I'm asking because your acting (and not only yours) towards this discussion demonstrates that you want the same identical features, copy-pasted from WoW to TOR.
BW could do a lot worse than to implement their own LFG feature exactly as it's implemented in WoW.

For example, they could do nothing and leave players on every server that's not High population with great difficulty in finding groups.

Or they could implement a single-server tool and leave players on low population servers (over 80% of NA servers) screwed.

So, yah, let's start with the WoW tool as a blueprint and see if there's anything we can to to help reduce the occurrence of bad behavior, like maybe making our roll-for-loot tool a bit smarter or changing the way loot is distributed in flashpoints.

You know they will not.

You see?

You said what i stated. You want TOR to be a WoW clone.

The community doesn't want that.

Both. And what is wrong with TOR having some of the good features of WOW or vice versa? I am not a WOW hater. And I want TOR to succeed and be around for a long time to come.

How is this not a WoW clone already, pretty much feels the same to me. What's wrong with copying the most successful MMORPG of all time? Are you up in arms over combat logs and dual spec coming as well? They're coming here, or you just trying to gloss over your hatred of the LFD with an idealistic stance that makes you come off as noble?

EDIT: And how on earth do you know what the "community wants", I see 3-4x more times the interest in WoW related features from people who oppose them. I know several people who play both games concurrently and wish they could switch full-time to SWTOR but can't because it's still lacking in certain areas
Our lack of a proper LFD tool will black out the sun!
Then we shall cancel our subs in the shade!

Nope. I never said I want all of TOR to be a WoW clone. Stop putting words into my mouth and making assumptions.

I want TOR to have useful features that WoW has, that make the game more fun, more pleasant, less boring, and less frustrating.

I don't want the WoW setting. I don't want the WoW crafting system, though SWTOR's is pretty close to it.

I would actually be completely in favor of any sort of implementation of anything that would help me find a flashpoint group in 15 minutes or less. But of the different things I can imagine, cross-server LFG is the most reasonable to solve the problem.

I also want other features from WoW to be implemented into TOR, like guild banks.

But, hey, if you hate WoW so much that you want to ensure SWTOR never gets any features WoW has, you probably hate TOR so much you shouldn't be playing it. I mean, there are button bars and quests and it's an MMO and there are 2 sides with a built in conflict and there's pvp and there's a pvp group finder tool and there's ingame mail and a way to sell goods to other players and there's crafting and the trinity and... my fingers are getting tired.

Just because a feature is in WoW doesn't mean it's evil. Actually, it means it might be pretty good or 10M people would have raised Caine when the feature went in, right?

None could have said it better. Well done.

Sometimes when I get home from work at 2am in the morning I'd like to be able to find a group consistently instead of being SOL most of the time. You'll have to excuse me though, where I'm from women are allowed to vote so it's confusing for me not being able to vote in this country

You completely missed the point. Unless you start seeing people on a regular bases trust me you don't really remember them. It's not about me. This was just an example from my personal experience. This extends to PvE also. It has been said before that people remember the movers and shakers on their server, both in PvP & PvE.

I could say they took the concept of the KOTOR series and applied it to a MMO which is what they did. If anything, they cloned their own game and turned it into a MMO using a different engine.
