Dungeon Finder Needed Badly

My problem with a cross-server LFD tool is that it inspires the type of immature and arrogant behaviour found often in gamers when given the anonymity of likely never seeing that player group again.

Whereas if you're in a group with people from your own server, you're more inclined to be friendly and polite so as to get future groups.

So, the solution for You is pretty easy if there was a cross-server LFG tool build in. Don't use it! Leave it to us, immature and arrogant players. There are many types of players in game and this game is for everyone, not just the polite ones. I just want to say that You can't judge a quality of a feature by types of players that are using it.

Has it occured to any of you LFG people that an LFG would hurt guilds??

Why you ask?? You don't need a guild to find a group for flashpoints or operations.. Any single player can use an LFG system and run what ever they want when ever they want.. It basically turns this game from an MMO to a MSO.. Massive Single player Online game..

So in my opinion, the LFG system should either be nonexistance or work on an extremly limited capacity.. There has to be a need for guilds..
I disagree. Guilds are for raids not small man content anyways.

Sure you can get into a dungeon quick enough, but be prepared to have idiots linking DPS meters after every trash pull, shouting at someone for doing 2k less damage than them, being impatient and pulling mobs whilst the Tank or Healer rests up, ninja-ing loot or the Tank dropping out as soon as they have the gear they want or discovering it's not the dungeon they want.
Over exaggeration.
I have ran thousands of cross server runs in multi games with the cross server system. It is very rare to get a bad group.
Once again maybe the problem is YOU since its a common theme among anti lfg people that the yall have bad runs, It shows that the anti lfg people are the common factor in there bad runs.

A lfg channel does not solve the problem. The key to a lfg success is that no one has to form the group. There are very few people comfortable enough to form and lead a group.

All a global channel ends up being is a troll fest area.

There is no proof that the tools do any such thing. Thousands of runs with very few bad ones would say my personal experience is the opposite of what you said. People will be who they are regardless!

ugh. right. that's why people spamm the fleet to death with lfg for a run, while half the people in the lvl-range for that instance are not actually on the fleet.

those are the moment where it plain makes sense to

/cjoin lfg


on top of that, people always complain the game feels empty. with a 'global' channel at least they have someone to talk to.

you can still leave the channel if there's too much 'spam' in there, but not even giving a player-created solution a chance is kinda... well.. lame.

/cjoin lfg won't put people on the servers which is the major problem of the LFD debate. Will it make things better? Probably but being spammed or what not through that channel doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

they already said that while there will be a group finder, it won't be cross-server right away. so, as long as that is not gonna happen people have two choices: try to find their own solution (a global channel) or keep whining.


lots of people who could 'pack' the servers are not playing during the off-peak hours even if they could because they know they won't find people to party with anyway.

and obviously, nobody is forcing anyone to join/use a general lfg channel, but then please don't keep saying it's so hard to find people...
