I wouldnt mind dungeon finder as long as it sticks to realm only.Make it easier to get groups together.
Are you seriously suggesting sir, something sinister sounding circumstantially surrounding some scissors?!

No, they get nerfed in the normal progression scheme Blizzard has set up. As more and more guilds hit a wall and after the super-hardcore guilds are already farming the hardest content, it's only logical to add a slight nerf to allow more and more people to experience the content. NOT because people are whining.

They don't have to wait around, they have guilds and the laundry list of friends they've made so they can get a group in 2 minutes easily. That is unless they have been lying about their current situation.

After playing this game since release I played some WoW the last couple days and it was.....Refreshing. It's a great feeling to have ACCESS to ALL the content with the push of a button. Don't get me wrong, I like TOR and it has huge potential but its content right now is limited. Limited by server population, faction population, planet population and fleet population. Accessibility is the issue.

"a lot of people will use it"

That's why they need to put it in.

Asking for a LFD tool and having some good points in why we should have it is good and all, but what then if we do eventually convince Bioware to go with X-LFD? Yes, it'd be ideal to where we can choose to queue for X-server or same server, but to be honest, to me it sounds a little bit naive to think just having the option for same server will help; unless the bonuses for doing same server outweigh wanting to do X-server, then I don't see same server really being at all helpful.

The LFD tool is just for convenience sake to help more people get into the MMO content. I see more people wanting to do X-server than same server when, more than likely, the queues may be a lot shorter than the queues for same server; for there will be a lot more people to be able to group within the X-server queues. As there are a lot of players that don't really have the ability to play during prime time and the normal hours.

In my honest opinion, if any LFD tool is to be added, it really should be for Hardmode FPs; since with of how leveling is, it's optional to run FPs, while you can still easily level to 50, with just questing alone. For it's ridiculously easy to be overleveled for a planet, if you make sure: to do the bonus/side quests to the quests, do space dailies, and do the Bonus Series quests on the planet. Note of how I didn't mention Heroics/Area quests in that list, because they are optional to do, and if you do them, like FPs, they will easily help outlevel you for planets.

How can anyone justify restricting an option people would PREFER to use so a lesser option remains the norm?

That sounds like a great logic

People from populated servers need to help faction imbalances and low population server. There has to be a wait penatly if there is a same server option

So true. Everyday more and more people are coming to this conclusion

Bioware wasted a lot of resources on those leveling FP's, many people would actually like to see them. People need them desperately for all FP's. On some servers it's impossible to find regular lvl 50 cause the player bubble has moved on to HM's.

When you have a ladder system of progress like regular instances --> Hard modes, when the player bubble moves PAST the regular instances you're basically SOL trying to get groups for them. That is why a X-LFD is needed and will be implemented
