A problem in Fireteam Finder and two possible solutions.

Reposted because *someone* moved it to the wrong category. This is about the [u]Ingame Fireteam Finder[/u], *NOT* the app or website. There are a lot of "dead" listings in fireteam finder. By that I mean listings that are up for a long time and never change, accept applications, or have auto join set but the fireteam is already playing at capacity. This clogs up the fireteam finder list. Without naming, there's at least one listing up right now that has been there since *yesterday* Solution 1: Simply delete listings after some fixed TTL, say 15-20 minutes. Solution 2: Put a clock on listings that shows how long the listing has existed, so people know at least when a listing is probably dead.

Solution 2 I like. Add to that an indicator of how many people are in the posters FIRETEAM. If we could see right away a run is full we won't even bother clicking. About the time limit on posts: My team used to put up an application required Fireteam Finder post, get a full team for Divinity, remove the LFGs from the post, and leave the post up so that we find more people who are looking for Div while we do that run. I made a custom app to auto look up every applicant to see if they need Divinity or not so you wouldn't even get an invite if you didn't need div. You, not knowing how we run our ship, would think it's a "dead" post when in reality we were likely the most active users of fireteam finder. Many sherpa and farm(read clear farmers, not loot farmers) groups function this same way. That being said, I often do see disrespectful players leave up a post when they are full wasting everyone's time. I love being in a run and hearing the classic "Can't they see we're full?!?" Umm, no, they can't actually.
