I dont't know what changes BW is making for the LFG system in 1.2 but atm it's quite bad
Usually when questing around various planets there maybe 1 person besides me looking for somekind of grouping action.
One quick solution could be that make it more visible (now sosial menu and then -> who tab i belive)
There could be a place in the top left corner where u see how many players in planet, friends and mail are online. Maybe add a number of LFG people there too?
And 1 small suggestion, i dont know is it just my screen resolution or what but i usually dont see more than about 8ish letters in those LFG wishes
