Kinda disappointing it took them over 6 months from launch to actually put in a decent LFG tool.

However the problem a lot of us are discussing is that a single-server one may not be the proper solution, instead it'd be like trying to close a bullet wound with a band-aid. There needs to be a merge of the lower population servers as well.
I agree. A single server Looking for Group feature will limit the usefullness of it by simply not having as large of a pool of players to grp with. How well will it work on servers with very low populations? The answer is not to merge the servers, but have a LFG tool which is cross server. They are doing it for pvp warfronts I think. Why not for heroics , flashpoints and Operations? Those who think it will mess up the community are looking for excuses to continue playing with thier guild and having the advantage of gear over others.

I can speak from experence when I say this has not happened to my guild in WoW. Which most of us use the Looking for Group and even Raid tool a lot and our guild is growing..not losing members. Sometimes we have as many as ten of us in a 25 player raid and we enjoy running it together as much as we do when we do guild raid runs. The best part of it is..we can all run it when we want to. And our guild still has a strong community feeling and we still have but one strong rule...to respect others in word and actions.
Trust is something which is earned.

i challenge the devs to create themselves a level 50 with full rakata gear and see how long it takes to find a group for an operation or flashpoint. Please add cross-server flashpoint/operation functionality because finding groups is close to impossible

I would just like to add my two cents in hopes that this gets added sooner rather than later. I am totally in favour of a Dungeon Finder. Preferrably cross-server, but will accept a same server one for the time being. It is my opinion that they do NOT damage or potentially harm a server's community. While they help increase greatly the chances of playing a MMO in a group setting without the need of dedicating oneself to a guild.

Back in Dec when the game first came out, it wasn't that hard to get a group to do a flashpoint or even work on Heroic quests. Now it is extremely difficult even during peak hours or weekends to find others to group with.

I am actuallyclosingmy subscription on this very issue and I am sure I am not the only one. When one gets implemented I will reconsider resubscribing.

This will, eventually, become a deal breaker for me as well.

Not having a proper LFG interface in general is pretty terrible, but not having some easy method of finding groups for Flashpoints is unforgivable. Only a few months into the game's existence and it is becoming a real chore to get groups for Flashpoints at all levels.

As for the community argument.. what community? I can't recall the last time I had more than a passing conversation with anyone in this game. Everything is so heavily instanced that it's not uncommon, even on a fairly busy server, to find yourself the only person in a zone.

Whatever the old school MMO players may think, these games are no longer about socialising and making friends.. they are about enjoying the actual content. Anything that gets in the way of that is a negative.

Even a same server LFG tool would be fine, so I could queue up out in wherever and let the game find a group for me while I go quest and do other things without having to sit in one area spamming, add the Heroic quests in as well if they are in your quest log. Just do something to show you're trying...Even that, the smallest of things would be greatly appreciated.

Needs to be an Auto Que option/tool, with role based queuing. much easier and faster. Standing around shouting and looking is getting old and a waste of my time. I want to be able to que and move on with what Im doing until its time to start.

Basically, what the guy above me said, I just wanted to posit too

but we really don need it.

The only reason the tool doesn't work right now is because nobody wants to put in the effort of MANUALLY doing it anymore.

We have reached an age of everything must be done automatically for us. Whenever I need a tank or healer for my group I don't sit there going "lf2m eternity vault healer tank whisper whisper" I go to the lfg tool and whisper all the people that are that same thing that are either consulars and troopers

It is up to the people if they want to use the tool or not. The tools are there...it's up to the poeple to use them
