Well the problem is they haven't released any info about it at all. So far BW actually has the worst marketing department in terms of they don't seem to like actually giving anyone any information about what's being worked on.

My understanding is that it will work like WoW's LFD, except that it is single server and it won't port you instantly to the place you want to go.

So on the group finder interface:
1. Check your role, tank, healer, dps.

I'm gonna check the tank role.

2. Select what you want to group for. Flashpoint, heroic missions, planet.

I'm gonna select flashpoint.

3. Check the flashpoints that you want to do.

I'm gonna check all level 50 flashpoints.

4. Click submit.

I'm gonna then go do dailies on Ilum and Belsavis. After a while, it will then auto-group me with 1 healer and 2 dps.

So my understanding is, it is an automated version of LFG. Instead of being restricted to the fleet spamming LF1M tank False Emperor, I can let the group finder automate that process, so that I can do dailies on some planet.

Why would they give you a manual group finder if it already exists?

This is your exact quote.

So I linked their youtube channel showing that, they have indeed given a lot of information about what they know, and what they plan to work on. From Operations, to PvP, to the Economy, to the Legacy System.

If you say they are the worst marketing department simply because they don't give you details about group finder, despite the fact that they held a guild summit, showed tons of information and answered a lot of questions.

Yes, they release a short trailer with a few clips of a patch about to be released. But ask them about anything else and they dodge the question with a "It's being worked on." and no more info.

Though for the record, I do still hold BW's marketing department in fairly low standards for various reasons.

Because it kills off server community, because it will bring about an era of douchebags like what happened to wow.

Need more reasons?

/sigh

That same old opinion. Sorry but we've heard that quite a bit, and we don't really believe it to be valid. Currently there barely is any community ingame outside of a Guild, and there are already bad players as it is.
