Interacting with humans in such a way is how our voluntary society came about. Most people wouldn't like it if some matchmaker randomly assigned them teammates (whether that be in marriage, at a job, or wherever) so why that has to be the norm on an MMORPG confuses me.
Because it is a game and not real life.

I still dont know how spamming general chat to make a group for hours is community building?

Apparently you haven't played SWTOR. There are currently 4 locations that exist in the game for level 50 characters:

- Sat in Fleet trying to gather people together in general chat because there isn't a proper grouping tool that would allow them to leave Fleet while their group forms

- Sat in Fleet queueing for WZs to farm PvP gear, because it's easier to form an 8 man WZ group to gear up than it is to form a 4 man HM FP group.

- Sat in Illum farming Valor while queueing for WZs to farm PvP gear

- Actually in a dungeon, accessed from a portal in Fleet, because all the instances are located in Fleet anyway so there's no reason to travel anywhere in the world. Making complaints about the idea of being teleported to the dungeon by a LFG tool hilariously pointless.

Oh, that's 3. My Bad.

I thought that is what my 15 dollars a month was for, after the initial $80 so I can beta test a game.
What's up with the no LFG and LFR

At level 50, FP and Ops can be asked in one of a couple places, Fleet or Ilum. At level 50, finding a HM FP and ops is easy to do in both places. People are constantly trying to do dailies.


Destroyed my arguments? Hardly. Now you just look like a noob who hasn't played the game at all.
You sir just opened a can on him. Epic!

WoW's community has been a cesspool for a lot longer time than the LFD has been around. It may have exacerbated the problem, but it is not the cause of it.

A LFD will not help this game due to it not really being a group heavy game .


Most people will solo in this game all the way to 50 and by then be in a guild to do the raids/Fp


the game has a basic LFG tool already most dont even know about it becasue there busy soloing though the quests/misions


i base these comments on the fact that even on the imp heavy fleet of over 200 players sometimes 1. there are only about 2 to 4 people using the lfg tag . 2.people spam the chat looking for groups yet none are made hence the spaming of the same people in chat.


like in many of my posts its both the games fault and players fault for this issue .

a LFD will not slove a game where the main focus in soloing becasue its easy and you can do it to level 50 in most if not all cases.

FYI i have done some of the FP the frist two on both sides is a good one after that they sorta suck that could also be a factor when FP suck and solo quests are better.

When BW spent all that money on the voice acting, you would think that they would make sure that we were out experiencing it and not sitting in ORG waiting for the next queue to pop.
This about sums up the ignorance of the naysayers.

Aren't flashpoints content too? Get it through your thick heads some servers are so pathetic they only have 50 people max at the fleet during prime playing hours. And I play on a HEAVY server. I can't imagine how long the wait is for players on MEDIUM or LOW. I'm sorry but some people prefer to not spam in chat for hours to form a group.

If you're against the LFD tool, just don't ****** use it.
