Don't feel like going from planet to station, to ship, to fleet, to FP, just to get it done, only to go from FP, to fleet, to ship, to station, to planet again and resume questing.
Yes a horrible travel system in an MMORPG life is harsh, I know

Then you are lucky of having more then a few people on a planet, which is what I see since my play time is not during the prime time.

Good point. Most of the people who are against these tools have a HUGE gametime window. They don't understand the complaints from people who don't play at prime time.

Then feel free to do all that travel when ever you get groups. Most people actually don't like seeing all those loading screens, there is zero fun during a loading screen. Would like to know where the RPG is in so many loading screens? How are you even doing RPG during a loading screen?

With it just being Single server, I don't plan on seeing more then 1 maybe 2 flashpoints per day, which would actually be 1 or 2 more then what I am getting now. At least with the tool, I get off the station, use the tool while I am out doing my quests, where the tool will be able to reach out to people on the planets, the fleet, and their ships, instead of just 1 of those places. Right now, because there are so few people on the planets, I have a greater chance of getting people for a group on fleet, but I have to stay on fleet the whole time while looking for a group.

The majority of the player base doesn't even play during the prime time, it is only about 20% to 30% of the player base that actually gets to play during the same 3-4 hour period, where as 70% to 80% of the player base get to play at different times of the other 20-21 hours in the day.

I wish I was wrong, but I donot have any faith in the LFG tool working well for those on low pop servers and play at non prime times to boot. We shall know this time next week for sure.

Yeah, no one wants to be social and ask for groups, they want to avoid that and just be lazy about it.

Well...we could say the same thing about mounts or Fleet Emergency passes. Or quick travel. When a player uses a LFG tool, he/she" is asking for a group." Only difference is they can go about doing thier dailies and leveling without having to be concerned about it or staring at general chat.
