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

So you are telling us, that there are only 43 people on your whole server online? Even if you play at 5 am, this is most likely not true.

I play at weird hours sometimes and there are always a few hundred people online. Not all are 50 yet - thats true but in a few weeks they will, why not lvl a second char in the meanwhile?

I don't know which game your playing, but it doesn't work like that.
I play MMORPGs since Everquest which didn't have an LFG tool and was entirely group focused so you had to use your imagination to find/make a group.
Yet in SWTOR is impossible and what you suggest is quite naive. Sticking everyone on your friend list just because they played with you once, won't let them remember about you. You have more chances contacting ramdom people and asking them if they want to run an instance with you.
Truth is the LFG system in TOR is awful, the fact that the chat channels are local basically makes it impossible to find a group in less tha 20 minutes.
It' s just bad design from Bioware. Even EQ a 10 yo game had an universal chat where people could spam the LFG message.
Not good enough Bioware

What does them getting to 50 have to do with anything? Everyone getting to 50 is not going to make one iota difference in wait times for groups. Everyone getting to max level has never made an iota of difference in wait times to find groups in any other mmo where there wasn't a LFD tool, and there's absolutely no reason to think it'll be different in SWTOR. It's just a "band-aid" statement thrown out there to try and appease people for the short term so they don't cancel their sub after the free month.

I never got what people have agaist a LFG tool. If you don´t like it just don´t use it. You can still whisper your special people on friend list etc.

It just a helpful tool for people that like to do other things while waiting for a group.

fixed

And last month I was able to down the last boss of Dragonsoul raid in LFR after waiting five minutes in LFR,whats your point?

I really liked the LFG - tool in wow. Just click the mouse button and within minutes you are playing group content with other people no matter what level. Or in Rift, where you can join public groups just with a click of a mouse button and enjoy group content.

That's what MMO's should be. They should make it easy to group and play with others. Isn't that the whole idea of MMO's?

no try reading again. IN THE FLEET....is what I said.


As there is no cross server chat, thats all that matters (still I bet those, let me check, 6 people in illum really add to the pool of players, esp as 2 of them are below 20...).

And not all of those in the fleet are at my level range of course.

I'll jsut check again. Ok its gone up, 49 people now...

Next to nothing. Stop pretending otherwise.

He said at fleet not the server. Since that tends to be one of the places people flock to in the game it was an example to show that not all servers have the same populations hence making it more difficult to group.

...and what does being level 50 have to do with anything? Better yet if for some reason that is a point your suggestion is that they should go level another toon? Really?
