I don't think an in game lfg will solve much. The majority of people who aren't raiding aren't doing so because they don't have experience, not because they don't feel like taking out their phone or laptop to find a group. There are not enough people willing to run with noobs in this community. It's been this way for years which is why the number of people who have completed a raid has always been ridiculously low. Sure there are kind people who sherpa and are willing to run with compete noobs, but they are the minority in my experience. I'm in no way saying that it's wrong to not want to sherpa, I get that most people just want to get it done which is perfectly understandable. But what this does is it alienates a lot of people from ever getting to practice and gain experience in raids. Right now, there is no real way to get experience outside of watching videos or lying your ass off and saying you have experience and being a pain in the ass for everyone on your team lol. Optional matchmaking would allow more people to get into raids and actually get to practice and apply the mechanics they've watched on YouTube with other noobs like them. Even if the matchmade team doesn't beat the raid, they still will gain valuable experience. Eventually they'd beat it, raids really aren't all that difficult honestly. The noobs could practice and get better while the people who don't want noobs cab simply ignore the matchmaking and grab groups off of lfg like they've been doing. Either way though, you'll find noobs, so it's kind of silly when people act as if incompetent players and noobs don't exist in lfg and would only exist in matchmaking. If anything, optional matchmaking would decrease the number of noobs on lfg because they'd have a better option for finding players. In the end, there would be way more experienced players because everyone would be able to practice consistently and get better. Not only would the competency of players in optional matchmaking improve over time, the competency of lfg players would also get better. The entire community would become more experienced and instead of having ~20% of players who have beaten a raid and know what to do, you could have 80-90% of players who are experienced. This would dramatically improve the raid experience for everyone, noobs and experienced players alike. ALL you need to do is add a couple of filters that you can check off like "must have mic" and of course matchmaking should only be able to be used by people who are the minimum required light for that raid. This would eliminate mic less people and underleveled players. Then it's simply a matter of hoping you get a competent team, which Imo is no different than lfg. Either way it's a coin toss, but lfg is the slowest and most tedious way to toss that coin. The best thing and pretty much the only argument needed to dispute those who don't want it is this: [b][u]If you don't like the idea of Optional matchmaking, don't use it. It won't effect you at all.[/u][/b]
