Party/Raid Finder Thoughts

Hello! I know that feelings are usually mixed on having a party or raid finder included (such as with WoW or FFXIV) as it can lead to players being less social, but I wonder if not having it will do more harm than good? I know plenty of people who would stop playing after they find out that they would have no choice but to reach out and find friends or join a guild to do most content. Would it be better to include it and keep those players even if they end up being less social?

I like the LFG tool in Guild Wars 2. It's not random or matchmaking. In the LFG toolpanel players can see groups that is looking for players and can easily click a "join" button, and the person that put up the group for advertise can type in what they are looking for.

I'd prefer that everyday over a spammed LFG-chat channel. So annoying. And people doesn't always restrict themselves to only spam their LFG's in the LFG-chat channel..

So like the custom group LFG in wow
Just a specific interface for making groups not an auto match maker?
I could be ok with that.

I haven't played wow so I have no idea.
But yes it's a specific interface for advertising and searching for groups. It's simple and easy to advertise and join any advertised groups.
No automatic matchmaking.

It looks like this:
