Same-server LFG tool would have worked at LAUNCH>
Not anymore. The population is too low now, and transfers are not going to help either.

Yea and thats great... Problem is without a x server it will take 10x longer to find a group. By the time that group has popped i would have already outleveled the fp i wanted xp/loot from.

I have always been a strong advocate for cross server queueing (pvp and pve).

However, until we see the LFG tool operational on live servers, all this conjecture is exactly that. Conjecture.

Reminds me of Rift and not being able to get a group there in first days of LFG tool

If you want to do stuff with only your server, just get a premade and queup together. I'd rather take less time waiting and get instantly into group. It's what, 8 minutes for DPS in WoW right now, and insta queues for healers / tanks.

Most likely the only reason why it isn't cross server is because it's much harder to implement. It will come when they know how to make one.

Fact is, most people did select their servers smart and are happy with the game. Just a few were unlucky or just not very smart if it came to server selection.

@ topic

I hope BW does soon realise that catering the game to the whiners at the forum does not work. They will just never shut up, no matter what tools they get.

Give them xrealm and they will cry about too hard dungeons, cmon we have all seen this at Wow.
Coming from the person who constantly whined about Elitists in the WoW dungeons?

I love how people are quick to jump all over Bioware for not listening to the community on having a cross server LFG tool, but they themselves have ignored the community. I would say at best its a 50/50 split of those in favor and against the cross server LFG tool, but I wouldnt be surprised if more people oppose it than support it.

To quote Mr Pink :

Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the Bioware shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball.

I've always wondered how many people will never touch any lfg tool, not because they are opposed to it, but just because they group up with people they know or maybe don't want to group at all.

I think what's completely getting overlooked here is why exactly he sat in the queue for an hour.

If it only takes 4 people to make a group and there's 70 people in fleet, in theory there would have to be atleast 10 of them queueing for the LFD, they're all probably DPS and this was the problem in WoW.

I remember sitting in WoW's cross-server LFD for an hour on my Lock because there were no tanks or healer using the tool. And the problem is going to be worse here because you can only bring 2 DPS for every Tank/Healer, in WoW you could bring 3.

It doesn't matter whether you have 20 people, 200 people, or 2000 people in the fleet, it doesn't matter whether it's cross server or single server or the entire game.

If no one is playing a Tank or Healer, you're going to sit in the queue for a very long time.
