I personally find the LFG tool from WoW being useless, the chan system (general) works fine, and a special chan with only good guilds works even better.
I like the idea of a guild communication channel. On my wow server, we have good relations with several guilds and it would definitely ease the ability to form a group for content when we don't have certain classes online (usually tanks). It also lends itself to RvR game where the competition is more against the other faction.

I also agree, Wow's LFG tool is useless, but I believe it's because it was released so late it didn't become part of the culture of the game. People found other ways to find groups so not many use the tool. Had it been there from release before really established guilds were around, I think it would be more heavily used.

If you are right, it's encouraging that Aion does have something to help find groups at the start when people are new and don't know many people.
