SWTOR does not need another's game lfg mechanic
... but it does need a tool for people looking to group.

I don't agree with adding WoW's version of the LFG tool. I liked it at first but breaks my immersion for us to be reduced to pug and port. SWTOR should come up with their own version of the LFG tool, below are my thoughts.

Looking for What?
Heroics and Flashpoints.

How?
With terminals on Fleet, Space Stations, and Major Cities. You select what you're looking for and it will automatically start grouping you with people looking for the same content.

The Grouping Terminal does not port you to the instance ...
You must remain in certain areas; Fleet, Space Stations, Major Cities or your ship while in queue - for social and quick travel access. Once you have at least one group member, you can then travel anywhere while others are fount.

... but it can make travel quicker.
When the group is full, planet side players can use the Grouping Terminal Drop Ship to take them to the closest space port (this option would be on top of mini map on any planet while in a GT group).
In the future space stations could also have a GTDS that would take the group to the heroic on that planet or GT hangers for your ship instead of using Interfleet Transport.
