Give me a legitimate reason to NOT have a LFD tool.

Does that change the fact that there IS one face_hindu? Also PM me which faction and your character name I expect to collect.

There isn't a LFD now, so they don't lose anything when they add it in, because they just don't use it and continue as they do now (really,its that simple? Lol)

You guys DO knw there IS a LFG Tool in the game currently right?

I'm gonna ask you a simple question... What is the shortest path between 2 points in space?

Like? Keep going...

Isn't a LFD tool beneeficial to all of us? What's the point in making new FPs if people on low-pop servers cannot play them?

@OP

You say that the lack of social activities is what is hindering the creation of a good community but aren't hm runs and wz a form of social activity themselves?

True they are, but does it need to be the only social aspect of the game? Isn't it still possible to play with your friends/guildies?

Cross server content destroys any chance of creating a server based community for the sole and simple reason that you don't NEED the community to play anymore.

[COLOR="Red"]No, not really. At any rate giving us more social activites (pazaak, casino, cantina) would make people gather as specific locations/social hubs and ought to please most.

As I said, nothing stops you from playing with your friends and with social activites you'll be having a better time meeting new people. IMO FPs are not the best way to meet new friends anyway. I usually find new friends by doing the heroic missions on planets./COLOR]

I understand that there are people with limited schedules that can't afford to play a game as much so as to be absorbed in it's social part and that's who the LFD as a tool is referring to. But let's face it. These people where never part of the community anyway (through no fault of their own). They paid and keep paying the same amount of money as more intensive players do and they have a right to demand an LFD but that doesn't make the fact that LFD ruins it for some of us any different.

People who might only play 2 hours a day can still be a part of the community. It's not up to you to decide whether or not they'll interact with their surroundings. There can be several reasons to why someone doesn't have a lot of time to play, be it temporarily or always. For instance, I don't mind being 'active' in the community, but since I've just started on my education I simply don't have a lot of time in the week days. In the weekends, however, I have more time. Should I be denied having fun?

The social options you are suggesting will end up in the same place the game is now too: People will start with "CMON let's have Cross server nar shadaa casinos there is noone in my server that plays! CMON let's have cross server match up for the card game i cant find anyone to play with in the few hours i have availiable to play."

[COLOR="Red"]Pazaak is played vs 1 person and can be done in a short amount of time. It'll be easier to find people to play with oppose to finding 3 others, with specific classes.

All these claims are legitimate and honorable but that doesn't mean all of us have to like them.

The LFD tool caters the 2-3hours per day players in the expense of the 5-10 hours per day ones. This is a decision that's up to bioware and it's pretty obvious they are going with the first one. That's not a bad or a good thing. It just depends on which type you are.

How? Are you saying that 'hardcore' gamers are special and make up the bulk of the community? I hardly doubt that. The community are made up of all kinds of players and neglecting on part of it is just wrong.

Hardcore players can still 'socialize' through planetside heroics

TL;DR all cross server content works again the establishment of an active community and that affects the way ppl enjoy the game differently for every player.

To me it is absolutely pointless. I have a good guild and no shortage of people to join up with, in fact I might have too many.

Irrelevant to this discussion really. He asked for a legitimate reason why we should not have an LFD tool. I gave him one.
