Dungeon Finder Needed Badly

Check my sig below.

I hated Dungeon Finder in WoW. That fact that it was so easy finding a group made people so uncommited; people just left at the most random times during an instance, and often a group would have consisted of 10 people before the end.

So initially, I was against the idea of a dungeon finder in SWToR. But after having spent so many frustrating hours during this week trying to find a group with no luck, and have simply skipped a number of FPs, I agree; SWToR needs a cross server dungeon finder.

Agreed.

Perhaps. But still, even with free transfers, there will be population imbalances. A cross server LFD will still be needed, for odd hours, people who have weird schedules, etc.
There are many profiles, which alone justify the more flexibility possible. There again, a same server LFD is too limited.

That's what I have been saying all along.
+1. We should copy and paste this.

You do realize the PvP queue system is same-server?

Brackets, and boosting system. Not comparable.

Your cons are non-issue. If you are always looking for that last role (most likely a tank or healer) then roll that class yourself!
The problem is not large guilds or the like...it is almost always people are rolling as DPS then wondering why they aren't finding groups. A smaller group size means you need MORE tanks/healers than ever before.

DPS are dime a dozen, play a role that has responsibilities and you'll never hurt for finding a group. As a tank I can simply say I am bored in general chat and have 6 group invite offers thrown my way within the first minute or two. This is assuming my guild doesn't need me.

DF creates a crappy community. If you are sitting for an hour then you need to be more sociable...you know actually talk to strangers and make friends?

Bleh.

1)To the "Kills Community", YOUR community is what you make it, and your definition of community does not apply to the rest of us. You want to go through the trouble of collecting friends with whom to run content. Keep doing it. The rest of us will use a RDF, thank you.

2)To the "It's for Lazy Self Centered Kids", really? And you coming here to tell us we're lazy, should learn how to play, and you have zero problem finding groups so why shouldn't we? My answer to that would just get this post flagged, so suffice it to say, these are your opinions, and they're lousy uninformed opinions at that. In my opinion.

3)To the "They better not put on in! Or I am quitting!". Guess what? They are putting one in, so go ahead and quit and let the rest of us get back to discussing the features we'd like to see implemented.

4)To the "NO to X-Server!" see 1.

5) If you had such a bad experience in WoW's RDF, then have you ever considered that YOU were the common factor there? The rest of us who had great times with the RDF are some how less "right" and should just shaddup? Meh. Go play Star Wars Legos or something.

6) Guilds should be absolutely, positively, 100% OPTIONAL. You wanna socialize and have a uber cool reputation on your server, do it with your Guild. Stop trying to dictate to the rest of us what options we can or cannot have, ESPECIALLY when it's already been announced that it's coming. That's just impotent raging. If a RDF effects your current game play so much, then there's something else wrong, not the MECHANIC that is OPTIONAL.

We are getting a RDF/LFG/LFFP/Whatever. Come to terms with that, get all your nerdrage out, then come back here and discuss with us what you'd like to see in the tool when it comes out.

Touchbass: How can I make friends if I can't get into a group to make them?
Nempo: Learn to be more social
Touchbass: How do I be more social if the game prevents me from being social? That's a catch 22
Nempo: Well .. ummm... /logout and trolls LFD forums

What will happen:

Nempo: Now that those losers are using the X-LFD who wants to group with me?
Fleet: *Crickets*
Touchbass: Guess you didn't have any friends to begin with, maybe you should actually talk to strangers and make friends?

In my experience with WoW I never had an issue grouping with people from other servers. Luckily the majority of the time I was grouped with people from my server, but occasionally there were times when I would get grouped with people of a specific server consistently.
Overall, I think that a cross-server Flashpoint Finder wouldn't be a bad thing because there is usually more than one person from each server in a group.
