Honestly, I mainly like watching the cutscenes in flashpoints because it gives me time to smoke a couple bowls. (!)

As someone else said ..the changes came long before LFD ..and people were already leaving because of it.

Thus my point that the changes did more to Hurt WoW than the LFD tool did.

Perhaps. It could also of been done as a precursor to the LFG. We'll never know.

Spoiler alert: that was then, this is now and now (ie; the 21st century) people want convenience. I'm willing to bet none of the nay-sayers grow their own vegetables or butcher their own meat. Why? Because it's frankly too damned inconvenient. Join the rest of us in the 21st century and embrace a LFD tool. And if you don't want to use it? News flash: you don't have to.

LFD tools are the way it is now. The vast majority of us dont want another job - we want a game.
You couldn't be more wrong; not only is it true that there used to be a greater sense of community, but your very premise is the foundation for repeated awful releases.

He's suggesting that a strong community can survive it.

Obviously it will be implemented because it's a valuable tool for uber-casuals/noobs, and TOR is 100% targeted towards uber-casuals/noobs.

That's possible; hard to tell, seeing as the WoW live team never lived up to the bar set by it's alpha/beta team, outside of raiding.

Know what I find funny? Most of the so called nay-sayers are not against a fully automated tool. They are against a cross server one. The pro group is quick to jump and say it didn't work in WoW so don't bother. Who knows you implement a server only in SW:TOR and it works fine. I think jumping the gun to a cross server is premature.

That sounds like more of a low pop server issue than a grouping issue.

If there is all these people spamming LFG how come none of them are grouping up?

I do not see how you come to the forums and say you spent 2 hours lfg and didn't accept any of the groups being spammed in chat.

If no one is spamming then maybe most aren't looking for group because the following.

They prefer to play solo.

They are in a guild and run group content with a guild.


I picture all the pro LFG people standing in a room saying they wish they had people to do stuff with and then they all leave by themselves.

Indeed. I'm not saying that the current LFG system doesn't need work, I just mean that fixing low-population servers (maybe merging is a good idea), global LFG chat channel etc. would be a better option than going straight into an automated system that does the grouping for you.
