A cross server tool is the continuity and the solution for them. link? also, they have already done this because i can get groups without a LFG cross server tool right now during my normal playtimes, which is usually in the middle of the night - there is no social games. Social Interaction Main article: Social Interaction via MMORPGs MMORPGs almost always have tools to facilitate communication between players. Many MMORPGs offer support for in-game guilds or clans (though these will usually form whether the game supports them or not). In addition, most MMOs require some degree of teamwork for parts of the game. These tasks usually require players to take on roles in the group, such as those protecting other players from damage (called tanking), "healing" damage done to other players or damaging enemies. MMORPGs generally have Game Moderators or Game Masters (frequently abbreviated to GM), who may be paid employees or unpaid volunteers who attempt to supervise the world. Some GMs may have additional access to features and information related to the game that are not available to other players and roles. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive...e-playing_game you play MMOS and you think there are no social games? really? - there is no community efforts required outside of group PvE content. this statement proves that you have no idea what a community is. - stop trolling. you don't know what you are talking about. this troll deserves a 2/10.

And I don't necessarily agree with the second half either, but it's as close to a "legitimate" reason as I've seen. (my point) So yeah, giving players the choice seems the most prudent course of action.

Are you going to go to EVERY single planet and spam it there as well to try to get the word out? Ask people to do it? No one cares what happened to YOUR group. Give me a break people. You dont like the idea of a LFD? Dont use it, spam for LFG like you are now. Your problem IS NOT that there may be a LFD tool, YOUR problem is that Bioware made a Single player RPG with online capabilites and not a full fledged MMORPG. Enjoy your instanced zones that rarely ever have a decent amount of people in them and stop trying to limit those that are trying to get around that design and pretend this is a normal MMO by finding groups easier. people already do. just because you dont doesnt mean its not happening.

Alright how about this for a reason. We'll drop all the 'breaks community' as we've established that is something people value quite differently etc. The trouble with a LFD tool for me is that it actually doesnt solve anything. Really it doesnt. People want to say 'Atleast I can do other stuff while in que instead of being on the fleet' but we all know you'll end up being in que on the fleet anyways. But anyways its not a super solution to fix it all. As I understand it people 'casual' people, people with 'real lives' etc want a tool because they dont want to spend time looking for a group in the fleet in the general channels. Because they dont have much time to play. As some guy some posts before this wrote he only has a hour, hour and a half tops to play after some school or whatnot. And the doesnt want to spend 40min + looking for a group. Alright I get that. I'm asuming this is from a dps point of view yea? Even so lets nail it down. Without a system. "Spam" channels. Dps - 30-40min or so for a group right? Tank - 5 min or so? We all love the tanks right Healer - 5-10 min about right? We cant after all go without a healer. With a LFD system. Dps - 30-40 min or so right? Because now whats happened is the game is spamming 'DPS LFG FP HM Whichever' for us in a channel we cant see. Tank - 5 min or so probably less even. Healer - Same as tank maybe 5min + since usually there's more healers then tanks. What did it solve? Nothing. But oh wait! Make it Cross Realm! Thats solves it right?? Because then we have a bigger pool of players which means more healers and tanks! With a LFD Cross Realm system. Dps - 30-40 min Tank - 5 min Healer - 5 min. Yey ! Cross realm LFD system finally ... Wait a minute? Still sucky que's hows that possible? We made a group of 4 ( 4!!! ) realms that MUST mean there are more tanks and healers ... Oh wait ofcourse there's more dps as well .... If you dont believe me? Go search the Wow and Rift forums. Exactly what happened. First same server LFD tool. Then cross servers. And there's still whine about que times. So yea that's why I dont like it. I am not gonna mention the community things yet again but I find it breaks stuff without fixing the things it's supposed to fix ...
I'm not evil, just different.
