Frankly they are the only ones that can judge if its a success or not because they have cold hard numbers to show its success. They collect the in game numbers that players personal experiences can not counter. Numbers are un biased and show the truth.
One could and should say the same thing about these forums. However, I could also say 50 cent has been a great success. Does not make it good music or good art. Does not make it wise to listen to it either. Cross realm flash points are fine. I'd just rather not see them be used for HM flash points or raids.

This topic is like religion vs agnosticism, nature vs nurture, pro-life vs abortion, etc..

People who are on one side of the fence are not going to change the way people on the other side think about this topic.

Period.

Now it is just a thread of people loving to argue with one another.

Its also an our problem due to these types of people now having impunity, they can just require and find a new group to screw over.

At this point I'll take a random douche now and then so I can actually *GASP* find a damned group. Period.

One of the few salient arguments against it is that it doesn't really address the main reason people are having trouble finding groups. Low population servers should be merged or migrated. LFD covers this up, it has for years in warcraft. It would be similar to giving pain medication to a cancer patient and then declaring the cancer has been cured.

Mean people exist with or without a LFG, with or without a MMO. If it's such a horrible thought, then continue grouping with your Guild/Friends lists.


2) you can't invite people from other servers to raids/guilds. This means if you find really great people in these groups, you can't group up with them later. Alernately, since you are grouping using x server lfg, you aren't recruiting new people to your guild.

Server Transfers.

You can use the argument "you can opt to not use it" all you want; but it will be used by the majority, and you will find yourself laughed out of chat channels and told to use the tool.

Then guess the majority likes it then.

All of this has happened before and will happen again. The day this is instituted is the day I quit swtor. I love the game, I can deal with its shortcomings, I have 3 level 50s, all running hms and ops. X server lfg would kill this game and all my desire to play it.[

Thanks for playing.
Can't wait for a LFG tool. X-server would just be gravy.

/Ignore, problem solved. Never has a #$%hole or a ninja ruined my day for any significant amount of time.
