i always laugh at these people who say this ...

break comunity lol ...break social aspect ... lmaoLOL

gtf o dude , .. hows spamming in general chat for 30 minutes ... like : ..

Looking for 1 healer and 1 dps for FP ... LFM 1 healer , LFM 1 HEALER ! , LFM 1 healer x 100 ..

hows that social ?? ...

the fact remains , most of us just wanna play this game and not waste time 30 mins - hour , spamming the same message over and over ....

dunno how thats being called social ... sriously it's just a lame excuse , and not even vial
dude.

I think what is meant by the social aspect is grouping with the people on your server, as opposed to people you will probably never group with again, not spamming general.

a lfg que for single server would easily fix the spam.

There have been countless threads started by people trying to whine about the tool on the WoW forums, and they are consistently an avalanche of responses from people that have good experiences that bury the whine.
Provide this proof.

If lfg spam bugs people so much then the issue is with them.

I do not see how someone posting lfg would illicit any emotion from anyone other then "yay, there is a group getting together for what I want to do."

MMORPG is a nich genre. People who actually like mmos are desperate for a real mmo. Imagine being a punk rock fan and ever since Green Day got popular, all you have to listen to is bands that sound just like Green Day. Its like that.

It's when access to group oriented play is restricted by unnecessary roadblocks that game play gets dumbed down. Designers have to keep making group oriented content for players that have never learned, or are slowly learning, how to play group oriented content. It's novice content forever.
How does replacing an organic experience in the game world with a fixed one screen menu/lobby system that you just teleport in and out of without ever seeing / speaking to another individual NOT dumb the game down?

It's not a big win for casuals. It is a big win for everyone. Even people crying about these things will use the tools and it will make the game better for everyone.

I will NOT use Dual Spec and if i am forced to use it in order to be equal I will quit.

I will NOT use a xsvr LFD.

Don't tell me MMORPGs are a niche genre when games like WoW and Rift are still attracting millions of players. And no matter what you say, SWTOR is an MMORPG. It may nor fit your specific definition and standards, but:

Massive: Check.
Multiplayer: Check.
Online: Check.
RPG: Check.

Sounds right to me.
Pentium Pro 150 MHz
Verite 2100 64-bit

Actually it wont. The issue of not alot of groups doesn't soley rest with no LFG tool.

There is also the issue that there is absolutely no reason to do any group content till you hit 50.

And even then you can skip groups and go into raids if you do dailies and get orange gear and or pvp.
