Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

You're basing your own assumption on what your friends have said. I'm basing mine on what a majority of complaints on this forum are about. I wouldn't say it's a common mis-assumption, I'd say it's going with what a lot of people are saying.

Put much more plainly than i did, this needs to go hand in hand with a x-server lfg tool if swtor wants to grow.

I'm sure this is the truth and just not EA admitting to their downfall.

This guy I've quoted makes a passive agressive accusation such as "who needs facts when you have blind opnion!" then goes on to engage in the same exact behavior declaring his opinions as fact.

I got bored with SWTOR's repetitive content.

I wan't some link or some sort of proof substantiating your claim that any percentage of players that SWTOR "losted" was due to the content being inaccessable and not shallow & repetitive.

I'd say if anything that the inaccessibility of this game keeps people from realizing how shallow & repetitive the game is at the end and keeps people subbed due to that. The reason for the inaccessibility is that the people who made it further got to see the travesty it is at the end hence aren't in game and LFG.

What can I say, two people agree on the same thread?!? I should also add, upping the ante for doing the daily HM quest via 1 or 2 Rakata/BH tokens would help the players who DON'T raid, by allowing them eventual access to higher-level gear.

So much truth in this post, there really isn't any need for more debate.

This is a statement EA made in attempt to save face.

The fact of the matter is anyone still playing this game on a regular basis IS casual and anyone who had hoped SWTOR would end up a deep challenging mmo is long gone.

This.

How do they save face from admitting they lost the player base that is the easiest to please? Further down in the article they mentioned that the casuals that left are Game Hoppers - that's where EA is saving face and their jobs.

Just an example of why they need to get x-server lfg tool and incentives to do Fps. I hve 2 level 50's both in full rakata, and ive never set foot in the new fp(cant even rememebr the name of it) because there is no reason for me to go there and it would have to be somethign pretty good for me to lfg for two hours or beg my guild to go with me.
