Dungeon Finder Needed Badly

No its not. What you said is foolish. Right now in my guild I have 20+ people that I have become friends with, some have followed me from other games to SWTOR. You people who want a Cross Server LFD tool need to go play a Lobby game or a single player game. Its not hard to make friends and be social among players. O WAIT THE LEAD DESIGNER SAID WHAT? Yes that logging on with a guild/group of friends is more enjoyable then playing the game solo. Which you do if its a Cross server LFD tool. End of Story.

I like your Arrangement because it will blow up in your face. The Majority of people who have played MMOs prior to LFD tools have for the social interaction, Most of the people who don't want Social interaction play YES LOBBY GAMES or SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. I am sorry that your logic does not get that MMO players want social interaction and MMOs were and have always been designed around Social interaction going as far back as you guessed it, THE REALM.

Its a moot point now. You want to go back to WoW or Rift which has a Cross server LFD tool be my guest. I have friends that been waiting for BW to say there was not going to be a Cross server LFD tool because they would not play another game with one. O and BTW yes the same goes from 30+ members in my guild. Social interaction and being on vent is more important then a Lobby game.

lol . .

If you people think you can make friends on faceless people you will never see in your entire life, then you have a very cheap concept of what friendship means. In my times we used to go outside to a bar or a nightclub to meet people and eventually, make our friends.

It hasn't worked out like that in wow. In swtor I've spent so many hours trying to get a flashpoint (yes, I screwed up, somehow I ended up 4 levels too low for the content and on Voss it actually hurt so I had to level so I could do the missions I had) and nothing. Been in a group, but you can't find a tank. Just need 1 dps and a companion can be the other dps. But try to find that ONE elusive dps. It might not be an issue at 50 but when you're levelling it is. When you're in group heroics, once we made it a flashpoint. Other times people aren't interested. They're in the missioning headspace etc or logging off soon.

Also, friends I meet in this game are friends. Not slaves. I can't make them stop everything they are doing and come and run with me whenever I want. Or even log on, for that matter. Anyone else's guild gone AWOL?

Choosing to roll on a high population server isn't really an option for some of us, considering that so many of the servers are Low to Standard population.

That my be the single most well reasoned, thought out and researched response I have ever seen on a forum. It was backed up with fact and presented in a manner in which a response could barely hope to stand against.


I will sum this up for you one more time Gavin:

I do not need a game to make friends.
I do not look to this game for a sense of community. I have my church, my friends, my family, my job and my neighborhood for that. Again, I do not need a video game for that.
I enjoy the irony of an MMO player lecturing others about social skills.
I play this game because there are certain features of MMOs I really enjoy: Instance, Raids and things that involve teamwork.
I pay $16 a month to play this game.
If this game continues to fall short of my expectations and continues to not be able to deliver a complete product, I will stop paying $16 dollars a month to be bored.
Bioware is a business. Businesses exist for one reason and one reason only and that is to make money.
When people stop paying subscription fees, businesses stop making money.
When BW stops making money on SW, SW goes away.
See what happens to your imaginary world now.

The bottom line is the bottom line and when enough people stop paying their fees, the bottom line gets REALLY small.

This is a tool. Your notion that a TOOL can ruin a community is a completely false premise. You can always choose not to use said tool. You're guild will be intact, you're little circle of "friends" will be intact, you're community will be intact and SW will be a stronger game for having it.


There are A LOT of holes in this game that Bioware needs to address and address quickly. This is one of them.

Spot on.

please get us a Dungeon Finder before 1.3

Sub cancelled until there is a Group Finder.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

This is really the main reason I left the game, that and ALL the stuff coming in 1.2

I looked at the 1.2 vid, HOPING to see some sort of Flashpoint Matchmaking, and nothing.

I guess I won't be coming back yet.

To those that don't want one, just don't use it. But for people like me who abhor LFG spam, or being forced to sit in a populated area to wait for a group rather than doing something productive with my time? Not having this option after using it in WoW for so long is a huge turn off.

I left because, as much as I enjoyed this game, I could not justify paying a monthly sub for what so far amounted to a single player experience with a few warzones thrown in.

What I WANT and NEED is to be able to group up with one or two or 3 of my buddies, press a button and fill the rest of what we need for a group, then do some flashpoints together during those times when they are on, and when they aren't? I will do solo stuff and explore my story.

IMO there is no excuse not to have these things... Just because people used to have to cook popcorn in a kettle doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to nuke mine in the microwave.
