Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

I'm done.

I try and try and try to LFG to do Flashpoints while sitting around doing NOTHING in the Fleet, only to logout 30 mins later in frustration.

I'm unsubscribing until a LFG Tool is implemented to assist with formation and queuing of FP groups. PVP has one, so why can't there be one for PVE?!!

Yeah I did Alts as well. Guess what? They end up sitting around looking for FPs as well (at all levels). Basically it's just a solo experience without an LFG Tool. Guilds don't solve this issue either. Even our relatively large and busy guild doesn't provide the so called "community" needed for group FPs as getting folks together to do things at the same time doesn't work well.

Lame.

I'm sick of the complaints about there not being a LFG tool.

Server mergers and LFG tools by themselves will NOT revitalize SWTOR. Why? There is no INCENTIVE to sign in and do anything frequently, especially for 50s. Looking for group to do WHAT that is worth while???

You combine two servers with people who don't have incentive to sign in at least daily, and you end up with NOTHING new.

What you need to do is provide that incentive. And you need it quick. So, do like WoW does, and make the HM FP daily quest worth doing. Many people have skipped some or all of the HM FPs...most them who have done HM FPs have done BT a zillion times over just to get the daily done. And no wonder people are bored!

You must up the ante for doing HM flashpoints. This would add huge incentive to do them. The HM daily quest reward should be increased and scaled to the difficulty of the heroic completed--and should include Rakata and Black Hole tokens as appropriate:

The Black Talon: Keep as-is, "LFG quick daily BT HM" in General Chat makes my stomach turn!
Boarding Party: Add 1 Rakata token
The Foundry, Directive 7: Add 2 Rakata token
The Battle of Ilum, The False Emperor, Kaon under Siege: Add 1 Black Hole token
Lost Island: Add 2 Black Hole token

If people log in daily, it will help revitalize the economy as well.

I'm sorry, but I am puzzled by all the people claiming that mergers and/or a LFG tool will fix things.

What I describe is a QUICK and effective fix. It would take the developers a few days. No waiting until 1.3.

LFG tool with an X-server toggle, people.

Don't know why we're still arguing when we should be teaming up now to ask BioWare for it. The community is split enough on this for it to work. No need to be afraid that too many people would toggle X-server "OFF" and you won't get a group.

I still can't get over is that there are still people saying we don't need an automated LFG (Single or Cross server) and then we find out the game has lost 25% of its subscribers...

Suppose that's just a coincidence then?

Not saying lack of a decent LFG tool is the main reason for so many people having left, but it's certainly a contributing factor.

People can stay blind to the problems, doesn't mean they're not there.

I beleave it is a main reason. Not the only one..but right up there at the top of "Reasons not to resub to TOR".

So SWTOR lost 25% of people who needed to be handheld, not a big loss.
