When can we expect LFG?

Pro-tip:

Either:

1) As soon as you pick up a Heroic, throw up a LFG and keep doing your own thing. As 'important' as everyone says they are while leveling, you can probably go to the GTN and buy better gear that what you'd get from the Heroic anyway. I wouldn't get hung up on them

2) Join a guild. If I pugged hard modes every day I would probably put an ax through my TV and set my computer on fire. Guild runs are much smoother and a decent guild will use Vent which makes them cake.

If LFG comes, it will most likely be server specifc and if will more than likely be in an expansion. Right now it really isn't necessary.

I love how I respond to you with substance and you just say in more-or-less words "keep on hating."

Why not level with me and YOURSELF and admit that I'm not in the minority.

Let me explain how this works to you. If the forums are full of complaints, it's because there is reason for it. Now, you may counter that and say "but only a small few visit the forums!" Very observant and true of you. However, those same people who are NOT bothering to post are STILL playing the same game.. and experiencing the same problems and may just unsubscribe and not post about it.

The forums are an extremely good indication of how the playerbase as a whole feels. Why else would random developers put polls up on the forums about new features.. IE: the new UI being released and them releasing a poll about how we feel about it.

See where I'm coming from?

Blizzard isn't doing a whole lot to promote the game, lots of people leaving are people who've been playing the game for 3+ years. Seriously, after that amount of time playing the same crap over and over and over and over and over, it gets old and stale. The fact that the game has consistently had more than 10,000,000 subscribers for more than 3 years is beyond amazing.

Nope. That's wrong. Forums represent players that are bored and want to complain. Not the majority of the player base. The amount of people that post on here is literally a sliver of a percentage of active players. That is why the devs take everything said on here with a big grain of salt. And don't forget, you pay to play BioWare's game. Not your game.

Pro-Tip:

The people who I've played with for years and I in WoW all came to SWTOR and only 3 of us stayed in the guild. So, now I have to look for complete strangers and develop new relationships. Not a problem, but not ideal, either.

They havent been promoting the game? You mean the chuck norris and the Mr T and the 20 other high profile celebs that are making comericals for the game isnt promoting the game. You are full of it.

Why have they been leaving the game? Its because the casuals have invaded and that started adding in all the casual friendly tools like LFG that destroys the community of the game and makes it a Me Myself and Only me MMO.

Now the well its a suprise WoW has 10+ million players and it was bound to lose players. Right but I bet if you go onto their fotums there will be casuals saying that the game is gaining subs and that the pandas are gonna bring in even more. Its not how old the game is but the dirrection the game is headed that is causing the decline is subs. The exact same reason that WoW is losing subs is exactly what Bioware is looking to add into the game.

No. That's wrong.

We pay the bills for BioWare and their game. If their investors want to see a return, they need to please us entirely.

They wouldn't post polls on the forums asking about features if they didn't want to hear what the community thought about it. We MAY BE A SLIVER of the playerbase POSTING, but we're ALL PLAYING THE SAME GAME. People who don't post about stuff will still get as aggravated as the rest of us over no LFR, or broken graphics, or broken Ilum, or broken PVP. They'll just unsubscribe and that'll be the end of them.
