Bioware does not want us to run FPs much I guess

Here was my super "fun" experience trying to get a FP going tonight


I start off in the General Channel: DPS LFG Taral V

I spam the channel for a few mins and get another DPS to join, ok.

I flag myself with the super awesome LFG flag and make a note

I check the /who to see if anyone is LFG, 2 people with just "LFG" in the note and way under or over my level

I check my friends list, most people have either moved past it or can't/don't want to join

I asked in my guild, same situation as my friends list

I spam the channels some more, tried the Fleet and a few level appropriate planets

I spam the channels some more, other DPS get bored and leaves

I spam the channels some more, check the who list, ask in guild again.

I spam the channels some more

Is this the awesome tight friendly and fun community I am hearing so much about? Is this what it means to be social?

I ended up calling it quits after about an hour.

Really... that's the only way, eh? Because I actually managed to make several friends in a guild before the game even launched. Had to apply, though... I'm guessing you're one of those people who would get rejected if they could even manage to put together a decent app.

lol

Hate to break this to you but, people who spam a comment ever minute or less go on my ignore.

I seriously hope you don't do this.

Guess what, in WoW you can make a group from only your server and run dungeons if you want.

For the rest of us, LFD tools provide a way to do dungeon runs and actually play the game instead of spamming chat.

To intentionally hold back a feature like that if just pure failure on Bioware's part.

Bioware is holding back features like server forums, LFD, and mods in some righteous effort to make this game more pure than its competitor and it will backfire on them.

The example the OP provided is real. It happens. You can say "spam chat less" or "join a guild" or whatever you want, but it's time to get with the times and bring this MMO up to the basic standards that have been set.

I just do a /who search for the entire server playerbase within the level range (type 30-34) and start asking politely. never taken me more than 15 min to get a group together. Emphasis on politely though. use excuse me and apologize if they say no. gained tons of friends this way. that is how you build a community.

That's probably the saddest thing I've heard all week. Maybe you should spend more time posting applications to actual IRL jobs and get out more.

Also this is a fighting game, not a dating sim.

Not only does he do that but he's proud of it. This is the funniest thing.
