In all honesty...if you can't find groups for FPs and HMs...you shouldn't play MMOs.

Love have you extend your lack of humility to those you agree with.

He complained and or supported complaints in a video game forum just like you clearly are.

Sorry but that isn't synonymous with "having a life."

Yup, you use the game's built-in grouping tool, such as XI's LFG flagging system or the LFD in WOW ...

... er, wait.

Kill it please, it wishes to die.
Pretty much. Reeks of baiting. Have to admit it worked though XD

You do realize that the warzone system AUTO groups you. Have you ever played a warzone? If yes, then you are a lazy piece of ****.

'nuff said. Take your hypocritical bs elsewhere
Premade warzone groups are all the rage on the server I play.

Why? because its a frustrating failfest otherwise.

Nice try..

You're the one that feels the need to say stupid **** like "if you don't play my way, then you shouldn't play MMOs".

Who's ignorant again?

I'll ask once again: have you played in a warzone? If you say yes to that, then you are a hypocrite.

Was I comparing the quality of PvP to something? No. But nice try at reading comprehension.

I was replying to the OP's logic regarding the LFD tool, and his backwards logic that it breeds laziness.

The PvP finder is NO DIFFERENT from a LFD. You push a button, you join a game, you might or might not see them again.


Seriously, please, keep trying to tell yourself that you're some kind of paragon of gaming. This is fun.

Most mmo players of today don't expect to be added to some random person's friend's list, or to add some random person to their friend's list. In fact, most people find that very rude.

Step 2: Hit 50.
That just makes it doubly hard to find a group.

Step 3: Whisper people on your friends list who are also 50 (your list should be gigantic at this point) to do a HM FP. The majority of the time they will say yes. If they need further convincing, stroke their ego and say you are asking them because you have played with them in the past and remember that they were a skilled player.
This is one of the most rude things anyone can do in a mmo. Not only that, but try being a tank or healer when people think it's fine to whisper you out of the blue all game session long.

My opinion is that it is you that has absolutely no idea about mmos and how things work in modern mmos. The internet, and the mmo genre, has become a place to be very wary of as far as "letting in" relatively random people. There's all kinds of weird, angry at the world, malevolent, drama filled, players out there. Doing an instance run with them is one thing. Having anyone you have ever grouped with think it's ok to whisper, invite, etc etc. is entirely another.

This thread was started by yet another that's either living in a past looked at through very rose coloured glasses (meaning a past that never was), or simply "thinking" it should work, because, "well, everyone in the world is just like me....right?"

Mind trick on the republic side has been nothing but respectful both in chat and on the field.
No need to visit I took screenshots of the convos (cant figure out how to insert them here tho, dont think we can). I also reported the people doing it but I doubt anything will come of it. Thats why I laugh when I read about all this "Community" crap and how cross-server LFD will "ruin" it.

Not at all. Just that i think your opinion about MMO´s are so outdated it scary. The game will not survive without at LFG tool that´s just plain facts.

If you you can´t accept that you maybe should stop playing new MMO´s and go back to FFXI.

That said FFXI is by far the best MMO I played but it would been so much better with a LFG tool.
