Someone explain the LFG tool hate?

You cant just walk around trying to gather people anymore, cause theire all gonna become lazy and use the tool.

When did you stop playing WoW? When Cata was released you had to use a lot of CC or you would wipe. But as time went along, players became better geared and CC became less of a issue. But even now, it is used at times.
And huh? about WoW players not being able to find groups? No, Blizz was smart about that issue and added a cross server LFG tool.

You should look up the definition of the word compromise, because that's not it.

I'm still amazed at the amount of people who opt to play an MMO and then only want to play with a very small fraction of the playerbase.
End of the day, Cross-Server Group Finder has been successful for other MMO's that used it. How do I know it was successful?

People used it.

If so many people hated it, they wouldn't use it. Fact.

If so many people cared about server community, they would maintain one beyond Cross Server LFG's implimentation. Fact.

Nay-sayers may decry this as false, but I'm afraid common sense prevails here. If people cared about something, they'd do it and if they didn't like something they wouldn't use it.

Greetings,

We know that many players are interested in learning more about the upcoming dungeon finder tool. Principal Lead Systems Designer Damion Schubert talked a little about how the tool will work on the Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ Official Podcast: Episode 1, "Rocket Boots". You can listen to what he had to say, starting here.

We hope this sheds some light on the issue. Thank you for your feedback!

Well said. I think more is going on here than just the hatered about a cross server LFG tool with the fear for the health of the community. Like you said, you donot like it, donot use it. But with some...it may be they know they will lose some of the grip they have on others as for when and how they enjoy thier play times. Because I think deep down they know most will use it.

Look, it's not the tool but what it brings to the games. Nerfs after nerfs after nerfs. Nerfs were the biggest reason I stopped playing WoW and Rift. Getting stuck in a group with bad players, no problem I would leave but after a while I didn't have to. Everyone would just run, aoe and keep running. Yup money's worth.

Again 10 million players and people couldn't find groups. Spare me that the LFD was a godsend

And what about those people who not only do not want to use a X-Server LFG tool, but are also not in a guild or large guild and do not want to have to pug it with strangers?

What are you willing to do for them so that they "get to experience the same content"?

Or are you going to be as "close minded" and "selfish and controlling" as "those" other people and tell them to use it or not, but they have no choice?

Your answer can and may very well be the same answer that you and your X-Servers deserve for themselves in their desires.
