No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

Just my intuition: don't expect to be able to run anything but hard mode flashpoints; the normal ones will be pretty much dead (you might be able to run the 50 normals but I doubt it). Even then, you'll probably have long waits (hour+) even if you're playing during prime time.

No, I'm pretty sure I refuted your point: You said that you lose the ability to choose people if they add a cross server lfg. I showed that this isn't the case.

I still have plenty of room on my ingore list in wow, and I have 0 tolerence for any sort of rudeness in lfd groups.

Yeah, it's really sad that new players are basically going to miss out on such a huge part of the game (flashpoints)

He probably told you that you were conflating correlation and causation.

Actually, they nerfed dungeons 2 or 3 times before single server lfg, and then another bunch of times after before I stopped playing, on almost a continual basis tryign to tune things properly. They were pretty much untuned when the game went live.

and then they added master mode dungeons to make sure they had proper hard content, to make sure they were making everyone happy.

I guess ats_beowulfe or anyone else didn't have an answer for my question.

Wrong,
NEED a cross realm LFG tool. Shout my head off for hours LFG and get nothing. Haven't done a flash point unless it was with my guild. Don't say its bad for the community when ya can not group with anyone from the community anyway.

Not in 1.2 though if I remember what I heard you guys saying? (If it is then I do apologize but from the way the posts are worded it seems like its in the works, and not defiantly in 1.2):

So does this mean 1.2 will be server-only for the time being? Because if Im honest.. Uthar Wynn cannot take the hit if that's the case. The population is dwindling, people are re rolling to other servers or just leaving, and without any cross-realm queues full stop the server will have a hard time with - as it is right now - insane queue times.

Don't get me wrong, I have faith in 1.2 - but I don't think its going to bring everyone back to a light populated server of 300-400 people who seem to be playing on it at the moment (both sides).

Since no one would answer you and you wanted an answer, here ya go.

I can never communicate with anyone on another server now, right? But, put us together in a cross server LFG tool and boom, while we are grouped, I have every opportunity to chat with that person(s). That's communication that I would never have otherwise.

And, I always started runs in WoW with pleasantries as well as discussion throughout any dungeons (cross server or otherwise, didn't treat them any different). Its not the tool that creates bad "communities" its the people. If people are rude, a lack of tools doesn't make them nice all of a sudden.

How does that improve the server community? What would you rather have on your server, people who are happy and enjoying all of the game's content (due to the ease and access of a cross server LFG tool), or people so frustrated with not finding groups just log off in anger and never come back...

and those against it will say anything to argue their point. So what's yours?

the DIFFERENCE is, people for the LFG tool can give first-hand opinions from experience..those of you against it just say "it ruins community nah nah nah boo boo" without any real facts to back it up.

here's a clue; WoW's community didn't change, and I had less problems in LFG pug groups than hand-made ones from my server only..and I played since beta to cata. Others tell you the same. WoW's community was always garbage because of the type of people that prevailed on Battle.net and came over due to the "WarCraft" name.

the cross-server LFG tool helped RIFT..but everyone wants to overlook that fact.

a cross server LFG tool will not do anything to the community except help keep people who are on the fence to canceling due to not being able to get groups together for the things they want to do.

what exactly is fun about spamming general chat for an hour or two? only to either give up most of the time or not even find a group?

FACT - SWTOR needs a cross-server LFG tool. FACT - it will only HELP the game.

get over yourselves..no one is forcing you to use the damn thing anyway if it does go in.

Ok during the duration of the flashpoint you can communicate with those few people... Then what? You can't nurture pr strengthen those bonds at a later date unless you leave your current community and join theirs.

No idea how bad people came up in a communication discussion.

Your last point makes the assumption that the community will be miserable without a cross server fully automated system. That also does not answer how can communicating with players from another server temporary improve your current community. Are the bonds between the server members strengthened? People joining more guilds, making more friends etc on the server increase via this communication? I am curious.
