Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

I have mixed emotions at this point but am leaning towards having a LFG tool, even if it is cross-server. I think that others have it right---if the overall gaming community is pretty good from the start, you won't have this "it ruins community" argument. WoW was the first MMO that I played that had this feature in place and I must say that the majority of my runs were with vile people. I would come across some rare good groups where people were patient and kind but they were few and far between. The degree of cruelty and unkindness in groups was pretty appalling and after a bit, I left WoW and went on to other games with a better community. I've come to the realization though that the overall WoW community is just horrid so these people would exist with or without the LFG tool.

When the cross server LFG tool finally came to Rift, it wasn't the end of the community. For the time that I played Rift, people were generally pretty good in groups, even from other servers. I can't comment on other games that had cross server features since I didn't play them when this feature was added. I must say that I did enjoy this feature since it allowed me to do my dungeons when my guildmates or friends weren't on. Overall a great feature.

The reason why there are so many "vile" players in WoW is simply this, kids and teens are playing that game.

I'm afraid you really have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing you said makes sense.

I can't believe I'm having to explain what a compromise is to you. I can't believe you don't understand what it is.

I'll try again....third time lucky....

A compromise doesn't mean you have to give something up, it means you find middle ground. Giving both parties the tool and options means both get what they want. Giving only a single server means only one side gets what they want.
It really is one the simplest things I've had to explain to someone, how are you not getting it?

I just don't get all the WoW LFG hate. Really I don't.

I've played both factions on multiple servers over a number of years, and I've had bad groups - groups with terrible players, players that are rude, and players that just seem to want to afk.

BUT...

Those were the exceptions.

The majority of groups I've been in have had no issues. None. Maybe they have been a bit quiet, but the groups all completed the content with no fuss or issues.

In fact I just finished a 7 day 'trial' with their Scroll of Resurrection, and used the LFG on a couple of 85 along with a new character I created. I never waited more than 10-15 minutes for a group, and I never had an issue with a group.

I haven't renewed my sub there because the content has grown stale to me, but at some point I may go back and drop SWTOR as accessible stale content is still better than any content that isn't accessible.

How about this...

a LFG tool.. that uses only ppl in your own server.

You have one camp that wants no-holds-barred x-server access and another group that doesn't want any LFG tool.

I'm not gonna stop talking about it until a X-server is actually implemented. Anyone who has experience with LFD tools knows what is going to happen with this same server LFD tool - High populated servers will prosper and all others will not. How is that different from todays Group Finder?

Communities are a thing of the past, this died back in earlier 2000 when MMO used to be niche thing. Now the general masses are playing this game. The general masses tend not to care about communities rather quick progression of their characters and gearing. People will slit your throat to obtain that shinny loot.

You can tell from the forums, before launch this forum was littered with posts about no LFG system etc. After the release of the game people are screaming their heads off for LFG system. This is when the masses started to come to the forums, pre-launch the forums were a place for the niche gamers...but as you can tell they all left.
