Tag yourself LFG

So you can group with the one other person on your server who knows about and uses the feature

I strongly believe that this system would work if people used it. I notice there is sometimes a blurb about it in one of the loading screens. What more can BW do to encourage people to actually use it?

Would it be such a bad idea if you couldn't physically get into a group phase unless you were tagged? I think the game should force persuade you to tag yourself LFG if you have any intention of joining a group.

There's a lot of players using it on my server, and it seems to be working well.
Haven't had any problems on any of my alts getting the Heroics and Flashpoints done.

People just want the game to be EZ Mode we shouldn't even have this! Seeing people spamming in General just brings the community together! Plus it lets other Elitist Snob DKP Guilds like mine down these people who spam General so its a double win!

Maybe it hasn't caught on yet on mine. Much more often than not, I am the only one who is tagged out of 60-120 people.

A world where people use the tools given to them in the proper way so they have no reason to come over the forums and whine about the lack of a feature that is already in game?

I always flag myself as LFG as a healer. And then watch and lauch when I see the /1 spam of people looking for healers......

It realy is a nice tool but as it seems right now, it's being used less and less on my server. Sunday there where a grand total of 10 people flagged for LFG @ 4PM.

you mean on the fleet?

you can actually search the whole server... usually when I do that I find 5-10 people on the whole server who are tagged lfg.... but they all spam the fleet to death

I tried to get people in beta to use it (remember when npcs would appear to be lfg? hehe) but it never caught on and I had to give up using it myself

It feels perfectly natural for me to look for a group this way, since that was always how we did it back when I used to play CoH but I don't know why so many swtor players won't use it.

Recently, I spent about 5 minutes replying to everyone who LFG'd in General: "You should tag yourself LFG", and got /ignored by a few people, so I gave up.

I still think BW could do a lot more to educate players about the LFG tool.
