Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

'It ruins the community' - really? I fail to see how general chat spam of "LF2M Healer and Tank" over and over quantifies as community (and normally in caps)!! Those who argue you should make your own friends and guild mates, well then clearly you are very fortunate to have so many friends playing SWTOR at the same time who are wanting to instance at the same time that you wont need the LFG Tool, so again, I fail to see why the hate.
!

There is even a discussion still about the usefulness of LFG tool? Damn... everyone who thinks it's not needed should wash their brains - assuming they have any - As for now you have two choices, let me put numbers next to it so all of you LFG haters can actually see them:

1. You sit still on the fleet station and occasionally spam the general channel with DPS LFG whatever. While doing this, you are pretty much limited to sit around and get your *** bored to oblivion, maybe jump to a warzone or two when no one is responding, no dailies, no nothing. For people with work, who need to "make money" themselves and not wait for their parents to give them some, it is a waste of their -already limited - free time.

2. You flag yourself with the BWs current utterly useless LFG "tool", add a comment and wait. The problem is, that this isn't even a tool and I guarantee, that there are loads of people who doesn't even know about this "tool" being there.

Now, how would it look with the LFG tool? Again, numbers so troglodytes can see what I mean:
1. I open up a LFG window
2. I choose a Flashpoint I want to do
3. I choose my role
4. I click "start"
5. I continue playing and doing whatever I was - without wasting my godamn time!
6. I found the group
7. I can use a quick travel option to the Carrick station or I travel there myself
8. ME = a happy subscriber


People who think of some bizzare things to justify the lack of LFG tool are probably the ones, who do the flashpoints regularly with their RL friends who play this game aswell or guildies and they just dont want to make it easier for everyone, they want to be "elite". LFG tool destroying community? B.Please...

Right now I'am not doing any flaspoints with my alt (lvl 20ish) because of the "waste time" factor and I bet they will keep on loosing subs because of it.

Actually this is what I am against, the fleet is already nothing more than a waiting room for flashpoints, I'd like to see the flashpoints moved to planets to force people to actually revisit them. With quick travels and virtual queues (like we now have for warzones) it's turning the entire game into a single player story plus a bunch of mini-games.

What we need is not more short cuts but everything out in the open world.

Yeah...LFG system ftw

server only is more then enough..no x-server

If you want X-server or if you don't want X-server doesn't matter. If we all teamed up and aksed for an LFG with an X-server TOGGLE, we'd all get what we want. So stop debating and ask for it!


As a side note: James Ohlen said "NO MERGES". If anyone wants to post here, please consider the fact that the merges JO is speaking of is NOT the same thing as transferring off of dead servers and shutting them down. Thanks.

Transfer/shut-downs are VERY LIKELY going to happen to cull the number of servers that are currently available. But, again, that is NOT a merge.
