No cross server
Yes to server LFG
unless ofc the population is so splintered then maybe cross server LFG.

no.

you say faster grouping. its not faster if the group disbands after 5 mins because some1 dies. and you have to look for a new group

The same thing can happen from a group created from random general chat warm bodies.

At least with a LFG tool, you could be returned to your previous location and could continue whatever it was that you were doing.

... because we all find it fun traveling to an instance, having it break early and being returned to the start. /sarcasm

Yes. I want to be able to do the flashpoints. My server at the moment is standard pop, but I still have a hard time finding people to do the flashpoints with. I would even take a global server wide LFG messaging tool. I HATE having to go to the fleet, only to find it empty. If we could at least post a LFG over all planets then that would be a great start.

I know a lot of players say the LFG group will ruin the flashpoint experience. At least with it we would get to do them. I dont like out leveling flaspoints simply because nobody does them. I want to see content, and get social points. The gear drops are just a bonus for me.

Yes to LFG that is cross-server

People keep using the fringe case of the baddie who abuses the system but is still able to get groups thanks to x-server. There is a big assumption being made here that with the current system or a server only tool that this same baddie would be so infamous that everyone using chat/lfg tool knows this person by name and could avoid him.

Could it happen? Sure it could but why do people want a system that is designed to address the uncommon scenarios instead of the very common scenario that it sucks having to stand in fleet and spam for a group. If there was a LFG tool why would you want to limit the pool of players in the queue just so this theoretical bad player doesn't benefit.

What community does the x-server LFG tool destroy? People in general chat calling each other out after someone ninja's an item or fails in a FP? If you are grouping with the same people for FP's over and over that you are actually creating some sort of personal bond with them that is a good sign right there that the pool of players available to group with needs expanding

not so much. if you do that too many times on your own server in the end you won't be able to get a group. on cross server LFG you can do this to as many groups as you like with no worry's about finding the next group. server transfers will sort out the problem of not fining a group. there is no need for a cross server LFG, it allows bad habbits to become the norm

Yes, GOD YES! Must have, ignore everyone here who say they don't need it, they don't count!

The general casual community needs this badly!

YES!

I stated before I would be content with an in-server LFG as well. I don't care about my reputation, I won't be the one dropping or kicking/screaming when I don't win a roll. I can always run it again and random rolls are fair so long as their going to use the gear. Not everyone wants a LFG system to be a d**chebage :/

Yes, definitely. Even if a server is populated, it doesn't mean anyone wants to run the instance you want to run right now. This is especially true for leveling instances. There are problems with it, but people who scream about it "ruining WoW" seem to have forgotten. WoW initially implemented as server only AND IT DID NOT WORK!!! Just not enough people on most servers wanting to do a given instance. You could, sometimes, get groups for end-game level instances, but it was totally useless for the leveling instances.
