LFG Tool. Sitting in queue for an hour

A) You have no proof or evidence which side had more people wanting or against it.

B) So saying that other players are thieves and jerks is not looking down your nose?!

C) It doesn't cause more problems, there are the same amount and quite often the exact same problems as single server. The only difference is queue times.

D) Speaking of, last time I queued as a DPS on WoW at a non-peak time I had to only wait 15 minutes.

70 on fleet!!!! No way! I'm lucky if there's 10 on at once!

Same here. I think some of these quotes about long wait times are refering ether to the time the tool was not cross server or when cross server was first introduced and had some bugs in it. Also Blizz did add extra incentives for tanks and healers to que up for randoms. This helped a lot with reducing the wait times. Now, the like you said, the average wait times for a dps is 15 mins and allmost instant ques for the tanks and healers.

I've sat in LFD in WoW for 4 hours waiting on a tank in prime time more than once.....more than a hundred times most likley, one of the reasons i quit the game.

Bigger pops don't mean run a FP anytime you want within a matter of minutes. Even on The Fatman playing a healer it can take a while to get a group for some of the mid-range to higher flashpoints. There's only so many healers and tanks wanting to run a specific group content at a time. Cross-server group pairings wouldn't fix this either. The only real way to make more grouping a lot easier would be the ability to switch roles quickly like Rift does whyere it gives most clsses the ability to tank/heal/dps

What LFG will do is expand your pool out from the fleet or include people that don't sit there and constantly read all chat. You can't really argue that it won't making getting in groups easier but it's not going to have you instantly doing whatever you want when you want.

Time has a way of distorting stuff. I think your few months is more months than you think. But I know what you are saying. It is the average wait times for "random dungeon or LFR" I am refering to the average wait times of 15 mins for a dps. If you try to pick a specific dungeon, then yeah..your wait times are going to be longer. Recently I did a random dungeon que for my level 54 druid for example and the wait time was like 10 mins as dps. If I wanted to do a specific one, then yeah..the que times would have been longer. But it still beats waiting for over a hour or worse ... not getting any type of group run.

That had to be before cross server LFG was added. Or possible it was when they first came out with the tool. There were some cases of players getting bugged then. I did have that happen on occasion. What you had to do was drop the que and reque. But that is not the case now.

6th Feb 2012?

There is one more very serious factor to this that I have not seen brought up by anyone on these forums or BW. I have been playing MMOs since original Everquest launch and what I am referring to is unprecedented in any of these types of games, this is the 1st one.

Simply put, players are just too "demoralized" to group by now. They waited for too long by now. I am on what is now a low pop server, used to be 2nd highest pop in my region at launch. On the very rare occasion that I have grouping opportunities, except guild WZs and Guild Ops, I decline them because I am just so worn down from all the related drama here. I also talked to guildies and other regulars I play with and it turns out most people have actually become like me.

So you may be experiencing this even though there are people available, and miss grouping, it may simply be too late in SWTOR.

They should not have waited this long, these things unfortunately should have been in at game launch, or at latest, patch 1.1. Now its all too little too late.

While I will give 1.3 a try, this factor, along with the upcoming Jedi Knight Tank PvP nerfs listed on PTS patch notes are causing me to hover over the unsubscribe button. My main is a Jedi Knight Tank, I am not switching and redoing the months of grinding for WH, Campaign/Black Hole gear, just not even remotely worth it. My main is less playable then my vanguard and shadow alts, if it gets any worse, then thats it for me.

Nope, shortly after Wath, when i 1st started, that was me sitting in queue waiting for BC heroics.

Point is x-server or not, when the majority of players have left the lower FP's behind and are doing the new ones, it wont matter much.
