I like knowing who to guard, who to avoid, who are the good guys/guilds, who are the stupid afk'ers, and so on.

Don't be naive. The communities on these servers are struggling enough as it is. With cross server warzones you will leave NO accountability between peers, whereas currently I can occasionally convince my teammates to not farm our own faction in huttball.

Cross server warzones = I couldn't give two ***** about farming my own faction for valor, and there's no doubt in my mind I won't have any reason but to farm medals without caring about objectives. With no one on from my server to even recognize and judge my arrogance / selfishness, why would I do anything other than promote my own well being at the expense of others?

Cross server warzones was a tool used by Blizzard to keep subscribers, whom had already submitted to the fact that inter-server communities had died, on their bankroll. If you do not understand that, then you really have not taken a step back to look at how things actually work.

With the sizes of these servers currently, and the lack of a strong community at this point in the game, cross server pvp would take away the already weening online accountability which some people try to stand for.

But hell, if you want this game to be free to play in under a year, fine by me.

Cross server queuing sounds pretty cool. The idea that playing with humans other than the ones that happened to click the same line you did is somehow destroying the community you spend most of your time ignoring already, is a bit funny.
Something pretentious.

Right... because you seem to only like S(ingle)P(layer)ORPGs, rather than the rest of us, who actually enjoy the fact that other real people are playing this game, too.

Once x-server warzones are added any kind of server community will dissolve especially the pvp community.

Yes I realize you can set a preference to only play with those on the same server but: 'but those players who choose specific preferences such as these will likely end up in a match with players in the larger Wargroup'

So BW wants you to play with others from your server if you are a premade but if you still haven't made some friends on your server you have to x-server que where you will continue to not make any friends. What is everyone's thoughts on this? I remember when they added this feature to WoW and it was great that the que times dropped so much but suddenly I didn't know anyone I was playing with. And in less than a month I think the community was completely dead so I'm really not looking forward to this addition.
should of started with it imo, unless they fix the faction imbalance, which is impossible btw, there will be a need for it

Thank god BW is finally showing some common sense and disregarding loonies like the OP. People like that would rather ruin the game for people who had the misfortune to roll on low pop servers so they can play the same people over and over. Talk about selfishness.

You don't even define what community is nor do you bother to explain how this one facet of the game amounts to the demise of community.

I might take these self indulgent threads more seriously if people could actually articulate what is wrong with this feature as it relates to pvp beyond just saying they're bad.
I bet you're one of those people who thinks he's part of his server's community but only talks to people from his guild and ignores everyone else.

Why should low pop PvP servers ruin it for everyone else? There's a whole lot more of us on the non-low-pop servers.

Most people rolled empire because they wanted to play classes/stories on that side more than republic characters. I sure didn't roll imperial because I wanted to be on the side with the most players, I rolled empire because I couldn't play a BH on pub side. No one deserves long boring waits for Q's. Try not to be so much of an ---Clown next time.

Hey NOOBs crying about community go join a PvE server.
You...do know this affects PvE servers too, right? Right?

Not responding to the rest of that grammatical nightmare.
