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

No, the guy who ninja'd the ony mount ran pug raids pretty much every night, and he never had any significant problem getting people to join him. Same goes for the other couple of people who abused masterlooter to nab items. They just ran their own raids, and joined guilds, with no problems.

There were some guys on my server in EQ were scum, but they stayed in some of the top guilds on the server. Both Comps and EV had some real pieces of work (I had them train me, and KS a named on a number of occasions); they were the top 2 guilds on the server until Sol Invictus stole the march on them and beat them into Time during PoP; they stayed in the top 3 guilds until right before I left the game (where EV broke back up into the old elitists and vagrants as separate guilds).

No, there isn't any of that.

No, I've seen WAY too many people run character assassination attempts on people to trust anyone spamming general chat about how X did Y terrible deed.

has community been mentioned?

Lack of LFD tools means everyone will stand on the fleet and level 10 to 50 in one spot.. enough said.

It's simple: would you rather do the same endgame content over and over with random strangers or with friends who will chat and joke around? Just like your town has people you would never associate with it also has people who's company you genuinely enjoy and who make average experiences more fun.

The idea of community is that the time you spend in MMOland has the same social aspects as roaming the real world with friends.

that's a reason for you to not use one, not a reason for it not to be added to the game.

Yes, by you and has countless arguments against that been made? yes.

how about you catch up on the thread first eh?

Today, I took to the streets. I went on a server stated as Low (being especially low during that time of day since most people were working), but I had to see for myself how horrible you guys must have it.

Your arguments are complete, utter, illogically, blatantly obvious filled with bollocks, so much so I can still feel some after shock from discovering that you guys are talking ******** about the time it takes to find a group. I went on the fleet, trying to find a group for Hammer Station and guess what? It took me 3 minutes of whispering 7 people to get a group ready.

3. Freaking. Minutes.

If you have a hard time finding groups on your server: go to the who list, find people of equal level (or whatever is necessary to do the FP) and whisper them. Ask them kindly, like:

"Hey. Are you a tank, if so, would you be interested in doing Hammer Station?"

"Hey. My group needs a healer for Hammer Station, do you wish to come?"

"Hey. I have a group going for Hammer Station, wanna come and DPS?"

I got 1 tank, 2 healers and 1 DPS that turned me down, and they were polite about it. One of them even went:

"Sorry, I'm about to head out now. But, I can add you to my friends list and we can team up when I get back? Shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours until I'm home again "

Going around spamming "/1 LFG for Hammer Station, I'm DPS", without putting any more effort into it will of course leaving you to wait a loooong time. Put some time into it, and how much time? 3. Freaking. Minutes.

Stop being lazy folks. That is all.
