Dungeon Finder Needed Badly

Prior to the LFD tool in "that other game", the server's tanks and healers had reputations[/COLOR]. You knew who the good tanks were. You knew the names of the good healers. And, you knew who to steer clear of. I found that the concept of server-wide reputations seemed to disappear not long after the LFD tool was implemented. Sure, you still knew a few folks that you would trust to tank or heal for your raid group, but it was far less pronounced than before.

Anywho, I'm sure that BW will implement some form of LFD for flashpoints eventually. Will I use it? Yeah, probably. At least, I'll use it until I'm sick of running flashpoints and end up running in circles around Fleet waiting for the next Op. Sounds very familiar to me.

These things do come at a cost to the server community. Will that matter to impatient kids? No, it won't.

We have a dungeon finder LFG tool. It works just fine . Problem is most of the player base are too ignorant or simply would rather whine about something than to use it. If people would simply type /who and fill in the blanks it would work great. Or better yet simply click on the location icon right above your chat box. As to why people don't use this most awesome feature is beyond me. I don't think most people even knows about it, Good gravey people take a second or two to slow down and smell the roses. There is also a game option panel with all sorts of cool things and sadly they prob don't even know what options are either...Sheesh....!

I sort of feel like anti-LFD are corporate stiffs who think unions aren't neccessary because they pay an incremental bit above minimal wage.

Low population servers and playing at odd hours. Both of which are fixed with cross-server LFD.

I'm basically against having a dungeon finder. At least, I'm against a cross-server dungeon finder.

I found that, yes, I could do a far higher number of instances when that particular tool was available; however, it wasn't long before the last thing I wanted to do was another instance with some random folks. Not to mention that my ignore list was becoming cluttered with toons from different servers to the point that it had become full. The attitude that you encounter generally conforms to, "Hey, I'll never see you again, so I'll take whatever loot I want or drop group on the first boss when he fails to drop my item."
