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

But for some reason it's beyond the comprehension of those screaming for a tool... Exactly. As it stands the function of the tool already in-game is perfect. Maybe BW should make it into a seperate window so it's easier to comprehend... <_<

Because it is a counter-intuitive process and especially given how much the UI blows the Empire State Building, a grand total of ten people will be using it.

There's nothing counter-intuitive about it. It's not like they hid the LFG function in your talent window. It's in /who. That's where you go when you're looking for people. Constantly arguing BW needs to implement an LFG tool and ignoring the fact that one already exists in-game isn't the best way to inform people to use it.

The tool works fine. You can see who's LFG in the entire server and what they're LFG for. A) The who tab is limited to 100 people B) The comment gets cut off C) No one uses it, and if they do you don't know if they are STILL looking for group or not. D) It sucks compared to what they COULD come up with (not LFD) There is no tutorial popup on using it or anything so why would you assume people know it's there. It's a sucky system. It should be a tab all by itself! Why wouldn't it be. You can't argue they cannot improve on it.

D) It sucks compared to what they COULD come up with (not LFD) 1) you dont need to see everyone. Rank by highest level. 2) How much do you need to put in a comment? Heal Taral V 3) Not the tool's fault. I use it. Why don't you? That's what talking is for. 4) They could improve it, but the only real problem (lack of people using it) is the result of user-ignorance, not the tool. They could improve it. They should improve it. But nobody's arguing that. Everyone simply pretends it doesn't exist or honestly believes there isn't one already, which doesn't help educate people to it's existence at all. There is an LFG tool, tell people it exists, encourage people to use it.

Quote: Originally Posted by Bigguyonarock 3) Not the tool's fault. I use it. Why don't you? That's what talking is for. Ooh goodie, you use it. Shame you are probably not looking for my group and you are like the only other person using it.

User-error, not the counter-intuitive design. If something as integral as a LFG system on an MMO is not being utilized by a large portion of the player base that is a Developer problem, not a user one, because the Users almost always go for the greater convenience for them. Clearly this is not convenient.

There is an LFG tool, tell people it exists, encourage people to use it. So the solution to the problem of grouping is to "encourage people to use the LFG tool" while I'm standing around the fleet spamming general? I'd rather not sit around the fleet while everyone continues to ignore the lfg tool. It's going to take a long time for people to figure out and I'd rather quest or do PvP. We need a Flashpoint finder
