After using WoW's LFG tool for over 2 years, I haven't encountered a player who afked the whole instance... I also didn't see people ninja that much, you maybe saw one once in 3 months. And I used LFG tool quite enthusiasticly. It's sad really when someone tries to make up reasons to hate such an obvious improvement to the game.

so that definition has nothing to do with the whole of the internet.

Right now, in the game as it works today, you can have multiple instances of every zone in the game. If you happen to be in the wrong instance from a friend, you can move to their instance to do stuff with them (I've had to do so on several occasions, particularly on coruscant)
Wrong. Not every zone is instanced. On my server, only Korriban had several instances, and it was due to the amount of players. Planets after Korriban were NOT instanced. If you happen to play on a high population server, then it's a different matter alltogether.

No thanks to cross server LFG, i would rather just keep each server as a seperate community, or just merge a few low pop servers together.

That instanced is different from the way flashpoints are instanced. Look at it like this. Flashpoints & raids can be placed on their own server. Seperate and detached from the rest of the server your character resides on connected to a shared database holding your character information. The instances that your class quests and heroic quests are part of not just the server but the planet said instance is on. This is why you can talk to players in general chat on say Balmora while inside your class or a heroic quest instance and can only chat in general chat with players inside say Esseles. You cannot chat with players located on fleet or Courascant's general chat while inside that flashpoint because it is not part of those planets.

This is why a cross server can work for flashpoints and operations and not class and heroic quests. They're two different types of instances.

The "highly intelligent" person he was quoting is basically claiming that "the whole game is instanced" to validate the use of a cross realm lfg tool to imply that a cross realm tool will help with heroic and class quests, but it can't.

The current system is as worthwhile or worthless as those who chose to use it or not.

The world isn't as cruel as free for all online games so quit crying about "I can't find anyone who wants to play with me" and deal with it.

I don't want cross server because I don't consider the "massive multiplayer" in CoD or diablo 2 to be the same thing as it is in a mmorpg. The sacrafice for the greater good you're talking about will likely BW giving up my sub after the in game's general attitude has devolved due to nobody having to count on eachother anymore. In it's current state, this game is a cookie cutter post TBC copy. To "deal with it" by hitting the unsub button wouldn't be that hard.

Look, no one is saying the X-LFD feature is gods gift to MMORPRG's but statements like that just breed complete ignorance and not make me want to work with you for a compromise.

There either is, or is not.

What compromise? Every other week?

There is a line of I don't want it, and I do.

I myself would prefer not to have a cross server LFG feature.

I have reasons for not wanting it, and the people that do will not pay regards to them, so there is no more to be said other than that I do not want it.

Such as the comment: resisting improvement for "community". some real hippies in here

That comment is not constructive at all, it is an attack against a person who believes in a different approach to the X-srever LFG, and CaMiKaZiE does not even state anything for the reason why X-Server LFG is desired, just an attack.
