time from you dorp into the queue until it begins. Such explanations needs to be given before even queuing up.

Inb4 "just read the briefing in the queue".
1) Not everyone learns well from reading.
2) Some people need the info more than once to process it properly.
3) Not everyone is a fast reader
4) And - and this is going to come as a major shock to many players I know - not everyone has English as a first language and hence might only get incomplete understanding from the briefing. (Yes I know the game is available in other languages too, but not everyone has German or whatever as their first language either. Point stands.)

And no fleets and friend lists aren't really viable alternatives here.

Nope Zone chat doesn't work either as most of us have it turned off due to the toxity of the general chat.

We really need a LFG channel. We've needed one for years, but we definitely need one now. And I have no freaking clue why we don't have one and there seems no plan in making a game wide, or at least zone wide, LFG channel.]]>
