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

he doesn't have one. he is just one of those guys who determines his worth on his gear score and with an LFD tool, like happened in WoW, casual players like myself can get better gear scores. We still cant get the best if we dont do the non-lfd content, but we can get closer.

It was a matter of pride for guys like this when they could run heroics regularly and others could not.

I never pull this card - but they are just mad.

So what about this?

Step 1) Set yourself as LFG for whatever (heroics, FPS etc) and state your role and class (well the UI can just show your class).

Step 2a) Look at the list and pick people and invite them. Can send them tells before hand if you like.
or
Step 2b) Hit the random button and get 3 random people.

Step 3) kill stuff.

Note: A check box to show just your server or all servers on the list.

This seems to have options for everyone, yes?

probably.

Notice how he never did defend his "LFFP = content nerf" position either?

no not boycott the system just alot of them are guilded and can pick and choose who run with alot of time. This is just me experiencing this in both Tank/Healz in all three games.

I'm not some elitist jerk or gear hog, its just a certain group i like to play with. Alot of Tanks/Healers are impatient and if dps isnt high enough or the grp is just plain sorry they will quit grp.

Who is going to go on record and admit theyre too inadequate, for whatever reason, to find a group? No, they all pose as highly degree'd university professors, who, through no fault of their own, cannot find a group.

I believe in things like natural selection and being responsible for ones own experience in game. If you need a dev to come along and kiss it better for you because you can't, there is something wrong with you and even if it is something as mundane as a time issue, thats no ones fault but your own.

See, what no one is going to admit is the mass market narcissistic hedonist mmo player is just to weak to hold it down and needs to be guided by the nose through everything.

Yup from release day till a few week after Cata release!

It's not that I can't find a group. It's that it takes long enough to find these groups that it's not worth my time; Add in that if someone has a connection issue, or an emergency and has to log off, it's a major inconvenience.

With a cross server lffp, I expect I'll have queue times that are under 5 minutes (maybe even near instant, depending on my toon). I'll teach bad players how to be better ones. I'll deal with, /kick and /ignore a handful of jerks. I'll replace people that are kicked or have to leave in minutes.

bottom line: I'll have a renewed interest in doing flashpoints.

I was running heroics in guild for quite some time after that without nerfs, got a link to those claims?

Besides anything the hard content is still there, raids hard mode raids and here a level above. Nightmare mode.

That's what I don't understand about your argument, unless you just want an extra layer of gear between you and the un-washed masses?

All that changes is the volume of groups and what bioware does with that data is outside the scope of this thread.

You might want to talk to BW because it seems that what you just described is their target demo. You might be playing the wrong game if you expect a different experience.

you could have learned this in less than a minute.

Luck of the Draw buff was fixed(started being applied and increased the buff) with the release of patch 4.0.6 which was released Feb 8th 2011.

Cataclysm was released December 7th 2010.

Now I'm not math major, but december 7th to feb 8th seems like more than a few weeks.

It seems to be basically 2 full months. Perhaps I'm wrong though, feb does have less days than other months, and maybe it was a leap year.
