Still need a better tool! Any more info Bioware?! Would love to at least get some idea of what kind of tool you will be adding next? I understand that initially you don't want cross-server but I'm hoping we've given you some good reasons to have cross-server immediately (low population servers, playing at odd hours, fast queue times). Or maybe the choice for []same-server & []cross-server is a good idea? Am I just screaming into the wind by asking for the tool to be like WoW's? Or are you going to come up with some miracle tool that none of us have thought of and isn't currently in any other game past or present? Help us understand your thought processes, please. Silence is deafening. Truth; I have no issues with how the WoW tool worked. Just add a "don't group with again" button at then end and never see the person again.

I hope at the very least they are doing same server while working on technology that enables cross server, among other things. Otherwise they have a serious lack of foresight.

That would be nice. although I think it could be abused one way or another if the list could be manipulated without having to group with them. If people want to be extremely picky/anti-social about who they group with (entire guilds, servers) they can just avoid the tool or risk it and add them after the run if they still proved to them to be so awful.

Otherwise they have a serious lack of foresight. I think that's what I was trying to say. Are we waiting this long just to hear disappointingly that it's gonna be same-server only? Or is Bioware taking their time so that the framework is there to "easily" add cross-server when they feel the game needs it?

My biggest concern is how was there not already a design before release. I know they were squashing bugs and re-prioritizing other features above LFG, but you would think there would already have been a section in the design doc for a proper LFG tool. Are we waiting for you guys to wait to see how bad things get before you sign-off on the LFG tool design? (wow I sound like some conspiracy theory nutjob)

Not sure how (besides hacking) if a person keeps selecting "never group with again" every run then they will find that they have a harder time getting groups as they have lots of folks they will not group with.

Not to beat a broken horse, but in WoW's LFD feature, adding someone to your ignore list means that you will never group with them again. I've only had to use that at most a half-dozen times and never had trouble getting groups (but with cross-server there's probably just too many people in the queue for ignoring a hand full of people to matter). Eventually I removed those people from my list and still never saw them in groups again. Hopefully SWTOR would add such a feature to LFG.

Well I was talking about manipulating the list, for example adding to it, without actually grouping with someone. I do see your point though, if they just kept piling on names to the list their chances of getting groups swiftly would go down. Given the massive pool of people a x-server would pull from though if any of that happened I doubt it would be much of a problem. In that sense adding someone to ignore would be more therapeutic than anything. Some small sense of retribution. It's when the sociopaths go on a nerdrage trying to get everyone that will listen to ban a single person because they got slighted that problems arise.

Hopefully I just know i spent an hour spamming LFG and flagging myself LFG in the excuse called a tool that is there now last night.... UNG stuck in fleet once i got a group I had to wait for the tank to make his way back from Nar Shadaa cause he went questing while his buddy continued to spam for a healer for another 20 min. What is happening now as i did with my main, I out level/outgear the instances and run them solo. I want to be out doing things -- not standing in a cargo bay spamming LFG.

(lame, I know, but whatever) Blue you always find little tidbits of fun to showcase I'll check it out at work in a few hours when I can have some volume up when I'm done with my reports. How funny is it?
