To be fair, wow said there most successful feature ever was LFR the quarter b4 LFR wow lost 800k subs, after LFR they only lost 100k which was after their last content patch of an expack and a month after tor head start. The said it was there most competitive month since launch. So lfg and LFR good
What's up with the no LFG and LFR

It didn't kill WoW (it's still going strong with 10 million paying and active subscriptions, being the single most revenue generating piece of entertainment in the history, afaik) and it's not going to kill SWTOR.
Actually it's both. Putting it in will affect certain people. Not putting it in has already affected other people. The thing is, is it ok to just flip it like that? That's not for any of us to decide. BioWare would rather not do it, they've even stated as such.

When was LFD implemented again? Unless you are suggesting they wer above 12m at the start of WotLK, which they weren't.

Also which part of 'I'm not suggesting that LFD was the sole reason' wasn't clear?

Try again
Or if the sub loss would have been even higher without LFG tool? Who knows.

Well actually you would via cross server until 49.

I suggest that it helped. I know why I left WoW and that was the vitriol in LFD on patch day 4.3 which was the final straw, something that LFD in my opinion was part of the cause

Its not theirs to choose, if it brings/keeps more subs, it will get added.

Then you're a hypocrite and the reason the system fails (for some, certainly not my exp of it)

Grats, was that supposed to be for or against the tool?

LFG was introduced long before LFR. Also what you also dont include is was added along with the Dragonsoul tier. Not that that could of actually kept people from quitting (by having SOME CONTENT)

Do you have a link to the article that they say LFR was thier most successful feature ever?
If this game is so great then why do so many people that love the game spend all their time in the forums?

If the real majority agreed that it actually WAS a compromise they could live with (which won't happen - just my assumption) I will keep on playing but I will not play any group content at 50 at all - simply because my work schedule won't allow me to. I will definitely keep asking for a proper Cross-Server LFG-tool for level 50 Flashpoints though.

I will level all of my 8 characters on my server (which are all level 20+) to 50 and then play some PvP I guess. We'll see.
English is not my first language.
