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

Instead of going to a country western bar, would you go to every jazz club in town and demand they add country western venues? Thats really more of whats happening.

I heard a new argument today - that lfg "inherently nerfs" content.


This is so silly it doesnt really deserve a response but I will state the obvious.

The content is not being nerfed. More people are getting geared to do content. This is just typical of hardcore players who want to have higher gear scores and are judging their self-worth in comparison to other peoples gear score. It's childish.

I made the statement that I'm casual. In the past I refrained from doing many dungeons/raids because as a single father I am often not able to commit to being online at certain times or being able to commit to a total amount of time online. I'm also on-call quite a bit and have other obligations.

I refrained from grouping out of respect for other players and their time.

In just a regular group server if I get a call from work, or the little one wakes up and I need to devote my time to that, I am holding up the group and potentially ruining the entire run. If I have to go on a server group it isn't simple to pick someone else up.

The same guy who stated the above suggested I "do research" on the forums and find people who play the same time I do. It is clear he is a youngster with no real life responsibilities. I don't hold that against him but a statement like that just doesn't make sense and shows willful ignorance.

When the WoW LFG tool was implemented I was able to do dungeons. No, in reply to a response he made, I do not feel like as much of a d bag when I leave a lfg group simply because it does not ruin the entire dungeon for the group. They simply re-queue and find another player, fairly quickly, who is ready to play.

If you willfully ignore the advantages of quickly being able to pick up someone quickly in your dungeon group when a player drops - thats a you problem not a lfg problem. Since you don't seem to have an issue with it I suggest if an lfg group is not implemented that this guy lets me join his groups every single time. See how pissy he gets when I have to leave half way through a raid or a dungeon and they have to stop and take 30 minutes or however long to find another person to fill the slot.

Content gets nerfed all the time...

Nah but a lfg tool doesnt have to teleport you to the instance or to be cross server.

I think just a simple tool that help you find group/match you in a group would be alright for most of the player.

I have a life -- wife and kids and real-life friends -- and a job. I don't have the time it takes to sit in front of my computer for hours on end trying to find and/or put together a group.

Well we could very well say show us your facts that it DOESN'T exactly what we say it has been. Facts work both ways otherwise this pointless conversation will just keep going.

As for facts, just look at the numbers for WoW before, and after the LFD system was put into the game. They had a strong 11 million, heading for 12 before it was introduced and things have slowly ebbed away to 10 million. You talk about no facts to support our argument yet some of us have first hand knowledge of what that game in particular has become.

Care to show us your facts? Or are you simply trying to dru the same old lack of facts argument when you have none of your own.

If you need recognition for your Star Wars playing ability, create a leaderboard.

I'm yet to read any reason why people seem to have a problem or hate the auto-teleport. It's already done in PvP, so why the hate on PvE?

LFR was a band aid solution to a problem THEY CAUSED whent they limited raid lockouts to 1 per week. Don't pretend like their gaming gurus sitting on a cloud predicting the future. They make mistakes and they fix them. Same for every developer.

Why are you telling me? Try telling the person you were responding to the first time.


And without the red text. It makes you seem ranty and upset.
