I've been 50 for a month and yet to find a group for flashpoint.

Right, so everybody who disagrees with you is a troll? Heck friend, due to having the opportunity I had with extensive play times (and finishing my story line) in beta. I was literally one of the first people to 50 on my server (no, not boasting. Just providing contrast). Even then I had no problem getting into a flashpoint by LFG in general chat.

I'm not saying I disagree with you, I would very much like to see a same-server LFG tool that auto-grouped folks. What I'm saying is, what kind of response did you expect when you bring negativity like this to the forums?

I think you should be a lil more proactive with your LFG tool (actually flag yourself LFG w/your role clarified), and seek other members from the list as well. Once you have 2/4 people, the other two will come quicker than you expect. On my server, quite a few people flag themselves as LFG. A month at 50 and you havent found a single group, either you're playing 10mins during off-peak times, or you arent trying very hard.

If you're still having problems, hell... come over to Jedi Covenant Imperial side and you can run non-stop flashpoints with me and my guild.
Haters gonna Hate.. the rest of us are too busy playing SWTOR to post on the forums when we're not at work.

LFG tends to kill a community anyhow because people don't have to interact... they fall into bad habits learned in WoW (Where the PUG's tend to be dire and abusive a lot of the time). Whatever they do with the tool, I won't use it, I'll find a decent guild and run with them... if they haven't enough lvl 50's by the time I get there then I'll help my guildies level, end of problem!

It's really starting to become a problem when I read a decent post and the next one is something about how I have a lolFail guild, I am lazy, a ninja, or a terribly geared scrubnut... I should reroll, I'm a liar, a cheat, ect... I didn't try hard enough, I am afraid to lead groups.. please just stop... with all the nonsense... I don't need to justify myself and I would like to point out that all of that is just plain wrong and not true.
You are obviously a lying cheating terribly geared ninja scrubnut who needs to get out of his fail guild, lead a group and re-roll.


Seriously though. It sucks that you can't find groups but you are in the minority being at 50 this early. It was super easy for me to find groups from 1-49 and I am sure once all those people I was grouping with catch up I will be finding groups much easier at 50. You basically capped in 1 week (not counting EGA which most people didn't have). You have to expect to have slimmer pickings at cap when yu level so fast.

Good luck though. Think you just have to adjust how you think of it.
... Is it really that hard to understand?

Quoting again:

"I'm not dying to starvation so there's no need to send help to starving people in Africa"

What YOU are experiencing simply doesn't apply to everyone. It doesn't apply to every server. It doesn't apply to people who can't play on prime time because of their work schedules.

I'm happy for you (I really am) and I envy you that you have such an easy time forming a group, because I know I don't.

Not at all, read the last post I made and you'll know what I'm referring too. People constantly attacking me and my guild personally, if you assume I am referring to you as a troll that is your own prerogative, I never said anyone who disagrees with me is a troll, quite the opposite, only the ones spewing hate.

I am on a high population server, so I cannot speak out of experience in this game.

However I have been on low population servers in other MMO`s and from my experience in these games, low population servers (or low population factions) tend to get quite closely "knit" together. They have to help eachother out to get things done, and as such they often get a much better community-feel then the mastodont servers where it is a lot easier to get lost in the crowd.

Sure I can understand that low population servers might not have a lot of people on at the time you (or you, or you, or that guy) might be online, but instead of making the worst of things, why dont you try to make the best out of a situation? A small, tightly knit server is better then a huge one where you get lost in the masses. Use this to your advantage.

PUG's were bad long before LFG tools came around. Besides, in the case of WoW, I had a ton more fun after the LFG tool came out because I got to run more dungeons with less hassle than before. It's that simple.

It's also about when i feel the urge to play PvE content I do not have the option to do so, this pigeonholes me into PvP content.

I literally have to sit there doing nothing, driving around in circles while I look for PvE groups.... or Que Warzones and actually use my time playing the game. And personally I'd rather play the game than spend so much time trying to play the game.

I'd rather PLAY the game than TRY to play the game. :P

Warzones are always going to be a guarantee play session when they pop, PvE groups are literally a shot in the dark.

But why would you go through that tedious group-forming process when a tool can do just that for you WHILE you are questing/crafting/chatting/whatever?

You are free to wash your dishes by hand if you are having fun - I have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. To each his/her own. But don't force me into doing the same instead of actually letting me use the dishwasher, just because you have fun doing it your way.
