So sense it would be negative for the people that dont want one, all of us should suffer? You dont make any sense, I dont know, if the game community is anything like the server community here, who cares if it gets destroyed.

So it's fine that people like it, but don't even try to say there's no negatives and that if you don't like it you can just not use it.

EDIT: This is similar to the "it's optional" argument for Dual Spec. Sure you want it and like it, no problem. You say if you don't just don't use it. Except the problem is many will come to EXPECT you to be using it and if you don't they exclude you. So both become much less "optional" than people like to claim.
No, the issue is that people want to dictate how other people play. If you and the other nay Sayers believe "most" people are like you and don't want lfd then you will have PLENTY of people to group with...the ones that want lfd will use it...it's their choice.

Look people IT IS COMING. Embrace it, love it, it will be your friend.

I never said a thing about the community. My point was not to say we shouldn't have it, nor that we SHOULD have it. My point was that people like to pull the "optional" argument for many things as if it meant there was no drawbacks, because it's optional you know, you don't have to use it. Except there ARE drawbacks.

And again, my views are actually neutral towards it, same with Dual spec. They go in fine, they don't, fine. But going around saying that because they are optional, that no one should have a problem with it or that there is no negative, is flawed.

As long as the unrepentant ninja looter ispanolfw doesn't use the x-server LFD, I'll be happy (won't have to worry about her noob looting!)

Almost forgot this little tidbit. The same is true of the other side. You say it's optional, knowing full well that some amount of people, many, not so many, who knows how many, will only use that tool. That removes those players from the pool those who do not wish to use it can play with. You may not see it or think it happens, but that's pretty much the same as dictating how people should play. It's more indirect for sure, but it does happen.

Nice in theory but it does not assist those who wish to find people on their server who are good players. Those who, when the chips are down don't lose their cool. You know... NEW PEOPLE. Why wouldn't I want to or like to expand my group of friends? You have any idea how many people add strangers they partied with to their friends list because they found out so much about how they play from parting with them? This is a lot harder to do if people just click away and end up in a party with a bunch of people they can't even communicate with at a later time.

I think this is what they mean by hurting the community.
