This thread should be titled, "Irrational logic and how to form an opinion around it."

Everytime that Tao guy posts 'LFD will force Bioware to dumb down the game11!1' I just laugh.

I mean, I would point out that the more groups going on means that more people would get and understand the flashpoints and know what to do and progressively become more and more geared and therefore more able and apt to do endgame raids and as a result would be more likely to faceroll the Hard Mode Flashpoints, but reading his face-keyboard-smash thought processes has provided a wonderful day of disbelief.

Unless he wants Bioware to continually tune up the instances continually with each tier to make sure they remain hard, which is an absolutely hilarious concept to me.

Here's how it works. A person starts a group, sets some optional parameters like the name of the dungeon/quest/whatever that is to be done, classes needed (or tank, dps, healer), level range and an additional comment like "tank wanted", "no rushing", "everyone welcome" or "zerg, be good". Then the first thing players see when they press O is a list of all groups looking for more players. They click on a group they want to join and the group leader sees something like "NN, level 38 Jedi Shadow wants to join. Accept or Decline?" Then the leader clicks Accept (or decline if the applicant for some reason is not what's he looking for) and so the group is eventually formed and everyone is happy.

Finding a group in DDO is very easy thanks to that awesome LFG system.
This is how it should be. The people who do not want a LFG tool are the people who played WoW so they automatically assume that when people talk about LFG system, they're talking about a WoW LFG model because apperantly WoW created everything.

So. Have good groups that you have to wait 5 hours for... or have mostly good groups, occasional turds, but get in and get the flashpoint done in a reasonable amount of time... I think the winner is obvious.

I don't know about you, but I have other things to do than stand around and spam /1 for 5 hours looking for a tank.

I don't consider a check box on a /who tab to be a LFG tool

You don't get it.

You are not socializing enough.

What you need to do is whisper each person individually, ask them how their day was, what kind of dinner they ate, how they enjoyed their chicken teriyaki kabobs at Shogun Restaurant.

Then when the ice is broken, you pop the question, 'Would you like to Heal my instance, my good man?' and nine times out of ten, you will be declined.

Do not worry, for you have made a friend in the process.

The LFG intergrated in the who/social tab would work as a tool if only ppl bothered to use it... and in a way even better you can see who you're potentially grouping with. But for some reason it's beyond the comprehension of those screaming for a tool...
