This also underlines the need for essential tools to exist in a game from the begginning. Otherwise people just don't use them. As a partly social medium i'd expect that LFG Tools are considered from the beggining.
Blizzard pointed people in the right direction (hub-based locations, forcing people to be in similiar areas at the same levels on the same quests) but they never quite helped them hold hands. It's one thing putting 20 people in a room together, but it's another thing entirely to get them to form teams
Good to see the flood of design discussion again btw ;oD
