Socializing is what happens when people actually play the game, not getting frustrated because spamming general is just that, spamming -- nothing personal or social about it. People want to play the game, not talk about possibly playing the game...eventually...maybe..perhaps in another hour or spamming.

I see now. Before I felt as though a majority of the community wanted the finder, and only a small hand full didn't. I am proven wrong. I won't lie, I have been playing mmo's for a while now, but a bunch of your guys thoughts > one solo mans thoughts. You guys obviously know what you're talking about. I draw back my statement. Would you guys who are against a finder, then support an option to all teleport to the instance and back when all are ready? The finder is all about saving time having to look for a group, but what about the travel time (which you must admit, is a pain at times.)

I think there is a middle ground here. Bioware could make a much more robust LFG tool that lets players select roles and what they want to do, but make it so it's not an automatic queue without any socializing whatsoever. Basically, a DPS player interested in The False Emperor would select the DPS role, select The False Emperor, and perhaps put a comment stating his gear. Then the DPS could scroll through a list of other people looking for a group and have a chance of getting messaged by someone else looking through the tool. It's simply a more robust version of the LFG tool already in the game, but I think it would tame a lot of the current forum rage.

Because people are going to use that (pretty much useless) tool because some random guy tells them too.

The finder is all about saving time having to look for a group, but what about the travel time (which you must admit, is a pain at times.) A couple people on a forum doesn't mean much, really. We really don't know what the masses want. As for your teleport: That's what a fleet pass is for. I think BioWare needs to expand on this. Currently it is only available if you use an authenticator (free if you have a smart-phone). It costs 1000 credits and is on a separate 1 hour cooldown. I think they need to tweak it so that the cost scales with level and have it sold at a regular vendor. 1000 credits is a lot more to a level 20-30 than a level 50.

It'd be nice if it worked for heroic quests, also.

It's pointless and hard to read (you can only read 3 words at most). The fact there is an LFG comment proves that Bioware realized there was a need for a mechanism to facilitate grouping, but they were too lazy to implement it correctly.
