Lol, Exactly!

Yeah the storyline quests and dialogue are cool, but when you reach level cap then it's the same. You got dailies, flashpoints (dungeons), and ops to grind.

If you make this game exactly like a game I'm no longer willing to pay for I promise to quit your game as soon as another game, that I want to be an expansion for World of Warcraft, comes along.

You are aware that WoW is not the only game with one now .... right?

EQ2, Rift, and Aion come to mind. You honestly just come across as a bitter WoW player.

Cross server flashpoint finder? No.

Same server flashpoint/heroic mission finder? YES.

Nothing cross server please.

A good detailed LFG tool without instant grouping/porting would be nice.

Seriously, I would be fine with anything more than what we currently have. Improved lfg tool ... go for it and when it still fails because no one will still use it can we still say told you so? Single server would work for the populated servers while leaving everyone else to suffer, the only real answer is what will work ... cross server lfd all the way.

I believe single server could work as long as low population servers are consolidated first to increase the average population pool to get players from.

No. No Thank you.

WoW's cross server dungeon finder spoiled us all. For the benefit of making forming groups completely mindless and easy it completely destroys any sense of community.

OP, want a hint on how to run FPs more consistently without a tool for it? Use your friends list. Add players you enjoyed grouping with to it, talk to the people you group with and get to know them. Join a guild of people who enjoy running FPs. Go to level appropriate planets and ask in the general chat there. Don't just sit on the fleet.

The Cross server dungeon finder turns running dungeons into a lobby game. Which to me is worse than just having to put in a little extra effort to find a group.

What we do need is a more thorough LFG tool. We need something that looks for players anywhere on the server, rather than just the specific zone you are in. Accompanied with a server wide LFG channel it would go a long way to alleviating wait times.

I have literally played an entire planet, doing all the solo missions, and while I'm doing them I would shout out every 10-15 minutes "LFG for the heroics on this planet" and never get an invite. Then I finish the planet and don't want to hang around on it just to finish up the heroics, so I abandon them and move on. On average I have done one or two heroics on each planet, and haven't been able to do a FP as I level without shouting LFG on the station for at least 30 minutes... and I don't do that anymore, I got sick of it.

I clear all 7 hardmode 4 mans every evening with my guild.

You need to get friends, socialize, and stop blaming the game for your shortcomings.

You call WoW a lobby game, honestly what do you feel is different between WoW's end game and SWTOR's level 50 cap?
