Quick and Easy Party Join Function

I think it would be a great idea to implement a quick join button to town areas. What this would do is it would simply place you in a waiting list that would wait a certain amount of time and place you in a team of random people. If there are too few people, it would give you just the few people and some bots.

So to a player, all he would have to do is:

1) Click on a "join" button

2) It would give him a window saying "searching for players"

3) Throw him into party of people, the leader being random

I think this is important because while there is a party forming system, it's too obscure to be noticed by anyone but the experienced players. And since the game is called Guild Wars, it would be nice to play with anybody, rather than nobody. This is just an easy way to get people playing with others and would have people more likely doing so than just questing alone. If you cannot implement it in GW1, please consider it for GW2. I think the problem with many online RPGs is that they make partying such a hassle to do that people end up skipping it. If it was easy, then people would go for it always.

It's sort of how Blizzard streamlined matchmaking from Starcraft 1 to Starcraft 2 by removing so many choices to play games and rather just added a "Join Game" button, which makes it such a breeze to get into a game whether with teammates or by yourself. Here's a picture of what it would look like.
