No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

An LFG tool is just like any other technological advancement. It makes life or gaming more efficient. Cell phones have made our social life more efficient. We don't have to wait until we get home to check our messages and make our calls anymore. Yet that's what we do in this game if you want to run FPs. We have to leave the world behind and go to the fleet to make our calls. Have cell phones ruined the community? Well, you could actually argue "Yes." And yet I'm sure everyone here owns a cell phone.

/vote no cross realm lfd too. Same realm is great though. I suppose I would be ok with a cross realm so long as we had unlimited ignore list and the loot mechanic was implemented correctly. No dps roling on tank/heal gear etc etc

I support a cross-realm LFG tool, but only because of the challenges some people are having on low-pop realms.

Being on a heavy server with 200+ active on fleet, I don't have problems finding groups. But this was one of the reasons I left Warhammer. No being able to find a group because of population challenges isn't fun and won't help the game's longevity. The more people that play, the more content we'll see. This feature hasn't killed other games, and it certainly wouldn't kill this one.

What about us poor RP-ers!!!

Thank you. I'd like to add that need to make sure we don't punish people too much for electing to group within their own server.

I will ONLY support X-realm LFG if and ONLY IF I can make friends with people I encounter through the system AND can either go their server OR invite them to mine whenever I want.

Why? Because flashpoints & operations are ONLY a small portion of what I do in this game. I wish to have a network of friends that I can not just chat with but hang out with, run instanced and non instanced content, help through my crew skills or they help me through theirs, meet up in fleet and act goofy or something, ride shotgun in their ship among other things.

So until I can do all that with the people I meet up through a X-realm LFG system...

in that_game at start of cata heroics for random party was hard
and ppl just either accept the challenge and possible wipe-fest in LFG or make party of guild mates/friends, own server in trade
flexibility, you can use lfg or not, both work
low standart's
i'm tank-dps (btw i love ~100k cost for spec change, so much fun) "no problem" for me is instant queue at any time, any day

Yeah, when Cata came out the heroics were kinda difficult if you had a weak link so most people grouped with their friends and only randomed if absolutely necessary. Everybody else had 3 options: seek out friends, wait a few weeks to a month for people to progress enough and finally to tough every instance out and teach/help people. It worked pretty well.

Yeah, I love my instant queues as heals/tank

No, I don't agree that will make any significant change to the dearth of low level flashpoints... we're talking new players, so they don't know high level players.

Cross server lfg means that low level dps wait ~5-10 minutes to get a flashpoint (that's the wait time in wow) at off peak times; tanks and healers will be instant or nearly so. A mentoring system simply can't compete with that.

False; every zone in the game is instanced. Fleet. Every zone on every planet. Everything. Right now, it's possible to be in the same zone but a different instance of that zone. I ran into that several times on coruscation right after the game launched in december. If you're in the wrong instance, you can party with someone and then move to the leader's instance.

Clearly: cross server could indeed address that problem; it all depends on whether they implement it (much like the sidekick system you're talking about)

Yay, DarkthKhaos is in favor of the full suite of cross server tools as well =)
