How does a tool that helps you group with other people make it a single-player game???

Do you haters really work at being stupid, or are you just naturally talented at it?

Because not having an LFD system forces those antisocial people to actually open up a bit and talk to people instead of simply clicking a button and having a group handed to them.

And for the record, calling people stupid because your too stupid to understand their argument is stupid.

Don't worry, LFD will be implemented at some point. It'll probably start with same server only and then depending on how well it works either stay like that or move to cross-server. Unfortunately it'll take some months, which sucks because if you are on a server where the republic population isn't that high it can take a long time to get a group.

All these people against LFD are actually the vocal minority. There's a reason why Blizzard continues to refine theirs and just recently added the LFR - it keeps their biggest demographic happy which is also going to end up being SWTOR's.

In the mean time, they should at least add a global LFG channel. I know I hate sitting in the station LFG or whispering people one by one by looking them up in a window, when I could be questing on a planet.

People are still out in the world leveling. They simply run pvp and dungeons on the side. Why is that a bad thing?

We still talk each other. Plenty in fact. It just isn't centered around putting groups together anymore. There is simply a lot less LFG spam on the trade, other than raid groups that plenty of people are still putting together. As for tanks... nothing really changed tbh. After LFD tanks started charging for instant queues. Before LFD they charged for running dungeons for you. Same thing, just different setting.

Yeah, an atypical case, make a statement and anyone who doesn't agree just because you say so. If you really represent the cream of the "community" that you claim to so care about, then it really isn't much you're standing for.

You anti LFD finder people are idealizing a golden era in grouping that never actually existed.

how does a LFG tool increase the number of players wanting to do a flashpoint? If no one wants to do it, then you'll just be sitting in a que by yourself. If you can't find anyone on the planet or in the zone where the quest takes place, will a LFG tool force other people to join? I'm assuming you're talking about same-server LFG because cross-server would be problematic for several reasons. So an LFG tool doesn't help you find a healer or find more players, it just removes the responsibility of someone actually forming the group. Just don't see this as a real solution to anything. They could make adjustments with server pop caps and locking busy servers to new players to help with low pop servers.

Please stop claiming a LFG tool would help general chat. That's ridiculous. Even if you take out people LFG, 90% of general chat is useless drivel anyway. And if LFG comments are flooding general chat then there are plenty of other people LFG for you to team up with.
Here is how it works

I am tank standing on shadowhand server looking to run some flash point. I am questing and want to run some flash point. I spam chat no answer, I list myself, no one asks me. I look for others, no one else has themselves listed. I may eventually find a group or I may just give up.

However, on Grand Master Zym server there is a group of 2 DPS and a healer that want to run the same instance, but they cant find a tank. they may eventually find a tank or may just give up.

With a nice LFD queue, we are all in a our flashpoint running our instance in a matter of seconds.

Clearly the most important issue being discussed here is that Bioware messed up its factions.

Instead of Sith vs Jedi, they should have had Anti-LFG vs Pro-LFG.

Now those are to groups that hate each other.
