Same. Except that for me it's only 3 days remaining.

You would had run off to the Panda´s anyways dude, so please be honest and dont say you are would had payed money to BW forever just because of LFD.

Those that like wow will always go back, no matter what BW would copy - wow is your game

They are better off to make those that left wow for a reason like LFD, Addons etc. happy, as they are what you call loyal customers.

If a tool is added, I really hope it just makes finding people to group with easier, but doesn't turn into the anti-social grind-o-matic those other games have. Anything that further trivializes the social aspects of the game isn't a good thing.

IMO it is incredibly frustrating making your way to the fleet to meet up with a group to do a FP, especially when you are in a questing area. I have denied guild invites purely because of the time that it would take to get to the fleet when my fleetpass is on CD along with quick-travel.

I don't like holding up a group, I used to always say (I'll be right there) frequently by the time I get there, someone has to log, or they are just gonna do this 1 quest real quick in the meantime. Then we're waiting on them, most times we end up quitting group with tenative plans------Maybe Later.

If there was a proper Q system, you'd be able to form a group from all shards/worlds and yes, insta-port to the inst. I agree that the game should be challenging, I just do not find huge travel times to be challenging in the way I'd like. Sometimes travel to the fleet can be quick and fairly painless, however as a player that tends to use the fleetpass every 18 hrs, it takes considerably longer.

So, yeah, I support the CROSS-SERVER LFG 100% for soo many reasons, I'd rather play in an environment that is not encumbered by limitations, and who's on right now.

This is exactly how i feel but couldn't come up with the words to express it

I would even be in support of cross-server heroics... It's basically pointless to spam general chat in search of a group while you're leveling up.. I mainly skip every heroic I come across and apparently so does everyone else because I can never find groups for them..

But.. I would be happy with cross server flashpoints..

I'm not going "back to WoW". That game isn't the only one with LFG tools that work, and more games are coming out soon that are making sure they have functioning LFG tools in place at release.

As I have stated numerous times, I only have so much time a day to participate in my hobby. A huge part of enjoying that hobby is getting in groups with others to do content designed for groups. I'm not paying to have that precious time wasted (sometimes my entire allotted time for that day) having to stand around Fleet and spam a LFG message every time I want to do group content.

So everyone who left WoW did so because they didn't like cross server LFD and/or addons?

That being said, our design team doesn't philosophically believe that cross-server Flashpoints are good for the game at this stage in the game's lifespan. There is huge social pressure to not be a jerk that goes away when the odds that you will never see these people again is high. I'm not saying never - there may come a time in the future where we reevaluate this - but at least in the short term, we believe this will cause more damage to the community than good.
************************************************** ************************


How much more damage could cross server LFG cause the community on my server?

I'd say none, there is no community, my server is dead, you can try for hours to get a group and not get one, I'd say the piss poor choice to not have a cross server LFG is doing more harm than some guy telling another player they suck.

I have big shoulders, I can take it when someone insults me if I do something stupid.

Man I dont care about a cross-server LFG, I will be happy with a server LFG. Sucks to be all the time just questing and passing all the FPs because lack of ppl. we NEED a LFG Tool. is retarded that we have only a pvp tool. the actual system is broken, we need a new one asap. im thinking also to quit paying until we have a LFG tool.

Yes! I vote for a dungeon finder.
Give us options so we can choose whether we're willing to team up with people from other servers or not.
I don't mind waiting longer as long as I can do whatever the hell I want meanwhile.
Yo momma's so stupid, she spent all day saying 'am not' to R2!

The unfortunate thing about all this is that these designers apparently have no idea about the history of the genre, and how design teams have consistently gotten themselves and their games in dire straights when game designers start trying to be amateur gamer sociologists. Especially when they very clearly don't have the gaming experiences to base any of that amateur gamer sociology on.
