Do You want cross server LFG tool?

Yes, but let people opt in...that is, you can be in the x-server LFG or server-only LFG.

Wait...when do we tell them we really don't come in peace?

2 months ago i was on the No train...after spending 2 weeks doing nothing due to lack of being able to group im starting to lean the other way. I've spend prolly dozens and dozens of hours i dont really have begging for groups...no ones doing anything anymore. I wouldnt mind a planet heroic LFG, and if they clustered the pvp / pve / rp servers to gether with thier own kind i think X-Server LFG would be much more improved.....nothing like watching an RP healer with green gear spend an hour arguing with a tank with pvp gear on wich leads to a broken group and too much time wasted.

Every person who says "no" to this issue says the same thing, it will ruin the game community....but my question is.....what community are they talking about?

Right now if you are not part of a big guild and running at night you have an almost impossible task of being able to experience the endgame content. The vast majority of the sever community does not belong to the big guilds and many like me do not have the ability to play at night so do players like me count as part of the community?

It seems to me the only real reason these people say "no" is they are the super elitists who feel being able to experience the endgame content is a "right of passage" where if you are not just like them then you don't qualify to play.


The real question is pretty clear:

Do all players paying their $15 a month have the same right to experience the endgame content as everyone else or is that content restricted to those who join the big guilds and play at night?

Of course yes, the good easily outweighs the bad with the pop issues in this game, everyone saying no probably has a good guild or lucked out on a decent server, some could just be weird too. I don't care about some nebulous community when there's 20-30 people on imp fleet it doesn't exist anyway.

Just make it so gear is locked tightly to your class no sniper looting blaster rifles, marauders looting willpower lightsabers and it's fine.
Even with server transfers and merges FPs on demand is a good idea, and who's to say we won't lose even more people later. It still took me like an hour at launch to find groups for some FPs if it can be made to take just minutes I'm all for that, I don't care about adding people to friends list that happened oh like three times for me I just want to spam FPs even while levelling up.

Yes, definitely. Couldn't find a group for 2 weeks. This is a multiplayer game, is it? And it was released at the end of 2011? So where's the modern grouping system, like it is standard these days?

When this game came out I was on the "no" train. But at that point I had enough solo-content to do. Now it's time for the multiplayer part, and the means to actually properly use it.

So fix that, asap.

I doubt so i am in harbringer server lfg for any HM for 2 hours with 150 ppl online in fleet but still lack of a tank or healer or worse anyone. A high populated server might not guarantee you a party. And i am still lfg for EOT .

As a former FFXI player, I understand the utterly pain of trying to get a group together. However, a cross server LFG tool would kill the social interaction part of this game.

Why talk and get to know people, form up a party and take on challenges when you can click a button and have all that done for you, without any social interaction which should normally occur in an MMORPG!?

I'll compromise with In-server LFG (And it isn't because I'm from one of the Big 4 in the east either. I'm on the Razor, and we barely hit Standard on the weekends).

Otherwise, I'm fine with Cross-Server PVP. Makes sense actually.

Well it would be better than spamming general forever just to get a group of 4, only 4 is needed and still takes forever. Really?!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Here is the ultimate fix, get rid of the tank and healer class and watch how easy it would be to get groups.

Social interaction should normally occur in an MMORPG? I'm sorry, where does it say that? Maybe it was like that 10 (!!) years ago in the first MMORPG's, but we have 2012. I, for once, couldn't care less about random people in a game. They are not my friends, nor do I want them to be.

What I do want, is being able to play the game for which I paid, and am still paying for. That, should be normal.
