Seriously, within a few years, WoW will have less than 5 million subs because of this.
here is a reason
i played SWG for 2 hours. i am fan of Star Wars but canon movies only, never was that deep in wookiepedia.
i played WoW from day 0.

cross server LFD = death of server community. People stop to get known each other, focused only to play with friends they already know mostly, and yes the game goes SO MUCH gearcentric its a disaster.

I am wholeheartly oppose cross server LFD. If it is really needed, server merge is a way better solution.

intra-server lfd is fine, people are still accountable

People still pull crap towards people on the same server. Bad people are going to be bad regardless if its same server or cross server, try again please.

This is really no different at all from the current state, especially "People stop to get known each other, focused only to play with friends they already know mostly, and yes the game goes SO MUCH gearcentric its a disaster."

Not on The Jekk Jekk Tarr - heavy server, major problems finding groups.

2. Proper gear looting restrictions based on item level, queued role, spec, stats, type of armor, selected companion (yellow in Crew Skills) in case no one needs the gear and a companion could use it.
This. The main reason people are against a LFD tool us because of 'Ninja Looters'. If you get rid of this, you make everybody happy. BW please listen to this man!

There is no so called server community. People tend to stay with their friends in the first place. A vast majority of this games content is solo played. I constantly watch people clear quest mobs or quest activation without a care in the world of trying to get people in the same area together so you can do it as a team and don't have to wait for respawns. You can't kill something that doesn't exist in the first place.

There is no reason you will find "legitimate" enough, and suddenly change your mind, so why even bother creating another thread?

I can give you the reason i don't like it, and you can give reasons why you don't like my answers, and guess what? It still won't change my mind.

It has perhaps less to do with the tool itself, and more with the type of MMO this becoming, and the direction that the devs are taking it in. Not what i look for in my MMOs, so i will move on.

I will keep an eye on it, and if in the future, they perhaps stray from the cookie cutter MMO mold, i'll reconsider my interest in the game.

Simple as that for me.

edit: for clarity, i think this game should have a LFD tool, I don't like them personally, and don't really play MMOs that have them. But this is the typical AAA cookie cutter MMO, and if any MMO deserves a lfd, its this one.

A LFG tool is fine - but not a cross-server tool. I think everyone will agree with this. We're trying to prevent the community breakdown that comes with cross-server group play.
