Possible leaked screenshots of the new LFG and PvP windows?

The new LFG system that Blizzard has been hinting at is one of the things I am most looking forward to in the expansion. The current system, either using meeting stones (nobody does) or braving the LFG channel (if you're crazy) simply is not up to the task. These screenshots over at Gaming Hybrid seem to indicate a rather robust looking for group system and PvP matchmaking service awaits us in the Burning Crusade.If these screenshots are legit, and I have no reason to believe they aren't, that could mean that the days of looking for a group while sorting through endless spam could be at an end. Granted, the best way to find a group now is within your friends list or guild ranks, but this seems to be a much better solution than Blizzard's previous efforts at helping us find a party of like-minded adventurers. You can check out the screenshots after the jump.
[Thanks Gamerz22 for sending this in and Gaming Hybrid for providing the leaked pictures!]

All I can say is it's about time. No more waiting for two hours to get a UBRS group going. Just pick what you need and go.

It seems almost identical to the addon Call to Arms. One of the best addons I use.

Thank you for posting this :) Asking the owner of the site, the insider has hinted the proof is from the F&F client box, which is part of the beta thing...
Cool stuff, at least things are getting better! Can't wait for TBC!!! Collector's Edition all the way!

Nice-- looks a little like DDo, but smoother and simpler to use. (As you would expect from WOW.)

It's about time, I say. Considering how group based WoW is, it's a wonder how bad the LFG-system is at the moment. Has anyone actually ever used the meeting stones and found a good PuG that way?

Amaris,
The only time I ever actually found a group using the Meeting Stone was a long, long time ago for Ragefire Chasm. And we didn't even make it halfway through.
*sigh*

This is fine for dungeons. But I hope there is a LFG checkbox row in the Quest List. Entering in quests via a drop-down menu manually (when you could so easily just check a box next to the quest in your quest display) would be annoying.

The guy at Gaming Hybrid says they might be receiving updated looking versions of the windows from their insider soon, which could mean more answer or at least a corrected window display :P
