No Cross Realm LFG tool please!

Which was still much better than the LFG tool SWTOR has now :-).

I think there needs to be some LFG tool, I really don't mind if its cross server for Leveling reasons only. End Game should not be Cross server. Its up to players to be in guilds, or have friends and not queue solo, time after time. a Server only LFD tool will promote most people queuing as a group and making friends, a cross server promotes solo play and bad behavior.

The Server only LFD will also only work with server mergers, which has to be done. There have been successful games that have done something like this. Its not hard to do and is not going to be bad for the community. When you have a handful of servers at heavy or very heavy population during peak hours finding a group becomes fairly easy.

I agree there needs to be some work on the LFG tool. However they should really work on the Looking for Guild tool faster. My guild right now averages 16 people on each night sometimes as high as 25. If this was seen by people looking for guilds that are sitting in guilds were they are one of 2 or 3 or even 4 people online they can easily find a guild like mine that suits them. This way they do not need to go through all the spam of guilds. They can search should get peak time play, average members online nightly, how far they are raid wise, Rated PVP when that comes. This puts the power in players hands to go find a good guild over forum trolling and reading spam.

"WE ARE THE BEST GUILD ON THE SERVER" "JOIN US NOW!" (Wait but you have 2 people on, have 10 people in the guild total, no raiding, and you talk.) Well some people like that however most people have problems telling when someone like this person spamming is just putting the wool over peoples eyes.

I will probably stop playing if I cant do flashpoints. I have done nothing but level alts and play pvp for the last 4 weeks. I simply havent had enough guildmates logging on to do anything. I have a job and school, and I really want to be able to play this game from 6pm-10pm, but I cannot do anything in that timeframe without a lfg tool. I love this game, I love it to pieces, but this is a bit of a downer for me.

Well..I will have to re-read that. So you may be right.

Please donot tell me what to play and when. I can enjoy WoW and TOR at the same time. Which I do. I do however want TOR to succeed for the long run. Not just for thier sake, but for me to enjoy it also for years to come. Pointing out what they need to add is not a bad thing and if it happens to be something WoW or any other game does better....then so be it. I firmly beleave TOR will need a cross server tool eventually. Server side only may work out fine for the one you are on, but there will be many cases where it will not on low pop servers.

End Game content is one very important reason TOR needs one. There are many players who cannot devote the time to play when a guild wants to play or wants to use outside tools like Vent to do them. A cross server tool lets those experence the end game content at a time which is best for them. You allways have nightmare, heroic, hardmodes for end game content for those who want to be hardcore.

You are a prime example of how many have jobs and families and donot have the time to spend hours in Fleet trying to get a grp for a Flashpoint. And it sounds like you are on a low pop server, joining a guild, ( which you allready have ) is not a solution. Hang in there and lets hope BioWare hears the voices of those like you.

Which for all practical reasons TOR does not have a LFG tool. The flagging yourself for a group is mostly a waste of time.

It's just mind-boggling that anyone would be against a tool like this. Nothing is stopping people from bringing their friends or Guildmates. If you que in alone you run the same risk running into losers as you do with finding a group of strangers in Fleet. The reason people have more bad experiences with LFG is simply because your completing more runs with more people. The more people you run into the more chance you have of meeting an A-hole. But I'll take that instead of sllloooooowwwwwllyyy finding a group and completing a run here. You just have to have thick skin. Roll your eyes and move on.

I never understood the argument of how a LFG tool can destroy a community. Especially since I have yet to see any real community interaction in-game. Just today I walked into a cantina that was full of players but instead of talking to each other, they were conversing with their companions then running right back out again. Try to strike up a conversation and almost no one responds unless it is a quick witty comment.

Bringing in a useful LFG tool, even x-server one, will not damage anything. This game could use more community substance though, that is for sure. I'm definitely not asking for anything like the "Goldshire Table-Top Dancers", but at least that has more community than what I have seen so far.
