Player discovery how a player can browse for guilds to apply to, etc.

So the use case we have is that we want to let player's create various organization structures (groups of players and data) and this seems to fit in very nicely with Entity Group in terms of grouping players, setting up roles and having data assoceated with it.

The issue comes when you start looking at how a player should discover these groups to join or apply to. If you have ever played an MMO you know the "social tab" or menu where you can browse for guilds accepting applicaitons, parties looking for members and members looking for parties, etc.

We want to take this sort of feature further but as a known point lets just answer that ...

via PlayFab how can we list guilds so that player's can browse for and apply to join them (in game) assuming the guilds are Entity Groups?

Currently, playfab does not support for searching for groups. Any search on entity groups is a backlog item. If you want to support search of groups, you would need to use an external database to hold infomation on entity groups and query them. For more details, you can refer to this thread.
