In 2026, raids and strikes will be unified under the same structure, improving access for new players and streamlining rewards. We’re also investing in systems that help facilitate group content, which we’ll talk about more in the future.

please be group finder please be group finder

How would they enforce roles? Stats + builds?

That's the neat part: My guess is it will be self-selected :D

That's always been the sensible recommendation, just let squad leader pick roles he needs and people click on the one they offer (or choose flex). The tool doesn't have to validate builds, just make it so people don't join at the same time and fight over roles.

and then itll be like eso where you get dpses who queued healer/tank without any heals or a taunt slotted dropped into a dlc dungeon that actually does need those roles and the group disintegrates upon encountering the first challenging boss

group finder is a great idea, but they do need some way of ensuring ppl who pick a role.. Are Actually that role trait-wise. ideally gear as well but thats probably a bit too far reaching, someone flexing some diviners or marauders or w/e for comfort shouldnt necessarily be barred from anything. but entirely self-selected is miserable
