Dungeon Finder Needed Badly

Well I know one thing for certain, if Bioware does decide to add a LFG tool which creates a party out of thin air for me then I will quit the day before they add it. I am having fun at the moment finding and meeting new people, it creates a more social atmosphere in searching and communicating with others. Yes there is the problem of not enough people interested in group things from time to time or there are people who are interested but they're on other planets, and that's why I believe that an LFG tool that allows to do a global search for people interested in heroics/flashpoints is vital. The current LFG system is extremely limiting as it only covers the planet you're on by default and isn't very effective and very few people use it. Half the players who use it only click on it rather than noting down their status and what they're LFG for.

I'd be ok with a same realm flashpoint finder but NO cross server!

I'd like Cross-server.

As it is right now, I have no issue finding a group to do things with. As you find others you like grouping with, put them on friends. The next time you want to fill a group, look at your list and see where those ppl are. If they're sitting on Fleet, ask them to join you. Groups fill for me in 5 minutes or less because I make the effort to find people I like grouping with and ASK them to go with me again.

Plenty of people do have issues finding groups, perhaps your method doesn't work consistently for everyone. Very happy you don't have a problem with it.

If they suck, put them on ignore and forget they exist.

People too lazy to do a minimum amount of work in an MMO do not need to be spoon-fed content with automated systems placing you in groups. If it's cross server, it's only a matter of time before you get the same douche bag experience you had in wow dungeon finder -- which is why I no longer play that game.

You get to decide who is lazy, who should get to experience content, based on what? If you had bad experiences in WoW, that was your experience. I and plenty of others had a very positive experience with the WoW RDF, why should your experiences dictate game-play here, more so than ours? Oh wait, it shouldn't.

Same server finder is fine imo. You'd still have the ability to find those same people to group with again later if you want (or ignore as you will...) and people would have at least some incentive to be team players instead of abusive jerks that comes from anonymous cross server finder systems.

If you have such a easy time finding groups from your friends list, this shouldn't be a problem for you. Especially considering the "RDF Turns People Into Evil Meanies" theory is akin to the full moon being responsible for werewolves.

and I remember people actually knowing who I was on the server and were happy to have me

I personally think that a non-cross server LFG tool is acceptable, because it maintains a sort of reputation for your characters on the server, but the moment they decide to make it cross server, I'm quitting. I've been down that path before with WoW and it wasn't pretty. To me, all it seemed to lead to was impatient people who couldn't care less about their group and all they could think was "Gear, gear, gear, gear, gear".
I played WoW long before the implementation of the LFG tool, and I remember people actually knowing who I was on the server and were happy to have me as a healer and stuff. Then along came LFG and everyone faded into anonymity. Some may like this, I'm just saying that I do not.

Anyway, that's my two-cents, luv y'all and have fun <3

This is a MMO. Your friends list should be your LFG system. When it becomes a LFG system that is multiserver with people you will never see again then all social aspects of the game are broken.

I for one shudder at the disappointment which will happen to me once LFG comes to swtor. My $ will go elsewhere.
