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

Right back at you.

And you have yet to lay out any reasons, can you stop with the inflamatory posts? and start with logical ones? that's be a nice change of pace from the norm for you.

Figured I'd bump this in again as it was completely ignored. I didn't like the cross-server thing, but the rest was a very good suggestion to such a system.

Actually, I got sucked back into the forums... lol..

I hate to admit that, but it's true. *sigh*

Thanks, seems people would rather bicker over the problems than present solutions.

Except the answer to your problems is in the cards, and your failing to see the other side.

How bad was your friend? was it possible to complete the run? If not how shocked can you really be when people leave and do you actually expect same server people not to bail in such a case?

You're projecting here.

I've laid out many reasons. You just keep ingoring them so you can knock down the strawman arguments that you created in your head.

All this ranting about LFG.

1) It's coming. Accept that.
2) They've already stated they're looking into Cross-Server. So it's not like there is absolutely no chance of it being implemented. That's delusional.

So instead of ranting that they should never allow Cross-Server. How about discussing how it could be more appealing to everyone. The whole "I don't like it" doesn't work. The "it's the sole cause of gaming nerfing" or "it directly destroys community" are tired as well. So unless you can add something constructive to the discussion, besides that you hate it and it's a gamekillingdoomsdaydevice, why even bother posting? All of you people that love the game now and have no problem finding groups sure spend a lot of time here on the forums. Which is strange to me, only in the sense that I didn't even bother looking at the forums until I ran into the godawful wall of Spamming LFG for Hours, just to run Flash Points. When LFG comes, I'll disappear back into the game.

And really, since no one here has any direct effect on what is or isn't going to happen, what's with all the hate? I'm as big a #$%hole as the next guy and it even mystifies me.

Do I want a Cross-Server LFG tool? Sure do. Am I interested in a compromise that does not include it in anyway shape or form? Absolutely not. So anything arguing against it is just going to fall on deaf ears. But, if you want to offer productive solutions, without resorting to "It's for lazy, casual, bads, gimmes, whatevers", awesome lets hear it. Otherwise we can play this stonewall, fingers in our ears game too.

Edit: If you have already offered productive ideas, sorry I missed them amongst all the ragevomit.

Yeah, I have a feeling that is the entire purpose of this thread at this point. Argue just for the sake of arguing.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

I did something like that once. I wound up on his friends list, and wound up inviting him to raids (he turnout to be a pretty good tank).


Yes, you catch flack for that... because that's not what people are asking for.

I don't want an I win button.

I want to be able to do random pugs, because I like doing random pugs. I've done them since EQ. I especially liked being able to drag people through content they never though they could do. One of the perks of being a top-notch puller/CC (bard) in that game.

I want a full suite of cross server tools; I want to be able to play with random people and add them to my friends list. I want to be able to run flashpoints with friends (both RL and in game) who play on other servers. I want the battletag system that blizzard is working on as a start, with new, innovative features piled on top.

So your non-random same server grouping method doesn't meet what I'd prefer...

EDIT: I notice you're not even pretending to defend your "LFFP = nerfed content" point... I'll take that as an admission that you concede that this isn't the case.

cross server is a solution.

cross server with an option to search just your own is a solution.

Apparently putting forward solutions doesn't end the debate, turns out all we can do is argue for our own and wait and see which bioware goes with.
