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... *I VOTE NO!!!* You can learn to make friends other ways. Like you said, Flashpoints are just one facet of the game. Make friends in pvp, ops, or questing in the world. Everybody can't solo those heroic 4 quests, they'll need help. Stop depending on flashpoints as a social crutch. Learn to make friends other ways. Also, you asked me to go to WoW and spam chat for a group. Well, I don't play WoW but you're right, people would ask you to use the tool. Because it improves the process.

Yeah, if flashpoints are the only way you socialize then you got more problems then naught. LFD is coming anyways, we played this same little dance in WoW and the correct side won there too. It just takes time.

We already know lfg is being worked on and we know that cross serer for it is being considered. We also know BW stance on cross server has changed since cross server pvp is happening. Cross server will happen in time i am sure. As more and more games add cross server to their line up BW will end up forced to go cross server also to stay competitive.

They will do what ever it takes to keep and get more people playing. Its about MONEY and like it or not thats the way this world is. If without it they keep losing people they will put it in and a few posts saying if they do I will leave means nothing. See who cares what the forums say.. IN GAME what are people saying? People have been tried of waiting and waiting and waiting for groups. Prove to them IN GAME .show them how it will hurt not just with your lips aka text in a forum.

If the engine could handle it, they should just have a dozen servers with the appropriate PvP/RP/PvE and time zone mixes... then cross server wouldn't be necessary and one large community can develop and grow. But alas, I don't think the engine or the servers could handle it... But that would be ideal.
My epiphany about End Game in SWTOR!

Nah, I'd say that small servers with cross server lfg is clearly the better option: low lag; small tight knit server communities; large, well developed game community; fast groups for everyone who wants them; the ability to run groups with only the people you know as well.

I would like to see all grouping be done across servers.

However one of the best things I've seen implemented in this game is how you can easily add someone to your friends list after a flashpoint. I am not saying I'm not going to add friends in other ways but why take out means of gaining friends. That does not make any sense to me.

Can we please except the fact that trying to do without failed miserably? Not having a LFG tool only drove folks away from FPs: it did nothing to foster community building. Prolonging the inevitable seems silly. BW experimented with time travel and it blew up in their faces. The reason LFG tools are popular is because folks use them. If you don't like it don't use it. Gen chat will still be littered with LFG/LFM "said heroic" so people will still be spamming and chatting with each other.
I don't discuss things as a committee, I don't care about a protocol droid's opinion, and I wish I had more time to get her excited

As more and more games add cross server to their line up BW will end up forced to go cross server also to stay competitive. While I advocate for cross-server LFG, I have to argue with the last statement in your post. BW doesn't necessarily need to have cross-server to be competitive. What they need to do is find a way for players to get into groups with a wait time that is acceptable to those players. If servers were populated enough, then in theory a single-server LFG tool could do that. Cross-server LFG is one way to solve the waiting for group problem. Higher population servers is another way, and there are a few options to get to that point (transfers, mergers, big influx of players to name 3).
