Do You want cross server LFG tool?

I just can't understand the anti-social, self-serving attitudes of people who choose to play a Massively Multiplayer game...and then go on to try and say it's the Group Finder that breeds inconsiderate behaviour!

People would be less inclined to roll "need" on things they just want out of greed when the people they're playing with is on their server. Why? There's such a thing as server reputation. Particularly on the republic side, population numbers are low enough that people can remember you and what YOU did.

That's not the case with x-server. Ninja and be a douche to your heart's content and you probably won't see those people again. Who cares if they blacklist you? You're now in a pool of tens / hundreds of thousands of people!

It just amazes me how people can quickly demonize the opposing side to their argument. Chill out and remember that the other guy is probably a reasonable human being.

Oh contraire! I fully support the option of being able to choose yourself whether you queue Single Server or Cross Server. What I feel is the best compromise to please as many people as possible.
That way you can use it for Cross Server if you're on a low pop. Single Server if you like keeping community. Or not at all if you just don't want to!

And I've read all the 'issues', which were mostly crying and tantrums about some big nasty meanie who stole their shiny loot. Sorry but I don't believe everyone should be punished because of the actions of a minority.

Right back atcha! So basically "I want it so therefore everybody else should just shut up and take it. My gaming experience is more important than anyone's."

If you have a problem understanding why *I* may have issues with cross-server LFG tools, read back through the thread. My issues are similar to those shared by numerous others, as I said.

Yes to cross server Flashpoint LFG tool. Leveling alts is really painful now. Feel sorry for new players because it's almost impossible to find a group to run normal flashpoints (even HM flashpoints at 50). Heroic 4 quests? Good luck best to just abandon them when you pick them up. Had an alt on Nar Shada and from the minute I landed on the planet I was lfg for any of them. I ended up finishing up all the other quest on Nar Shada over a couple days and never once got a group for any of the heroic 4's. This means if you want to level up an alt you have to do all solo quests, maybe solo queue PvP, space missions for exp. Personally I like playing in a group. I love running the flashpoints. They are group activities, and even though I have done every flash point over and over before they are a set block of time/objectives to complete that are fun to do and way to meet others.

Sure the anti-LFG people will say get people from your guild to run FP, have your friends roll alts with you and run FP etc. Populations are fading, guilds are getting smaller or endgame level, there just isn't much left. My sniper is now 38. Has only ran BT several times, athiss once, and Cademinu once been trying to find group for BP/Foundry for weeks now and no luck. My PT (now 30) has done BT about 4 times and not been able to group for any others. My Marauder has done BT 3 times and now can not even find people to do it let alone any other FP's.

Sure questing is good but when you have been there done that a few times (not to mention I was in beta so I did all the quests several times after each wipe), questing only gets boring. As other say its a single player game at this point. Not what a MMO is supposed to be. I prefer to group and not being able to find groups has reduced my interest in playing my alts and since my main is fully geared already I am starting to fall into the trend of logging in after resets each week to run guild ops then logging out till next week reset. Not sure how much longer I will follow that trend before I just quit logging in at all and find something else. Times are a bit dangerous to be put in that situation with other MMO/online mode games about to release in a couple months.

I don't know what people are talking about with them saying no to this. Then again this is my first MMO as I'm a fan of Star Wars but a supremely avid fan of First-Person Shooters. Obviously, if you are experienced in MMOs then you obviously have a guild and are in a very active one or you would be playing a different MMO. So this doesn't actually pertain to you.

I do get that people would ninja roll, it already happens anyways. I straight up quit the FP when people purposefully do that. I definitely do that with my healer when I'm doing FP. Nothing hurts more than to have a healer quit on you because you decided to ninja need on something that didn't pertain to you.

PvP though, yes, it needs X-server support.

No

and again...NO!!!! In other games it has lead to a serious decline in server community. It leads to worse and worse player etiquette and many other negative aspects (exampled above).

Instead of jumping on the "X-LFG NAOW" band wagon, wouldnt it make much more sense to try out:

1) In-server LFG tools (something slightly more effective than the current one)
2) server merges
3)server transfers.

Also, if you find yourself stuck occasionally to find a group, try building a friends list as you progress, join a guild, start a guild.

There are many options to try out before looking for X-server grouping.
