<p>Most of the time i play twinks of all level ranges, its because i cant find a suitable group with my mainchar. While im playing my alts i want to read the higher Level_60-69 channels, but i cant because i cant join this channels with a lower char. You enforce us to play in lower zones too, Mentor there and help others, but please allow us the search for a group in the meantime for our main chars. i wished the new lfg/lfm window would handle this but it isnt. It would be nice if we can choose with which char(s) we are lfg. Often i wrote and also read things like this on the channels:</p><p>conj 70 or monk 56 or guard 67 or wizard 32 or paladin 24 or necro 44 lfg</p>

I agree, there should be some way to do LFG for higher levels, even if we dont have an alt higher than us, sometimes you need to find higher level people to help with a quest or want to be mentored for faster experience.

While I agree there should be away to LFG for your alts (LFM is not nessicary as you should be on the one that needs more if your already in a group) using the LFG tool. However, I don't think it would be a good Idea to allow everyone to have access to a global LFG channel, be it the current lvl restricted ones or a new one. Mainly because most of the chat that seems to go on in these channels already has nothing to do with LFGing but is devoted to the current FotM Internet desuction and the LFG calls many times get lost in the clutter, this would only be made worst if every player in game could have access to these channels, this would also give Gold Sellers a new and far easier(and available to Free accounts) way to spam us all with their ads.

The new LFG/LFM tool, as far as I've used it, allows you to browse for groups you fit into as well as groups your current character doesn't.  It even has a little 1-3 star rating that tells you if you're a good fit or not. Now personally, I think it's FAR more trouble than it's worth for me to be sitting there on my 19 Brigand and say, "hey, 70 Assassin LFG."  That'll just confuse everyone.  But while I'm sitting there on my 19 Brig, I can still look at the Groups LFM window and see that there's a level 70 group LFM, and I can shoot them a tell asking if they need a 70 Assassin. I think the trick to the tool and to group-finding is that really, you need to be proactive.  You can't just flick on a tag and expect the whole world to arrange itself for you.
