    Grouping would go a lot faster and smoother, if accurate locations were described in the Group menu.
    Winter Summit should be Winter Summit Normal or Winter Summit Pain
    Parallel World should be Parallel World Normal or etc.

    Sorting should occur for this. There are too many groups, they should be filtered down to the groups that the player is looking for. When i am in a group and a i get a group request, i would like a button to whisper that person to say something like "we are finished, want to come for next run" or something.

    This whole system is backwards. Instead of people looking for already existing groups, groups should be able to look for individuals. People should individually post thier availablity and preferences. People looking to form a group should be able to filter with several options. It should not be restricted to one zone. For example I should be able to go in and find people anywhere on the server looking to run a specific PW on Excruciating mode and pick which ones i want to invite.

    As it is now: I hide my groups immediatley after forming so I don't get spam chat from peeps or continuus requests down the left side.

    The top of the map in the Winter Solstice Event is called the Summit. Many of the quest items are there, loose or in chests.
    The main entrance is is Kingshill, near Drake, the skeleton, and Thabo. The Queen and Drake have quests.
    The snow globe near the queen goes to a separate map with daily prizes; click on presents to open.
    The quest for the big prize will cost a lot of presents; you may want to melt instead of massive farming in the mini events.

    @BigPapa I guess the 5 people in a group equals 500% monster health might be the underlying issue (waiting for an answer on that) but I think with the idea you proposed, too many weaker players will be disciminated against.

    so weaker players will go with weak players until they become stronger. The strong players were weak too and they had to go through a lot to become strong.

    I always try to group with people who are a little under me or not much better than me.
    But never with op players or noobs. Because complete noobs will drag me down and op players... well I don't want to drag them down. Seems fair. At least if I help a noob, I like to see him trying his best and doing all he can to be helpful to the group.

    Ever since r158 I get spammed by level 10 players asking for group. What are they thinking? "Hmmm gotta find me a sucker to carry me around" :D

    Yes, today we were 2 guys in Winter summit map and the 3rd in winter summit map. But we couldn't see the 3rd one so we kept telling him to reset and come on our map and he kept telling us he's already on the map, waiting for us :D
    After about 10-15 minutes of waiting for each other we realized he was in the mini event map while we were on the main event map XD

    Would be pretty easy to add another chat tab labeled, "Looking for Group." Give it no restrictions so the entire server can access it, but the infrastructure of BP's legion of hampsters probably couldn't handle it.

    In favor of the original proposal.

    i agree the current grouping is not efficient and annoying. any of the above suggestions would be an improvement.
