I agree that the guild has killed the group of strangers... It seemed that all my groups in EQ2 were guildies, and we would invite or advertise to fill in the gaps as needed... If the new person proved to know their class, had an attitude that fit our guild, and popped up on our friends list frequently enough, a guild invite was soon to follow... It just seemed that there were so many solo's out there that had no idea what they were doing, or were possibly 8 years old that they would destroy any viable duo or three way group of strangers... again it went back to the guild and grouping with trusted friends...

Again i agree, the guild killed the LFG world... My advice for VG is to allow a dynamic guild creation and management tool, and allow guilds to flourish and the LFG problem should be minimized...
