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.
Quite simple actually. You dont have a dishwasher, do you? You obviously cant queue up for a dungeon can you? Just because you're too lazy to find a group, doesnt mean the game is broken.

Not at all man, people are hitting 50 on their alts now. It doesn't take long at all.

Completely opposite experience leveling.

Heroic quest groups were plentiful, yes. Flashpoint groups were not. Nobody (except beta players) knew where they were, what the level range was or how to get to them, and very few players seemed to want to stop questing to go sit on the fleet and LFG.

I STILL haven't seen Collocoid War Game or Red Reaper and I probably wont unless they implement hardmodes for them.

Really? I dont remember getting booted by a vote-kick system because my group wanted to bring a guildy in for the last boss' loot. Less hassle my ***.

I dont actually think you mean you had more fun, I think what you mean is "I'm Generation Instant-Gratification, and I got moar done w/a LFG tool"

3. Why would you hate someone for looking for a group that way? How is that lazy? He gives you all the information you need without bloating up the chat or giving unnecessary information.
1. take them with you? not that hard tbh, just sayin.

2. are you kidding me? you really mean that? leveling as healer tank is the easiest way to get groups while leveling, is that a troll?

3. because that doesn't tell people anything lets be honest, saying something more like 50 BH merc or something would be better... give people an idea, or what FP's you wanna do, or start your own instances.. to many times do i see people spam it for 10 mins while i watch others trying to get a group together and they don't cotton on. not saying that's yourself but u need to get out there, and as others say use /who.

admitedly form half the posts in here i'm not sure what people are complaining about, if it's that boring find something to do from the list i mentioned or just leave... if you want to corer yourself by staying in a small guild then don't complain it's hard to find groups when it really isn't... many people have no issues at all, maybe try a different server?


on the flip side, i completely agree a LFG tool would be great and make it easier...

Yeah. Accuse me of being lazy. You're a real winner there, friend.

I'm lazy because I don't want to spend my free time standing around doing nothing but looking for people to play with withing a video game? What are you even talking about?

I will have a dishwasher sooner or later - whether you like it or not. And I will use that dishwasher - because my little free time is actually worth something.

Yes, this is what I'm trying to drive home, it would be better for the community to actually be doing things instead of waiting around to do things.

Ok new suggestion. Roll an alt?

Even with a better LFG tool there simply might not be people online at the same time. People might have other objectives in mind. It sucks not being able to do content trust me I play republic. There are options though. It might not be a good option in your mind to play through all the story quests, all the companion quests and all the crafting but it's there.

Being able to expedite the formation of a flashpoint group helps to off-set the costs of getting yourself stuck in a group where you have one or two people who are clueless, and causing the group to fail. Who wants to spend 20 to 45 mins searching for a group, only to get in and find out your guardian tank has been stacking wisdom and cunning? Simply drop group, and re-queue yourself. Right now that feeling is painful. Granted it pays to examine everyone beforehand but some people are still inept even if they appear to be geared properly.

Also like another poster has said, sometimes it takes a while to find a group, which means essentially you're sitting doing nothing. That's not fun. At least with a LFG tool you can queue up and go do daily quests while you wait. I don't consider spamming trade chat or any other chat channel compelling game play.

One other thing, this argument isn't just for level 50 players who want to do hard modes, this tool will be for people leveling up as well.

Did you read my posts? I clearly stated I was also looking forward to a LFG tool. However, it takes me no more than 5mins to set a group up using the LFG tool in game atm. Yes, yes in fact I am a winner... much more so than you. Clearly, I get to run boatloads more flashpoints.

Personal attacks, I should write a post like the OP. In reality, you're upset because its the truth. You stated you don't like taking "X" time, to group up to do "Y" flashpoint. You want "A" for less "B" then it requires to attain. Plain and simple, thats called BEING LAZY!
