Title pretty much says it all. I will say HATS OFF to bioware for really taking the initiative and fixing a lot of things, you can see their playing hardball and not willing to see this game fail. However, most of us are dying to get a dungeon finder that will allow us to access flashpoints with more ease. I hate hate HATE to bring up the game which should not be spoken...but WoW dungeon finder is for the most part the type we have been asking for. Why not copy a little, then put on a little twist to make yours unique? We know a simple patch can bring it in, as WoW did it np with a quick patch. So...why is it being pushed off till after 1.1? focusing on critical bugs before adding new content? No bugs are really "gamebreaking" imo...and you guys are releasing a new flashpoint...so new content is being introduced... Common Bioware, you know you want to EDIT: Patch Notes : http://www.swtor.com/community/showt...85#post1276185

It took Rift two major patches to get their single server dungeon finder, if memory serves.

Because Bioware has repeatedly said it's not a priority or even an interest. The developers would rather encourage methods of grouping that encourage socializing.

The community is so split on this feature and there are FAR more important things to focus on (Ability Delay, Warzone Framerates, Encounter tweaking, Other bug fixes) before a fluff feature like this that does nothing to contribute to the community and social aspect of the game. Plus it only further encourages laziness and instant gratification which plagues the current generation of gamers.

Can't throw more money to make the Developer figure out how to do it quicker. They'll add it if there's enough demand and once they actually figure the coding out. WoW didn't have a dungeon finder for what, 5 years? It came at the end of the last expansion with Icecrown Citadel.

It's all about the social elements, even server exclusive dungeon finders are harmful to the community.

It didn't exactly do much but to turn "We want a dungeonfinder" into "The queues are too long!" As another poster mentioned, Bioware has already said they don't want to make a dungeonfinder. So I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were in your shoes, OP.

I feel dungeon finder is way too spoon-fed. When it first came out for WoW, I thought it was really nice because I hated finding groups for the daily. What it did in the long term was basically kill any sense of community on a server. You're mostly grouped with random people that you will never see again. Then Blizzard did stupid crap like adding kick timers (so literally one jerk can ruin the experience of 4 other people). That said, I think BioWare needs to have a better LFG system.
